The seventh round of the nine-round WORCS Championship took place at Glen Helen Raceway, September 13-14, where Beta’s Dare DeMartile sped to victory for the fifth time this year, stretching out his slim points lead over rival Tyler Lynn.

DeMartile used the power of his 480cc Beta down the ultra-fast start straight, clocking an amazing 96 mph going into the first turn, aka Talladega, while fighting SVC Yamaha’s Justin Hoeft for the holeshot. DeMartile and Hoeft battled closely for a few laps before the Beta rider made his way into the lead and started to pull away ever so slowly.
Behind them, Lynn was riding well. Just one day after teaming up for a win at the Baja 400, Lynn showed no signs of fatigue, locking into a fierce battle with Colton Tucker. The two traded tenths of seconds lap after lap, each refusing to yield.
Further back, Carter Klein, Hayden Florez and Lyndon Snodgrass waged their own war for every position.
DeMartile stretched out his lead to approximately a minute and a half over Hoeft at the checkered flag. Less than a minute back of Hoeft came Lynn, followed by Tucker. Klein and Florez finished a lap down in fifth and sixth, respectively. Snodgrass dropped out on the 12th of 14 laps.

In the Pro 250 class, Jake Alvarez came out swinging with the holeshot and led for four laps before RPM Racing’s Mason Semmens (KTM) came calling.
Semmens, who had fallen early in the race, set the fastest lap time of the race and was headed to a sure win when a mistake on the last lap cost him two positions.
Colton Aeck (Kawasaki), who was as far back as fourth in the race, worked his way up and around Alvarez for second and inherited the win when Semmens had his problems. Alvarez also got around Semmens and crossed the finish line 48 seconds behind Aeck. Semmens salvaged third, more than two minutes behind the winner.
Dustyn Davis (GasGas) finished fourth, and RPM Racing’s Noah Gordon, who crashed early in the race, (KTM) was fifth.
In the championship, Semmens leads Alvarez by 37 points, and Gordon is just six points behind Alvarez in third.

The Pro Am class offered a glimpse into the sport’s future. David “Racer” Fry (Kawasaki) made it clear that his future is bright. Fry was in a league of his own, the only rider in the class to dip into the eight-minute lap range. He built a lead of more than two minutes over Kody Moore (Yamaha) for the class win.
Moore battled Gavin Dugan (Honda) throughout the race, putting on a good show for the spectators. Moore ended up taking the checkers 15 seconds ahead of Dugan. Jaxzen Tully (Husqvarna) and Jayce Zillmer (GasGas) completed the top five.
Klein has a comfortable 28-point lead over Fry in the class championship. Kayden Lynn, who did not suit up at Glen Helen, is another eight points back in third, one point ahead of Dugan.

Lauren Woods and Dana Raynor were the only two entered in the Women’s Pro class, with Woods taking the victory with room to spare, padding her points lead in the class championship to 39 over Raynor.CN
