DeMartile Masters Marysville WORCS T he followers of the WORCS Championship packed their gearbags and headed to E-Street MX in Marysville, California, for the third installment of the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC WORCS Series, February 24-25. Beautiful weather and a new track to the series brought fresh air to the racing scene with some excel - lent racing. A seven-mile course with terrain ranging from single track through trees to riding on top of river rock and a pristine MX track. Beta Racing's Dare DeMartile took the win at what he calls his hometown race, with friends and family all showing up in support. Mason Semmens brought home another win in Pro 250, with Jackson Glathar regaining the top spot in Pro-Am. Ten riders lined up for the 450cc Pro race, with some local talent coming out to compete against the best in the WORCS Championship. DeMartile show - cased how comfortable he felt at home, as he shot out of the gate early, grabbed the holeshot and never looked back. He set the fastest lap time of the day on his Beta on lap two with a blistering time that was seven seconds quicker than anyone else on the track. He maintained that pace for most of the race, allowing himself to build a lead that extended to 30 seconds at one point. SLR Honda rider Cole Martinez returned to WORCS racing and made it count, as he settled in behind DeMartile early and kept that position from start to finish. Right behind them, Jus - tin Hoeft and Trevor Stewart battled for third. Stewart, on the Purvines Racing Yamaha, was in third after making a pass on Tyler Lynn during the second lap and kept that for the first half of the race.
