Liqui Moly Factory Beta - Anaheim One



Beta Motorcycles became the first new manufacturer in a few decades to line up on the grid at Supercross. Being new to the sport, as well as the injury to team rider Colt Nichols forcing him to miss round one, the team came in with hopeful but managed expectations. Teammate Benny Bloss put in a solid effort in the heat race running in the top ten. However, a lap before the end of the race he would pull off with a mechanical issue. Team mechanics worked on and prepped the bike to get Bloss ready for the LCQ. Yet, out of the gate Bloss wasn't comfortable on the bike and again pulled off the track. The team is eager to take everything from this round and learn from it, viewing the debut as a stepping stone toward future success.

DeMartile Wins His First WORCS Race to Open Season



The best way to kick off the season is to go out and win. That is exactly what Dare DeMartile did last Saturday in the WORCS opener. The muddy track dried out enough before the start of the race for ideal conditions. DeMartile got off the line in fourth place and ran there until lap three when he was able to make a pass for third. On lap five Dare got by another rider and up into second. During the final pit stop, DeMartile got by the leader and never looked back to finish on top a full 20 seconds ahead of the runner-up. This is Dare's first win in two full seasons racing the WORCS series.
