WORCS and SCORE




With the Tecate SCORE Baja 500 happening the same weekend as Rd #5 WORCS series we have decided to split it up and be representative at both events. Doug Roll will be in Mexico supporting the off-road efforts of the Elka riders, and Erik Westergaard will be at the Clay Peaks WORCS event in Payette, ID. We will NOT have the trailer at the WORCS race for this round but we will be pitting out of the Hancock Racing Pro-ATV rig, and will have one of our Elka EZ-Ups to help easily locate us. We will have some limited capabilities and parts so we will be offering emergency repair services, and setup... but will NOT be servicing shocks for this round so if you need them done, please get them in now.

Save your shocks...

Shock maintenance is a necessity. Keeping them fresh with oil and seals will allow them to work as intended, but minimizing damage from debris is also a very big part of it.

Pitted shafts can cause your seals to fail prematurely, possibly costing you an unnecessary service interval. Keep your shafts protected from flying rocks, sand and more by adding shock protectors. It is the cheapest insurance you can get and is less than the cost of new shafts.

We have them in stock, so be sure to order a set to be sure you get them for your next ride or for stocking stuffers for your Elka ATV rider. We can easily add a set and install them during your next shock service as well.
