As we reported in the March issue, the 2005 World Off-Road Championship Series will have an ATV only schedule. That's right, no more having to share the pits with those egotistical dirt bike riders! Just kidding dirt bike guys, we love you. No really, we do.

It also will supply the 4-Stroke A champion with a Limited Edition Yamaha YFZ450. Also, Jet Shed Polaris has donated a 2005 Polaris Predator for the Production A National Champion.
These discounts and prizes, combined with more than $100,000 in contingency awards, make this an incredible year to be involved in WORCS ATV racing.
For those interested in participating in the eight-race series, it helps to live on the West Coast. The races are scheduled for Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Texas, Utah and Washington.
