Mesa, AZ (4/20/2012) -Fresh
from sweeping the Pro SxS and UTV Sportsman classes
at the legendary Mint
400 a couple weeks ago, DragonFire UTV teams were
in action again this past weekend... and topping
the podiumf
once again as well. National Guard/Polaris/ DragonFire
racer William Yokley remained perfect in GNCC
competition
with a commanding win of the Big Buck GNCC in
South Carolina, while out West, Nic Grandlund
put his Polaris on
the podium, winning the WORCS race held at Speed
World MX in Surprise, Arizona.
Conditions were hot, dusty and dry in the Carolina
woods, but Yokley kept his cool. After starting
in 2nd place,
Yokley passed for the lead before the end of the
first 4-mile loop and immediately began padding
his lead. By the
end of the hour-long race, he cruised to a 2 ½
minute cushion! Yokley finished first overall
out of 37 entries and
first in the XC1 modified field of 19 pro racers.
“Seems like Yokley’s competition
was feeling the heat,” quips DragonFire
Sales Manager Brice Ginn. “Seriously, we
are proud to supply William with the components
he needs to win,” he says. In addition to
a DragonFire Quick- Release Steering Wheel and
DragonBack Seats, DragonFire has supplied the
front suspension to the National Guard/Polaris
team for the past couple of GNCC championship
seasons. Ginn adds, “The Yokley Woods Edition
RZR XP suspension kit continues to be a game changer
in the GNCC series.”
It was also game on for the WORCS series in the
Arizona desert.Once again heat was a consideration,
so the SxS classes ran a night race at Speed World.
Despite the dusk, former ATV and Supermoto stand-out
Nic Granlund translated his skills to the SxS
side, becoming a leading light for DragonFire
in the process. In only his third UTV race ever,
Big Nic won the SxS Production 850 class at the
fast Speed World track. This vaulted the Las Vegasbased
racer into 4th in the overall standings, still
in easy striking distance of the WORCS championship.
“DragonFire is happy to help Nic make the
transition to the SxS scene a success,”
says Ginn. According to Ginn,
Granlund’s skills on an ATV and Supermoto
bike give him a great advantage when it comes
to reading the terrain,
and it is the DragonFire components that really
heat things up! “Nic’s racer features
the full array of DragonFire
Racing accessories, starting with our DragonSkin
number plates/personal I.D. system and ranging
through the
quick-release steering wheel kit. Performance
advantages include DragonFire’s PyroPak
Fuel Controller and Auto-
Tune, High pressure radiator cap, clutch kit/drive
belt and RZR full exhaust system.”
The next WORCS race will be May 11th at Race Town
395 in Adelanto, California. The next GNCC SxS
race will
be the Mountaineer Run in Masontown, West Virginia,
on May 26. Want to build a vehicle tough enough
