Hoeft Tops Blythe WORCS
T
he 2024 Rocky Mountain
ATV/MC WORCS Series
reached its halfway point as
racers headed to Shorty's Sports
MX Park in Blythe, California,
April 13-14. One of the fastest
tracks on the circuit had the
riders pushing themselves to
the limit as they flew down the
long straights. Endurance was
the name of the game, as all
three classes had lead changes
throughout the race. Justin
Hoeft brought home his second-
season victory, while Mason
Semmens made it three wins in
a row in Pro 250, and Jackson
Glathar again found the top spot
in Am-Pro.
A warm weekend in April
brought sunny skies to Shorty's.
Temperatures were in the mid-
80s, and a breeze made it the
hottest round of the year so far.
Dare DeMartile put his Beta USA
450 in the lead after grabbing a
holeshot and found himself with
clean air early, giving himself a
big lead in the race's first half.
Tyler Lynn had a slight mis
-
hap on the start, forcing him to
start from dead last with quite
the gap, but that didn't stop him
from closing that gap and being
in the mix early. He made some
moves as he battled against
teammate Cole Martinez and
Purvines Racing Jack Simpson
throughout before solidifying his
place in third behind DeMartile
and Hoeft. Lynn's SLR Honda
was singing through the long
WIND
IN THE
P46
Justin Hoeft claimed
his second WORCS win
of the season at the
latest round in Blythe.
