2012 WORCS ATV Racing Round #8 - Honolulu Hills MX September 16, 2012 Taft, California

Motorworks/Can-Am’s Josh Frederick did not have his best race. The # 2 made last minute changes to his ATV on Saturday night and they weren’t quite what he was looking for. Arm pump also made for a long day as the veteran rider was able to pull together a fifth place finish.

Can-Am / DWT / Motoworks’ #2 Josh Frederick got off to a third place start, but he wasn’t able to hold off the competition as he dropped back to a rare fifth place finish, but Frederick held onto his second spot in points for yet another year, but the multi-time WORCS champion was after the big prize, which eluded him in 2012.

“I had a good start, came out third and was finally running up front. I just had an off day; I went the wrong direction on bike set up and struggled with it all day. No excuses though it is what it is and move on from there” regards Frederick about his finish.

Frederick finished the year in the second spot. “It’s been a great year. I don’t regret anything. The team worked hard, I worked hard. I did the best I could and to finish second in the pro class is a great accomplishment” said Frederick.

Can-Am Josh Frederick secured a season best finish in the second spot in the Can-Am Commander 1000 SxS with Frederick gaining two spots in the final lap as he edged out Greg Row finishing in third.  Frederick is looking to racing the all-new Can-Am Maverick 1000R SxS next year, which was announced this weekend at the Sand Sports Show in California.  Frederick had a chance to already drive the new Maverick, and he was really impressed with it.

Despite a less than stellar finish in the Pro Class Frederick was able to put together his career best finish aboard his Motorworks / Can-Am Commander on Saturday in the SxS Production 100 class .Frederick had good starting position on line one but was unable to capitalize on it and came out near the back of the pack. He worked his way to sixth position and was able to restart there after a bottlenick in the canyon. Frederick made it up to the forth spot and near the end of the race was able to shoot up to second when the leaders ran into difficulties. Frederick hopes to be able to pilot the all-new 2013 Can-Am Maverick 100R SxS next season.

Yamaha's #417 Josh Row finished in the 6th spot at Honolulu Hills

Claiming sixth place was Yamaha’s #417 Josh Row. Row came off the gate next to last and really had to work hard to make passes through all the mud and dust. Row began to make time on the leaders but on the second to last lap lost his rear brakes which caused him to crash and kept him back in sixth spot.

“This has been a building season for me and my mechanic, Kevin Avira. We have been doing a lot of testing and getting everything better. I can’t thank him enough for the amount of work he has done getting the Yamaha better and better” said Row.
