Husqvarna Zip-Ty Racing Continue Winning Ways at WORCS


Davis Dominates In The Desert, Again!

Woodcliff Lake, NJ -
One
week after being crowned kings of the Adelanto GP, Team Husqvarna
Zip-Ty Racing was back on a winning track at round #2 of the WORCS
series in Primm, Nevada. Team head honcho Ty Davis continues to lead by
example and his protégés Pro Class racer Bobby Garrison and Pro2 Class
competitor Cory Graffunder were also on the gas in the Nevada desert.

Ty DavisTy Davis proved once again why
he is one of the fastest vet riders on the planet as he won the 30+ and Vet Pro Class to start things off right on Saturday.
"The sand sections were getting pretty whooped out at the end of the
day, but the conditions were perfect for
racing," says Davis. "The 30+ race was a blast... it was in the Vet Pro
Class that there were some challengers." Ty was battling with another
cagey veteran Paul Krause right off the start. "That old guy is still
pretty
fast," laughed Davis of his high desert neighbor and long-time
competitor. However Ty's cunning combined with the flawless performance
of his TXC 450 soon had him out front and cruising to the class win.
"The bike is a
rocketship!" exclaims Davis... and in fact it propelled him to wins in
the 30+A, 40+A and Vet Pro classes on the weekend.


Saturday's victories inspired Team Husqvarna's young gun Bobby Garrison
in the Pro class. After winning on the WR 125 the week before in
Adelanto, Garrison was back on the gas on his regular Husqvarna Zip-Ty
Racing TC 450 mount. "The
little 2-stroke was a blast at the GP, but I needed the big bike for
the WORCS course in Primm," Garrison explains. The Pro main featured a
dead-engine start and it took Bobby two kicks to get the big thumper
lit as more than half the
pack got away from him. "Guess I was spoiled by how easy the WR 125
kicked over," he shrugs. However he worked his way up from around 20th
to 11th by the end of the first lap and put on a charge that carried
him up to 8th by the
third lap and into a 4th place dice with Timmy Weigand that continued
to the checkered flag. "I gave it all I had to catch him, but was just
not able to make it stick," said a spent Garrison. Still, his fine 5th
place finish
moves him up to 6th overall in the series standings just a few points
out of first.

In
the Pro2 ranks, Cory Graffunder swapped the WR 250 2-stroke he raced to
3rd place at Adelanto the week before for the bigger WR 300. "There is
no replacement
for displacement in the desert," says the Canadian racer... no comment
about the Olympic hockey gold medals, please! Cory fired his Husqvarna
up on the first kick and rocketed to the holeshot. "I was going pretty
good from what I
remember," Graffunder recollects, "then, BOOM!" He hit a hole that
pitched him off the bike when it was wide open on the back stretch and
crashed hard. "I rang my bell pretty good and wadded the bike up, so I
decided to
park it for the day." Can you blame him?





"All in all, it was another great weekend for Team Husqvarna Zip-Ty
Racing," concludes Davis. "Cory grabbed the holeshot and looked great
in his first Pro2 race... well, up until he planted himself, and
Garrison was really
on the gas in the Pro Main." Naturally Ty neglected to mention the
three class wins he bagged on the weekend. "We would like to thank all
of our sponsors, families and friends for their support as without
them, none of this would
be possible."
