My thoughts on Worcs. Part ONE

World Off-Road Championship Series.

My thoughts on worcs has differed from year to year. From winning a Pro-am race to totally given up on off-road. Ive had a rocky relationship with off-road racing.

First of all Its gnarly. Really gnarly. With long lap times and a 1.5 hour long pro race its crazy. The competition is the best in the world. For the past 3 years the championship has gone down to the last race. No other racing in the USA has competition like worcs. Its also really family friendly racing. Ages from 5 years old to 55 years old. You can race your 4×4 or your trx450. You can sign up early online, and everyone that works of worcs is good people.

The whole weekend is an adventure. Get there thursday night. Most likely the track is in some hot dusty out of the way place. Set up camp friday morning. Go out for mx practice. I know mx practice for an off-road race? I don’t get it. After practice prep the bike. Sign up for a Worcs membership and your classes. Bring some KY because you are going to need it. Eat a lot and get a good nights sleep.

In the morning they have these races called “unclassified”. Its a race that you pay $30? (I cant find the price on the website might be $20) But its not really a race its just practice.(its on the full off-road course) Finish the “practice” that you payed for, go back and get ready for your race.

Your race, If you race A/B/c you race for 50 mins about 4-7 laps. Now the pros have a 60 min practice at 1:25. Sleep, eat repeat on sunday for the amateurs, and the pro’s have a 90 min race on sunday.

The pro class and WTF happened to the most awesome rumor ever……… Now the rumor was the pro class would go from one 2 hour race to two 1 hour races. One on saturday, one on sunday. This would of made it more of a sprint type racing. AKA better racing. Less broken bikes/less DNF’s. Now they did go one step in the right direction by lowering the time but I still think the two moto format would be better.

I will do a part 2 next week after round one of the 2011 series kicks off this weekend in taft CA.

Clark County!

I will be at Clark County this weekend taking pictures with my new camera! I will be posting my pictures on photobucket. http://s1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb460/holeshothotties/

Lets talk about racing atv’s in the North West.

::::::Warning Reed is typing:::::::::

Racing atv’s in the North West is unlike any other place in the U.S. You have to doge the rain. Some times ride on the same day as dirt bikes. Race in the woods. All sorts of challenges that sometimes hamper the turnouts of NW races.

NWQNIm not going to dance around the elephant in the room that is NWQN. www.fantomzatv.com FZA had a 14 round (7 weekend) series that went from Spokane to Albany and all the places in between. This series still needs work but is improving year by year. With a steady rider count of about 70 entries per day. (I totally guessed so I might be way off) NWQN has its following of riders that are going to stick by that series’s side through thick and thin.

Woodland.Its been there for ever and hopefully will be there for years to come. It got a nice track redesign this year by the “trackmasters” The track looks really fun and they always have decent turn outs.

MotoXposer series.www.pittraffic.com Brand new this year. Being put on by Megan from pittraffic. Its a series within a series. I have a hard time explaining it so go to the link above for more info. But its going to be fun I can promise u that.

Clark County.Put on by Elaine Derrick and Promoto promotions. www.promotopromotions.com Its tight Indoor during the winter. Elaine always puts on a great event and really cares about the quad community. And she even rewards her loyal riders by letting them ride during the spring (? might be fall) clark county fair in front of hundreds of people.

Cody E. at the re-designed Woodland.

The future.
I have heard talks of Quadcross coming up here, of Devol having a mini quad series. DWT world atv championship series is coming to Washougal this summer. All in all things are looking good if you race an atv in the northwest.

What I have been up to.

Hello internet world, Reed Petchnick here. Lets talk about what I have been up to. A lot of you know I have recently tore my ACL and messed my knee up pretty good.

I was in Richland Washington attending the last round of NWQN. Friday practice went very well. I was throwing down some fast lap times and hitting lines no one else could. Saturday morning I got up ready to ride. I was one of the first people to hit the track. I had been looking at doing the “old” finish line triple the previous day. So I decided to give it ago since the track was super smooth and I saw a dirt bike do it the lap before. I remember coming over the jump before it at a good pace. I clicked 4th and went for it. Flying through the air thinking “wow, this is a lot farther than I thought.”

I landed right on top of the landing. I felt a sharp pain in my left knee. At that point I thought I had just jammed my foot like I did at Clark County the summer before. I pulled off the track and went to get off my bike. Then the worst part came. I went to move my knee. It didn’t move. I put pressure on it, and popped it back into place. At this time all the pain started to set in.

I would like to thank Josh Pursell for stopping and seeing if I was ok after two other ridders road right past me. My dad and Sean Clinton came over to me and assessed the damage. After getting off the track and back to the box van, he said I may have torn my ACL and to go to the ER right away.

So here I am today, 2 months later. I still haven’t had surgery yet. Due to a complication between my physical therapy and orthopedic doctor, and a blood clot that sent me to the ER for the second time.

Adding one more

I have a big announcement to make we are adding one more person to add to the team.Tyler Tiffany! He will be representing Holeshot Hotties in production B this year at NWQN.

Riverdale Video!

Riverdale Practice

Holeshot Hotties was at Riverdale this weekend. Riverdale is a fun place to practice. Its wasn’t to bad this weekend. Having nice weather all week defiantly helped. It was still a little soft, due to it being soft it got rough. The jumps are all “do able”. Some of the jumps can get a little gnarly but they are not to big anyway.

Check out more picture and to talk about more racing stuff at the forum.
