Announcement: JSR MOTO DESIGNS JOINS THE ATV ELIMINATOR HOLESHOT PROGRAM

ROUND 7&8
Glen Helen Raceway, CA – Oct 1-3
Glen Helen’s Eliminator Hole Shot did not disappoint in the least. And I am so proud of Cody Sanford for finally pulling out a hole shot. Not sure why Braxton was third other that he must of been napping. LOL. Props to #70 Grayson Eller from North Carolina for a 5th on the Hole shot and a 3rd on the finish. And Alex Ortiz bumped his way in to the top three. Good job buddy!

We’ll see everyone at Mesquite. Drive safe!

Thanks Again,
Rick Ellsworth

ROUND 6
Cedar City, UT – Sept 3-5
Well the Eliminator holeshot for Cedar City was very exciting to watch.  Braden Schoeffel was able to pull off a “Dale Earnhardt” pass on the inside of Baxton Grosse for his first ProAm holeshot of the year.  I guess he was tired of me giving him crap about sleeping on the line.  LOL!   Way to go Braden!!  Also was good to see Alex Ortiz up in the mix.  He was able to edge out, Cody Sanford by a half of a tire, for a third on the holeshot.  And Torey Matajcich brought up a solid 5th. 
 
For the Pro holeshot it was Travis Damon.  He made it look very easy!  Make sure you get your Eliminator Holeshot T-shirt Travis.  

Well we are off to Glen Helen with it’s famous “Daytona Corner” start.  I really love that corner!  
See ya there!   

Thanks Again,
Rick Ellsworth

ROUND 5
Preston, ID – June 4-6
Well it was great seeing a new track in Idaho. Flat tracks are usually not my favorite. But thanks to a few tips from a couple Pros, I was able to do very well. Two Holeshots & Two wins!!

Oh and how about that unclassified!! I haven’t been that muddy in a long time! Good times, right!?

The ProAm Holeshot didn’t disappoint. That’s probably the tightest overall hole shot that I’ve seen so far. As they were going into the holeshot corner, it really looked like Braxton Grosse had another one. But that corner had just gotten watered causing him to slip up the hill, allowing Brian Jackson to just barely edge him out. You could have thrown a blanket over the rest of the ProAm riders.

In the Pros, Beau Baron got the holeshot. I was looking at the start gate the day before and saw a slot that I thought Beau might take. And I wasn’t surprised to see him there on the Pro start line. I’m not gonna give away any secrets, but it is something that you would learn if you took Beau’s riding school. Just saying! lol

Special thanks to Chris “our announcer” and JD “at the finish line”. They helped out with calling the holeshots for the amateurs as I was a little shorthanded this round.

Well we’re off to another new track. Thankfully it’s up in the cooler area, Utah. This will be a brand-new track near Three Peaks @ Cedar City, Utah. If you have a mountain bike, there are some awesome trails right there at Three Peaks. Make sure you check out the WORCS website for all the info that you might need. Can’t wait to see what the WORCS guys have up their sleeves for us there.

See ya there!!
Thanks Again,
Rick Ellsworth

ROUND 3
Lake Havasu City, AZ – March 21, 2021

Wow we really saw some big movement in the Eliminator HoleWhot standings. #17 Branden Schoeffel rocketed up to 2nd in the championship hunt. While #23 Braxton Grosse extended his lead. Another big mover was #319 Torey Matajcich, moving up to 5th overall. Bad break, literally, for Brian Jackson as he suffered an injury at a GNCC event that kept him out of this round. And honorable mention, #120 Gordon Tarnow moved up to 6th overall.

Holeshots at Honolulu Hills Raceway, Taft, are always exciting. Long approach and slam on the brakes going into a sweeping 180 degree turn. Good stuff for sure!

And lastly…. My favorite little racer, #18p Cadence Copenhaver. She was third off the line and got pinched to the inside going into the HoleWhot corner. But she held her line and came out on top for the Eliminator HoleShot!! It was impressive to watch. I predict a future Women’s A Champion right there!

See ya in Taft, Ca. for round #4.

ROUND 2
Peoria, AZ – March 1, 2021 – Well talk about a wild HoleShot run for the Pro’s!  Thank God Kenny Sanford is ok.  He took a wild ride right past my sister.  If you haven’t seen the video, you’ve got to chick it out.  Congrats to Ricardo Gonzalez for getting the Pro HoleShot.  

As for the ProAm HoleShot.  That would be “the Kid”  Brian Jackson.  He really had the field covered this time.  Real good to see some new faces up in the mix. #17 Braden Schoeffel must have worked on his holeshots in the off season. He pulled a third off the line.  Also great to see Alex Ortez #603 back out there with a new ride.

Ok back to the HoleWhot T-shirt program. I officially have a new favorite racer. Her name is Cadence Copenhaver #18p. She races the 50cc 4-6 class. That girl is on fire when it comes to holeshots. She had at least a 5-6 quad lead on the rest of the field at the line. She also got the holeshot at the first round in Havasu. Matter of fact she is the very first girl to get an Eliminator Holeshot t-shirt. I predict that she will be a Women’s A Champion someday.   

We’ll see everyone in Havasu in a few weeks. Can’t wait!

ROUND 1
Lake Havasu City, AZ – Jan 15, 2021 – Well the excitement of the Eliminator Hole Shot reached all new levels with this opening round of the 2021 season. Yeah the ProAm’ers were excited about the increase to $100, but the real excitement came from all the amateur classes.

Darren, the starter, let me speak to all the racers just prior to their starts. It was so cool seeing the little kids bunching on their seats as I was telling them about the Hole Shot T-shirts.

The “First Official Boy” to claim his Hole Shot T-shirt was #25y Leighton Johnson of Winslow, Az.

And the reaction of some of the parents was priceless. You would have thought I just gave their kid a free year scholarship to college. LOL!! And one more….One person said they didn’t care if they got a WORCS trophy for the race. Their only goal was to get a Hole Shot T-shirt. (sorry Randy) lol.

Ok now the ProAm Hole Shot. Well if the first round is any sign of what is to come, I think it is going to be an awesome year. The Havasu Eliminator Hole Shot went to Braxton Grosse. I thought Brian Jackson was going to get him on the high side, but Brian told me that his bike got upset a little in the first corner. He slid up the hill and Cody Sanford slipped in to the second spot, putting him back to third. They were followed by Braden Schoeffel & Gordon Tarnow.

I really have to thank my sister, Suzan Minnicks. She said it took her a couple hours to make sure the results were correct. “Thx Suzie!!!!”

And finally….I want to give a shout out to Jason Rock and the whole Caliber Racing Team. They have joined the Hole Shot Program. They are also, “Eyes on the ground” during the Hole Shots for all the youth classes. Thx Guys!!!

Ok, it’s off to Canyon MX in Peoria, Az. we go. It will be interesting to see what the WORCS crew will do for the start. See you all there.

Thanks Again,
Rick Ellsworth
