WORCS 6
WORCS made its first trip this past weekend to Iron Mine Motocross Park in Cedar City, Utah, for round six. Racers were greeted with a rough track, high temperatures and plenty of dust to keep them honest. Team ITP had racers competing in the SxS Pro and SxS 1000 classes.

"We had three racers in the top 10 in the Pro class and were just seconds off reaching the top five. Pablo Veglia did very well considering he started from the third row and had a lot of ground to make up and dust to deal with," said Ryan Edwards, Tech Support Representative / West Coast Race Coordinator. "And Kyle Melville was running solid, challenging for third place in the Production 1000 class, but fell victim to a mechanical at the end."
Earning the best Pro class finish for Team ITP was Del Amo Motorsports / Can-Am / ITP pilot Pablo Veglia, who took a very solid sixth-place finish, with adjusted time, despite starting on row three. The best finish of the year moved Veglia to ninth place in the overall standings. Mike Camp (IMG Motorsports) came in one spot behind Veglia and recorded enough points to jump into sixth place in the class standings. Nick Thompson also made the top 10, earning eighth place in his Polaris outfitted with ITP Black Water EVO tires.

Melville (Del Amo Motorsports / Can-Am / ITP) was in the top four and pushing for more before a mechanical ended his day on lap three. Shawn Viola recorded fifth in the SxS 1000 ranks, competing against 17 others. He came from ninth in his Polaris outfitted with 30-inch ITP Ultracross tires to tally his third top-five finish of the season. Racers Dallas Hash (ninth) and Alfredo Ramirez (10th) also made the top 10 for ITP. Ramirez is currently ranked fifth in the class, while Viola (seventh), Melville (eighth) and Hash (10th) are all in the top 10 with three rounds remaining this season.
