#1 Beau Baron grabbed
another 1st place overall at the Straddleline
WORCS Race in Olympia, Washington for
Round 7
|
Bonsall, CA (7/29/2010) - MCR/Maxxis
Tires’ Beau Baron checked out on the competition
at round seven of the 2010 WORCS series to take
the Pro ATV win, while Pro-am teammate David Haagsma
took the Pro-am win and wrapped up the Pro-am
Championship two rounds early.
Track conditions were rough at Straddleline
ORV Park, located in McCleary, WA and a challenging
WORCS x section put even the best riders to
the test, but MCR/Maxxis Tires’ Beau Baron
had no trouble conquering the track and the
rest of the competition. Baron’s great
weekend started off with him taking the win
in Friday evening’s WORCS X race, and
his winning streak would continue from there.
In Sunday’s Pro main event, Baron shot
off the line in the number two spot behind Dustin
Nelson and at the midway point of the first
lap, Baron took over the lead and laid down
some incredibly fast lap times, recording the
fastest lap of the race in lap three with a
time of 10:47.617. Baron continued to push hard
for the entire race and when it was all said
and done, he would top the podium and close
in on the points lead.

to setting the fastest lap of the race
& taking the overall win for the day

“I felt really great out there and my
quad was running awesome. I got around Dustin
early in the race and just put the hammer down.
I wanted to get as much distance as I could
between me and everyone else,” said Baron,
who is now only two points off the championship
points lead.

#5 Josh Row currently
sits in the 3rd spot in the Pro Points
chase after taking home a great 6th
place finish at Straddleline
|
The ever-consistent Josh Row again put on a strong performance as he went head
to head with Pro GNCC racer Johnny Gallagher.
Row would battle Gallagher for several laps before
he was able to pull away and take a solid sixth
place finish. Row’s solid performances this
season have his sitting in the number three spot
in the Pro points chase.
Team Manager, Mike Cafro was looking good early
in the race, but would suffer an injury to his
wrist, which ended his race after just eight
laps. Luckily, his injury is not serious and
Cafro plans on racing again at round eight.
“I hurt my wrist and that made things
pretty tough for me. I didn’t want to
risk crashing or making it worse, so I just
pulled off,” Cafro explained.

In the Pro-am ranks, David Haagsma, who has
been the dominating force all season in his

the Pro-am win and wrapped up the Pro-am Championship

excited that David wrapped up the championship
like this. He did exactly what we wanted him

year is to get three number one plates, and
this is the first one of the season,”
said Mike Cafro.
