Valcourt, Québec, January 26, 2010 – With
rain inundating the desert southwest for most of
the leading days to the World Off-Road
Championship Series (WORCS) opening round at
Speedworld MX Park near Phoenix, AZ; it appeared
the race would be a muddy mess. However, the
rain stopped just in time to limit the mud and
actually enhanced the race course. In the end,
Team Motoworks / Can-Am DS 450™ EFI ATV racer
Josh Frederick was able to finish second in the
pro class, while his teammate, Dillon Zimmerman
finished fifth in the class.
"Team Motoworks / Can-Am team is hungry to
win back the WORCS championship and Josh's
strong second place finish is a good start to
that goal," says Jimmie O'Dell, Racing Manager
for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "It is nice to get this
first race out of the way and now we can
concentrate on consistent finishes by all the
racers on the team this season."
In the amateur ranks, Cole Henry raced his
Motoworks DS 450 to the Pro-Am win in his WORCS
debut. Henry is a regular on his DS 450 back
east in the AMA / ATVA ATV Motocross Nationals
and will be racing the WORCS season as part of
the Motoworks team.
the next round in the WORCS championship is
February 27-28 near Primm, NV.
