2013 WORCS ATV Racing Round #6 - Pala Raceway July 13, 2013 Pala, California

Can-Am’s Pablo Veglia earned his season best finish by taking third on his Murray Brothers Can-Am Maverick. Veglia had a lot of work to do, as he was in eleventh on lap one. He pushed hard, advancing each lap. He took over the fifth spot on lap three, before moving into third on lap four.

“I am going for points and a championship and this finish is going to help with that. It sucks that a few good guys broke, but that’s racing. I took every advantage I could today and really pushed my RZR,” regarded Piplic after the race.

Motowork’s Gilbert Flores earned his best finish yet with fourth in the SxS Pro Production class. Flores rallied from tenth on lap two to the fifth spot on lap five. Flores made changes to his Maverick since the last round and the changes seemed to help him. He took over fourth on lap five.

“I just rode my own race. I stayed smart and hoped for the best. Hopefully we’ll get the box next time,” regarded Flores.

GNCC native, Kyle Chaney made the trip west to compete in his first ever WORCS race. Chaney got hit in the first turn of the race and broke an axle on his Maverick. He continued to charge until the broken axle poked a hole in the radiator. He had to stop and fill it with fluid twice, but was able to muster a top five finish despite the issues.

“The Maverick ran great. I can’t thank the Murray Brothers enough for having me out here. I had a great time. I hope to come back and put it on the box for them,” said Chaney after the race.

Point’s leader Beau Baron had the initial lead in the race, however he broke a ball joint half way through lap one. The issue put him out of contention and he was unable to finish.

Mitch Guthrie Jr. earned his fifth class win in the SxS Production 1000 class. Guthrie got the holeshot and grabbed the early lead. He ended up getting a flat tire and dropping to third position, but was able to come back and pass for the lead. He ended up taking the class win by nearly three minutes.

“The track was rough but once I settled down I was able to make a lot of progress. The RZR was working awesome and I am really happy to get another win,” said Guthrie.

Richie Laatz placed second at the round. This is Laatz’s best finish this season.  Robert Mowrer rounded out the top three in the class.

In the SxS Production 850, Nolan Remlinder earned his first class win. Remlinger took the win by an impressive three minutes

David Haagsma raced his H&M Motorsports RZR to his fifth consecutive win in the SxS Production 700 class.

The seventh round of the Rocky Mountain ATV MC WORCS will take place August 9-11 2013 in Devore, California at Glen Helen.
