Western U.S. off-road GP racing returned to the headlines August 31, 2026, when Cycle News published Round 7 results from the Dynamite Grand Prix at Cache Valley MX Park in Preston, Idaho.
The event was co-sanctioned under the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA National Grand Prix Championship and WORCS. Mason Semmens (KTM) led wire-to-wire and finished about 12 seconds ahead of Dante Oliveira, ending Oliveira’s NGPC win streak. Dare DeMartile took third.
Multi-org entry produced large class fields per the same report. Trail Roamer treats WORCS/NGPC as secondary to GNCC and National Enduro, but a clean Western GP result still belongs in the racing feed for dual-sport and off-road readers who follow desert/GP formats.
No invented class sheets: podium module below reflects the published Pro overall order from Cycle News.
