Jagged X Polaris
RZR XP 4 900 SxS

Minneapolis, MN (5/10/2012) - The
field for the Best in the Desert Silver State
was impressive, with more than 20 side-by-sides
staging to challenge this
300-mile, single loop race. Matt Parks drew
a very good fifth starting
position with Brandon Schueler starting just
behind in the eighth spot.
Bill Schueler and Craig Scanlon lined their
nearly-stock, 1991 RZR XP 4
sportsman entry at the very back of the field.
This year's course was very fast with lots
of smooth sections where top
speed was a true advantage. There were plenty
of rocky sections to keep
every driver on their toes. Schueler, in the
1919, was able to get off to a
good start and make his way to the front of
the pack early where he would
lead for a good part of the race. Parks also
was in the hunt and running
near the front but had a mechanical issue
which cost some valuable time. In
the end, Mark Holz in the Coastal/HRP RZR
XP 900 would take checkered flag
and Schueler would take a much-needed second
place. Parks and the 1932
finished in mid-pack in ninth position.
The 1991 sportsman entry, in their virtually
showroom stock RZR XP 4, raced
steady all day winning the sportsman class
easily, and finishing ninth
overall. This proves, once again, that the
RZR line up not only offers
durability but also the ultimate combination
of power, suspension and
agility.
The next Best in the Desert race is the Vegas
to Reno on August 18.
