Jacob Peter Takes Second at WORCS Season Opener – Absolute Motorsports’ Jacob Peter WORCS Race Report

Las Vegas, NV (2/11/2018) – Absolute Motorsports’ Jacob Peter kicked off the 2018 WORCS Racing season with success, scoring a pair of runner-up finishes. The season-opening racing weekend was held at The Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

The course was unique on the WORCS circuit as it comprised several asphalt sections, along with big air motocross-style jumps, as well as log and tire obstacles. The course was tough on all the classes, but particularly the youth SXS as many racers had trouble negotiating the logs.

Peter is one of the few youth racers that competes in all three disciplines of WORCS racing: SXS, ATV, and motorcycle. He finished second in the SXS and ATV races. While running fourth in the motorcycle event, he had a tipover. He recovered to finish 11^th.

Driving a Polaris RZR 170, Peter got a great jump in the SXS Youth Production race. After taking second late in the race, he set his sights on the leader, but was held up by lapped traffic on the tight course.

“I did pretty well at the start, but Dallas Gonzales got past me,” said Peter. “Then he had a mechanical problem and I got second. I tried to get Chase Carr for the lead, but lapped cars slowed me down a bit. The Polaris RZR 170 is nice. It handled the logs and the rest of the track really well. The GBC Tires worked really well especially on the asphalt. It was like go-kart racing and I had fun.”

Along with extra track time, Peter likes running all three classes because it makes for good experience. Young racers should take note, as this is the type of program that Beau Baron has used to earn championships across all forms off off-road racing.

“I like to race all three classes because it gives me perspective of the type of racing that other people do,” said Peter.

Peter will be back in action as the WORCS Series next heads to more traditional digs at Canyon MX in Peoria, AZ. That race is scheduled for February 23-25.
