WORCS Racing Series Expands East with Creation of WORCS MAXC
WORCS Racing & MAXC Racing Series Team Up​

Martinsville, IN (5/30/2014) - The World Off Road Championship Racing Series (WORCS) and the Mid America Cross Country Racing Series (MAXC) are pleased to announce they are joining forces to create an expanded racing series called WORCS MAXC to create the first true National Racing Series. Starting in 2015, the WORCS series will have an East Coast (WORCS MAXC) and a West Coast Racing Series (The original WORCS Racing Series). This will give WORCS offices in Utah, Washington and Indiana.

For the East Coast rounds, WORCS will be partnered with the fast-growing Mid America XC Racing Series in the Midwest. "The plan is to bring the WORCS two day format to the MAXC Series and we would also like to bring the shorter GP formats and our class structure to the series as well include Friday practice sessions if needed," says CEO of ORS LLC Sean Reddish.

The WORCS Racing Series on the on the West Coast will remain the same with the exception of a few small adjustments in the Pro UTV classes so more champions can be crowned. However, the WORCS MAXC Racing Series will have the same well organized family friendly atmosphere along with a few new changes including a two-day format and a GP style track layout with racers competing in an optional two days of racing.

ATV and Motorcycle classes will run on both days and there will be several classes on each day designated by age, skill level, and displacement. This gives racers the opportunity to sign up for multiple classes and also have the opportunity to advance / qualify for higher skill level classes. By using this racing format, it gives racers the ability to compete for several different class championships during the same racing season.

With the growing popularity and racing coverage each racing series receives, both WORCS & MAXC promoters felt that their knowledge and experience hosting off-road racing events have created a great opportunity to come together to grow the sport off road racing throughout the nation.

"We are excited to take the enthusiasm of XC racing that we have in Indiana and build that enthusiasm and expand it outside of Indiana. The MAXC along with the WORCS Series are excited to bring racers a true national level because we will be covering the West Coast and East Coast," said MAXC Racing Series Owner Mike Gibbs

As of now an East / West shootout is in the plans, but only time will tell if the shootout will take place in 2015. Either way, the exciting WORCS Off Road Racing Series will be present coast-to-coast drawing in the best off road racers in the country and around the world.

Good people behind WORCS. This is good news. I can't believe how many SxS classes there are now. Let alone add more. Also noticed it looks like everyone will get to race both days. I remember this being talked about in the past.
Positives and negatives for sure trying to race two days. Should be interesting.

Hello to everyone, I am Tom Brinkman, the owner at Monster Mountain MX Park in Tallassee, Alabama.

We will be hosting our first UTV race in August. It is a round of the GORS series.
</O:p
If there is sufficient interest, we would love to talk to someone about the possibility of hosting WORCS events.

We are a 200 acre motocross park with a 1.39 mile outdoor-national caliber track, a .9 mile GP track, and over 4 miles of really nice UTV trails.

Here are a few pics of the main track.


My number is 334-318-8475 if racing at Monster Mountain looks like a good fit for WORCS events.

Cheers,


<O:p</O:p
Tom

Tom- Your facility is the top of the tier for the southeast when it comes to mx. The turnout for your GORS race should be excellent. I plan on racing at your venue in August with GORS. Hope to see the layout of the track using the natural terrain like you do for motocross. Your track looks like it will have that nice flow in a UTV, and hopefully keep the speeds above 30mph. I haven't attended any GORS races over at the tracks in SC, and I may be wrong, but they look a little tight and seem very determined to have large jumps. Which is fine by me, I just know as a racer that the fans want to see multiple car battles and we have to keep cars on track and not broke from flat landing jumps. Looking forward to your event!
