RJ Anderson Does the Double
in his Polaris Ranger RZR
2010 Lucas Off Road Side-by-Side
short course Rounds 1 & 2
Minneapolis, MN (3/11/2010)
- The 2010 Lucas Off Road Side-by-Side
short course season kicked off with a bang this
past weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with
Polaris team driver RJ Anderson taking first
in Saturday’s Round 1. Anderson, had a
tight battle with the leader until the last
lap when the leader’s engine let go, letting
Anderson cruise to victory with a 19 second
margin over second place. Tyler Parks finished
third, also in a RANGER RZR.
“I had so much fun out there today,”
said Anderson. “This is the first time
we raced at this track and it took me a while
to determine the best lines, but by half way
mark I had it figured out.”
Sunday’s Round 2 started off with a soggy
track after heavy rain the night before. The
“Unlimited UTVs” were lined up along
with an experimental class that featured Side-by-Side’s
fitted with 150 horsepower motorcycle engines.
But despite stiff competition, the combination
of driving skill, Kroyer power and the RANGER
RZR’s four wheel drive allowed Anderson
to again take the top spot on the podium on
Sunday.
“With all of the rain we thought the track
was going to be really slippery, but my RANGER
RZR hooked up real well,” Anderson said.
Anderson also had the fastest lap on Sunday
with time of 1:18.83 and with his two victories
he takes a commanding lead in the championship.
The next rounds of the Lucas Off Road Racing
Series takes place at Speedworld Off Road Park,
in Surprise Arizona, on April 17 and 18.
Anderson is sponsored by Walker Evans Racing
Shocks, Polaris ORV, Kroyer Racing Engines,
South Point Casinos, Goodyear and Holz Racing
Products.
