In the mod. class he was in qualifying position for his main event and crashed, making him not qualify. Ronnie raced the 85 12-13 stock and 105 Supermini classes.

(May 21 & 22). I went to a WORCS (World Off-Road Championship Series) race in Taft, CA. On Saturday I raced the 85 A (Expert) class and got the holeshot finishing 2nd only 11 seconds behind Team Green Rider Josh Morros after 52 minutes. On Sunday, I raced the Supermini class (Experts only). I got another holeshot and Josh Morros passed me onl about 2 minutes in. After that, Team Green Rider Sean Geiser and I were battling until I crashed hard about 8 minutes in. I got up and finally got going in about 6th. I passed up to third and started catching Sean Geiser. I never did catch all the way up because he was a minute ahead of me when I got up from crashing. I closed in to about 20 seconds behind him, and finished third.
