Lynden, WA (8/2/2012) - The two
driver team of Beau Baron and Mark Holz traveled
halfway around the world, to Saint- Martin-en-Haut,
France to compete in the La Motor’s Courses
De Quad & SSV race held July 28 & 29th.
The team received a Polaris RZR XP Polaris France
that was prepped by Xtreme Plus to compete against
a tough field of RZR XPs, RZRs and Commanders.
In the end, the solid driving of Beau and Mark,
allowed them to gain a lap on the competition
and back down the pace to save the car and win
the overall.
“This event was awesome. The sport of
sidexside racing is really great right now. With
the WORCS series drawing big numbers, a successful
Best in The Desert series and international racing
going off, this is really exciting to see. ”
said Mark Holz.
This race was comprised of 4 sessions and 40
cars. The racing started with qualifying on a
track that was laid out on the rolling wheat fields
of the French countryside. With lap times averaging
4 minutes, there was always action on this tricky
off-camber track. Beau lead off in Saturday’s
first two-hour session and handed off the car
to Holz at the gas stop - and ended the session
in first place, lapping up to fourth place. Beau
took that momentum into the 1.5 hour night race
and put a lap on the field. Sunday the US Drivers
picked up where they left off and each drove a
smart, smooth race to finish on top of the box
with the win.
When the dust settled after the 6.5 hours of
racing, 17 of the 40 car field finished. Attrition
was a factor as the course littered with huge
holes and waist deep berms caused DNFs for the
teams that weren’t prepared. The mechanics
from Xtreme Plus, winners of the sxs class at
the 2012 Dakar Rally, prepped the RZR XP and provided
solid pit support all weekend contributing to
the win. Looking ahead, Holz and the Scott Kiger
Coastal/HRP RZR XP will compete at the Best in
