BRP Can-Am DS450 Wins BITD Parker 250
Desert Race
Motoworks Josh Frederick &
Dillon Zimmerman Lead the Charge
Valcourt, Canada (1/13/2010) -
The tandem of Josh Frederick and Dillon Zimmerman
finished ahead of all other Quad Pro class competitors,
racing a Team Motoworks-prepped Can-Am DS 450™
EFI ATV at the Best In The Desert Parker 250 desert
race. Cutting across the desert at breakneck speed,
the riders quickly established themselves as the
team to beat during the three laps of the 83-mile
loop. Frederick and Zimmerman finished the race
just over five hours, nearly two minutes ahead of
second place.
"The Motoworks team was testing different
setting, using the Parker 250 as a tune-up race
for the upcoming WORCS series," says Jimmie
O'Dell, Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP.
"So it was icing on the cake to get the big
win for the DS 450! Josh and Dillon rode a blistering
pace and we are encouraged with the great start
to the 2010 season."
Frederick is no stranger to success in desert
racing, as he was the Best In The Desert Quad
Pro champion in 2005. His teammate, Zimmerman,
is a relative newcomer to pure desert racing,
but has quickly established himself as a young
talent in the ATV racing world.
Bryan Buckhannon, who regularly races the Grand
National Cross Country Series back east, took
to the desert aboard a Can-Am Outlander™
800R EFI ATV with teammate Richard Goforth. The
two riders raced to the Quad Amateur win and finished
the race 10 minutes ahead of second place in the
class.
The next race for the two Motoworks riders will
be the WORCS opener January 24 near Phoenix, AZ.
Both riders are also racing the DWT World MX Racing
Championship with the final two rounds February
6 and 7 near Anza, CA. Buckhannon will race the
2010 GNCC opener on February 28 in Florida.
