DeMartile Wins Utah WORCS
T
he Rocky Mountain ATV/
MC WORCS Championship
returned from its summer break
and headed to the Buckskin MX
Recreational Complex, Septem-
ber 7-8, for a weekend of racing
in the Northern Utah Plains.
Sunny skies and a light breeze
set up for a fantastic kick-off in
the second part of the season.
Dare DeMartile showcased what
his Beta racing machine could
do as he dominated the 450 Pro
class. The 250 Pro class was a
good one to watch, as five of the
best WORCS regulars battled for
the win. Colton Aeck eventually
took the victory, while Jackson
Glathar picked up right where he
left off by winning the Pro-Am
class.
This year's course was shorter
than last year's 5.5 miles, and
lap times hovered in the high
eight-minute to low nine-minute
range. It allowed for some
battles to brew over the entire
moto. Some of the top contend
-
ers are rehabbing injuries sus-
tained over the summer break,
which allowed for fresh battles
on the racetrack.
In the 450 Pro class, it was
the "Dare Show," as he exited the
gate and started flying and pull
-
ing ahead of Tyler Lynn and Jack
Simpson on his Beta Racing 450
machine. He quickly cemented
himself as the front-runner, as he
opened a gap early in the race.
SLR Honda rider Lynn started
in second and was in the dust,
trying to keep up with DeMar
-
tile as they fought through the
switchbacks of Buckskin Hills.
Lynn, who has been riding down
south preparing for the Baja 400
next week, was on the gas, as
he moved into second place in
points behind DeMartile.
After winning the 2023 Pro
250 class, Simpson had his first
podium of the 2024 season in
the 450s after finishing second
