For the next installment of the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC WORCS Racing series, we head north to Cedar Beach Oasis in Cedar City, Utah, for a challenging but fast course. Dare Demartile put his Beta USA 450 RX to the top spot on the podium for the second time this season to continue his solid and consistent season. Mason Semmens lets the good times roll as he wins again on his RPM Racing-backed KTM 250, and Racer Fry fights for his 1st Pro-Am win of the season with an impressive victory on his Purvines Racing Yamaha. On Saturday, Kaitlyn Jacobs extended her points lead in the Women’s Pro Class.

On Sunday, the Racers were graced with quite the pro section as they traversed through and over rocks, tires, a matrix of logs, and even a balance beam above an untouched section of dirt and rocks. Justin Hoeft flew off the line with the holeshot before heading into the fast, windy, tree-filled course. As the pack barreled into the pro section, they came in almost 4-wide, with Demartile the first over the tires. Hoeft and Tyler Lynn used the logs to jump over the balance beam section as they shot in front of Demartile on the first lap. The most challenging part of the course was quickly the matrix of logs, all at different lengths in between, giving a level of difficulty that played a pivotal role during this race. Lynn used every bit of the power on his SLR Honda 450 machine as he cemented himself early in the race as the man to beat, capturing a close to 30-second lead over the competition.

Demartile was in second place as Hoeft fell back to third, recovering after a crash the week before. Lynn found the fast line as he flew into the logs, tripling in early on in the race, giving him the quickest weekend lap at 8:20, just over 5 seconds faster than any other racer. With two laps remaining, Lynn was poised for an easy win at the Oasis till a slight mistake as he hit a tree root sent the bike flying over a berm; he was okay and able to recover and grab his machine to continue the race. The crash allowed Demartile to catch up and slide into the lead with just two laps to go; Lynn stayed in front of the charging Purvines Racing Yamaha teammates of Hoeft and Jack Simpson. After a rough start where his battery died, Simpson was charging hard, reeling in Hoeft lap after lap, but Hoeft was able to push forward in the end to halt him in his tracks long enough to land himself on the podium. Simpson and Giacomo Redondi wrapped up the top 5 at the Oasis. 

In 250 Pro, Kai Aiello showcased his speed early, putting himself in the lead on his 3 Bros Husqvarna machine. On the third lap, he found himself stuck on the final section in the Matrix, unable to get the bike up and over the last two logs, which proved to be the trickiest as it was just close enough together that you couldn’t fit the motorcycle straight between them. He fell back towards the back of the pack, allowing Colton Aeck to grab the lead from his Hatch Racing Kawasaki. Aeck led the race for the majority of it once had the lead, but another small mistake towards the end of this race allowed the points leader of Mason Semmens to take the lead and put his KTM on the top step for the 4th race in a row. Aeck bounced back after a rough round 5 in Blythe to finish in second place.

Jake Alvarez was in third place, but a last-lap mishap was all Aiello needed to move back into a podium after another hard-fought two-hour battle. This track proved quite tricky and slippery as the race progressed; as they pushed their bikes to the max, staying on two wheels was the game’s name. Pro-AM had a great battle from start to finish, with teammates Racer Fry and Kayden Lynn fighting with Jackson Glathar for the better part of the 120-minute endurance race. A slight penalty forced Glathar from second to third, but he stayed on the podium as Racer Fry was on fire from start to finish, gaining his first-ever Pro-AM win heading into the summer break. 

On Saturday morning, the 2-smokers let it all hang out as the sounds whistled through the trees. This track was wide open for the most part on their 125, and Redondi was on rails. For the entire race, he separated from the competition. On the final lap, disaster struck with only a few turns to go as he ran out of gas and had to push his way to the finish line. Tristun Alvarez capitalized on getting on the top step of the box for the first time since round 1 of this year. Travis Damon finished in second place for the start of his busy race weekend as he also won in ATV Pro on Sunday. Daemon Woolslayer rounded out the podium in 125 Pro. Kaitlyn Jacobs wins in Women Pro to stretch her points lead.
