Mark Holz placed second at Washougal
MX WORCs Round 6 piloting his Can-Am Commander
UTV |
Lynden, WA (8/24/2011) - Holz Racing
competed in four classes at two events over the
weekend and enjoyed one first place finish, two
second place finishes and one third.
On Friday, pilot Matt Parks and copilot Mark
Holz were first off the starting line in UTV Pro
Class at this year’s Vegas to Reno race,
part of the Best in the Desert Off Road Racing
Series, billed as the longest off-road race in
the United States. The Parks Racing/Holz Racing
RZR 4 was in and out of the lead until mile 420
when heat and brutal terrain forced mechanical
issues and slowed the pace.
Despite two breaks and repairs, the team managed
a second place finish. “Finishing a 553
mile race through the triple digit heat of the
Nevada desert in August is an accomplishment in
itself” said Parks. “The fact that
we led most of the day and the team overcame some
issues late in the race to get second is gratifying.
We had a chance at the win, but second still feels
pretty good. My Holz-built RZR 4 was super fast
and was able to stay ahead of machines with 25%
more engine displacement.”
After finishing Vegas to Reno, Mark Holz flew
to Washougal, Washington to compete in the 6th
round of the World Off-Road Racing Championship
Series. After a long summer break, Holz was anxious
test the Holz Racing / Motoworks / Can-Am Commander
at the challenging Washougal MX Park. Mark grabbed
the holeshot at the start and clocked the race’s
fasted lap time of 09:18.083. He led much of the
race but fell to second on the last lap. “It
was an exciting race,” he said. “We
exchanged the lead a few times and I was looking
forward to a win, but I got hung up behind a lapper
and let it go.” Mark and his Commander took
second place in Side by Side Class 1, but still
finished more that 3 minutes ahead of the third
place UTV. He is in second place in Series Points
Standings.
