WORCS

Pro win at Canyon MX after
charging into the early lead and
pulling away to take the check-
ers. It was the third-consecutive
win of the season for the Preci-

earned their debut podium fin-
ishes in the Pro class.
Reigning champion Gary
Sutherlin was noticeably absent;
he sidelined himself last week-
end with a broken wrist, suffered

The rocks, cactus and
whoops took their toll on many
of the racers at Canyon MX
Park, with several big wrecks
on the weekend, including even
the winner, Bell. Destry Abbott,
Ivan Ramirez and Eric Yorba all
encountered crashes that ended
their weekends, but no serious
injuries were reported.
In the Pro2 class, Justin Wal-
lis took the big win (and second
overall) ahead of Brandon Prieto
and Travis Damon.

ALL UDALL AT GLEN HELEN BIG 6 GP
A
lthough many riders were
away at the WORCS race in
Arizona, there was still a large
turnout for the Prairie Dogs GP,
round three of the MSR Big 6
Grand Prix Series. Although
many Southern California racers
can call Glen Helen their "back
yard," Udall proved to be the
most at-home on the fast 11-mile
course. The JCR Honda rider
sailed to a big win in the two-
hour West Coast GP feature on
Saturday afternoon, riding to
victory ahead of Justin Seeds.
Although Pro II racer Trevor
Stewart finished third overall,
it was Blayne Thompson who
rounded out the WCGP Pro
class in third. (Thompson pulled
double-duty over the weekend,
racing the WORCS race, as
well.) Stewart put in an impres-
sive ride to take the Pro II win
over Nick Stover and Rowan
Trefz.
