Podium at Sand Hollow Round Five

Sand Hollow State Park played host for this round and included one of the most challenging courses of the season, with a true off-road style course with laps that were double the length of a typical WORCS race and a variety of terrain, including some pavement areas, sand dunes and rock beds.
The tough conditions didn’t hold back
David Haagsma as he grabbed the Pro ATV holeshot.
“My Sparks engine fired right up and
my Maxxis tires really hooked. We grooved
them so we would get even more traction in
the sand,” said Haagsma.

Once out front, Haagsma led from start to finish for his second straight win of the season. “It was really rough out there but my Roll Design/Elka suspension helped keep me out front. It feels great to get another win. I have been practicing, and I am really pumped for the next round,” said Haagsma.
Beau Baron, who suffered a shoulder injury just three weeks prior at Lake Havasu, was looking much stronger and was in the number four spot off the start. “My shoulder wasn’t broken, so it is feeling a lot better, so I went out there and gave it my all,” said Baron.

The last half of the race was interesting for Baron. At the midway point, he was able to take over second place, but while racing he was also stung by a bee, which he is allergic to. Despite the sting, Baron was able to hold onto the second spot at the checkered flag. “I’m stoked with second place. It was rough out there and my Roll Design/Elka suspension really soaked it up and my Maxxis Tires had good traction even in the sand,” said Baron.
In the Pro SxS class, Beau Baron was back on the podium. The longer laps for this round came into play for Baron. “I had a little trouble remembering the course at first, and I was back in seventh place, but I was able to figure it out and picked some good lines and worked my way up,” said Baron, who earned a second place finish.

“This was my first podium this year since round two at Primm. It has been a little tough at times since I do all of my own work on the SxS, but I feel pretty good about this finish, and I think things will be turning around or me,” said Baron.
