Pro Stock SxS Win at the Sand Hollow
WORCS, which extends his lead to 26
points over 2nd place |
Bulloch took the lead on the first lap of
the Pro Stock race and never looked back.
Despite traditionally rough conditions, he
dominated the race to earn his third victory
of the year.
“I’ve never finished here without breaking,
so it’s nice that we got the Sand Hollow monkey
off our back,” said Bulloch. “I ran a solid
race until the final lap. I lost a tire, but
thank God I had the Tireblocks and I came
out with the win. The Pro Stock Class is all
about driving and every little thing counts.
My mechanic Rusty spent countless hours going
over the car. It’s been a tight schedule this
spring.”

Ray Bulloch recorded the fastest lap
time of the race in lap two, which was
over 8 seconds faster than his closest
competitor |
Sand Hollow is known for its rough and deep
sand whoops. That deep sand hides sharp rocks,
adding a further challenge to the car’s suspension
system. Bulloch’s Walker Evans shocks were
more than up to the challenge.
“I pushed it and it was a gnarly track,”
said Bulloch. “That rough stuff out there
and the way my suspension worked, my Walker
Evans suspension allowed me to push it harder.”
In the Pro race, Bulloch was tangled up with
another competitor at the start. After surviving
the impact, he rebounded to finish fourth
after losing the third spot on the final lap
due to front differential issues. Bulloch
was driving a new Polaris non-turbo.

“The second turn after the start, I had a
little contact and thank God I hung on,” said
Bulloch. “There was definitely some banging
and carnage. I knew we would have nothing
for these turbo guys at this track, so I was
hoping that they would break. This was definitely
the most gnarly track I’ve seen in WORCS.
It was short and every lap it changed.”
Six races into the season, Bulloch’s outlook
is positive. He heads into his home town race
next month with the lead in Pro Stock and
outside shot in the Pro title chase.
“We’ve had some ups and downs the last few
weeks,” said Bulloch. “We got a win at the
UTV World Championship. We got a win here.
We’re definitely up in the points in Pro Stock.
In Pro Production, we flat out just have go
for it.”
Bulloch’s son Skyler finished second in the
SXS 800 Production race. After scoring his
fourth podium this season, including two wins,
Skyler Bulloch is now second in points just
five points out of the lead in his Arctic
Cat.

which moves him within 5 points of the
leader |
“There were so many drop offs on the first
lap, I thought I was going to break my car
several times,” said Skyler Bulloch. “I had
a good minute or two on third and I ran a
really good race. My Maxxis Tires with Tireblocks
held up really great in the rocks. DNP Performance
and our mechanic Rusty did a lot of work on
my car and it paid off.”
