WORCS racers were greeted with near record breaking
heat in the Arizona desert with temps reaching
99 degrees both days this weekend, but fortunately,
on Sunday, a hazy layer of clouds provided little
respite from the scorching sun for the Pro ATV
Main event in the Afternoon.
Track conditions were rough and rocky; just what
racers have come to expect from Lake Havasu, but
this year they groomed parts of the track after
the motorcycle race, so it as actually not as
rought as in years past, and the famous lagoon
jump was shortened up, so nearly everyone jumped
it unlike the entire race effortless without any
mishaps on Sunday, but that wasn’t the case during
practice on Friday.

On Friday, the lagoon lump had a bigger lip on
it, and a motorcycle racer wrecked bad over it,
so it was tamed down for the races. Also, Beau
Baron crashed during pratice on a step down jump
and his axle broke on both sides, which sent him
flipping over the bars, and injured his shoulder
in the process. “During practice, there was a
step down that I had hit about four or five times
with no problem in my first practice. I was one
of the first guys out for second practice and
I came around the left hander before it and came
off the lip. As soon as my back tires hit the
ground I heard a loud noise and my swing arm and
frame hit the ground and I went flipping down
the hill. Both sides of my axle snapped off at
the same time. I got hurt pretty good and messed
up my shoulder,” said Baron.

Fortunately, it was his left arm, so Baron decided
to race through the pain on Sunday with just the
use of his right hand on the gas to salvage some
points in the WORCS Pro ATV championship race.
