Bonsall, CA (10/27/2011) - MCR Maxxis Tire’s Julie Russell continued to dominate the Women’s A class with her sixth win of the season and wrapped up the 2011 Women’s A championship a round early, giving her, her third WORCS championship, while teammate Beau Baron put in an impressive run in the Pro class, taking second on the Pro podium at round number eight of the 2011 WORCS series. Racetown 395 in Adelanto, CA was the hosting facility for this round of the 2011 WORCS series.

The track had been redesigned, but was a bit shorter than most of the courses on the circuit, but the shorter course seemed to agree with the team and it also allowed Julie Russell to claim victory and win her third Women’s A WORCS Championship. In the Women’s A class, MCR/Maxxis Tire’s Julie Russell, led from start to finish. Russell put in the fastest lap time of the race in lap two with a time of 11:01.062 and took the win by over five minutes.

Russell has dominated her class this season and was able to lock in the 2011 Women’s A WORCS championship. “We are really proud of Julie, especially since she wasn’t even going to race full time at the beginning of the season, but she put in the work and defended her championship,” stated team manager Mike Cafro.

MCR Maxxis Tire’s Beau Baron was looking incredibly fast and smooth as he grabbed the holeshot. In the second turn of the first lap, Baron fell back to second, but he wasn’t about to let the lead get away from him, and just before the end of the second lap, Baron took back the lead and began to pull away. Baron recorded the fastest lap time of the race in lap three with a time of 09:21.429, which was over five seconds faster than anyone else MCR / Maxxis’ #1w Julie Russell Wraps-Up the Women’s A Class Championship with her 6th win of the season Baron pulled a solid lead over the competition, but fell back to third when he had to stop for fuel. Baron’s stop was quick and he was able to get back in the number one spot, but with just two laps to go, lap traffic came into play. A lapper, who was in the way, slowed Barons’ progress and allowed the competition to close the gap. “I got stuck behind someone in this canyon area and I couldn’t get around him and Josh Frederick reeled me in,” Baron explained. Baron put in a valiant effort, but after getting crossed up in the sand whoops as he tried to pull away, he ended up falling back to second, where he would stay until reaching the checkered flag.

“I had been training really hard for this round and I really wanted to win, but I went out there and gave it everything I had, so I am still happy with how I finished. Speedworld is the final round and I am going to go out there and try to win the last one of the season,” said Baron.

Team manager, Mike Cafro, ran a solid race as he came from the back of the pack to take a respectable seventh place finish in the Pro class. David Haagsma, who has had a very consistent season and is currently ranked fifth in Pro points, was doing well in the top five of the first few laps, but Haagsma encountered a mechanical issue and was forced to call it a day after just four laps. The final round of the 2011 WORCS series will have the team heading to Speedworld In Surprise, AZ on November 11th – 13th, where Beau Baron is hoping for a win to end his season on a high note.
