Design's Beau Baron Wins 2011 Adelanto GP |
Fallbrook, CA (2/21/2011) - Beau
Baron wins the iconic Adelanto GP in the ATV Expert
Class. Roll Design dominates Adelanto GP with 4
Top 5 finishes. Racetown 395, in collaboration with
Off Road Sports, announced in late December it would
take over the 30-year motorsport event, after the
former organizers last year said they could no longer
run the race amid budget issues. However, after
an agreement with the city of Adelanto the race
was back on for 2011. Off Road Sports, LLC management
set out to put more structure and safety built into
the Adelanto GP racing. The goal make the event
fun for everyone while preserving the overall feel
of races past, FAST and FUN.
Saturday would host the motorcycles finishing
up during the Sunday morning races, where Sunday
afternoon hosted the ATV’s and UTV’s.
The ATV Expert field had a very familiar feel,
as many of the WORCS regulars were present for
the afternoon’s race with 14 entries on
the start.
Beau Baron, Roll Design/Elka/MCR rider fresh
off his win from the Taft Big 6 in the ATV Expert
class entered the Expert ATV class, as well as
running his dirtbike in the 30+ class in Saturday’s
race. Saturday’s race would give Beau an
advantage over the rest of the field giving him
a look at the rough sandy rutted conditions the
desert landscape of Adelanto, CA would create
for the off-road racing sections of the course.

Haagsma (pictured left) & teammate Jarrod
McClure (pictured right) had quite a battle
for 3rd place. Jarrod McClure would take
the last spot on the podium with teammate
and 2009 WORCS champion Beau Baron. |
“Saturday’s dirtbike race was kind
of uneventful, I got the holeshot and that was
the end of that.” – Beau exclaimed
after his win in the 30+ Dirtbike Class.
The ATV Expert race on Sunday included many of
the WORCS series racers. Beau would be joined
by his Roll Design/Elka/MCR teammate Davi Haagsma,
who would take the early lead getting the holeshot
for the iconic Adelanto GP. Beau would waste no
time getting around his teammate, passing him
quickly within the first few turns.
Can-Am’s Jeremie Warnia, winner of the
WORCS round #1, displayed the horsepower of the
DS450 passing both Haagsma and Baron in a straight
away during the early part of the race. Warnia’s
lead was short lived, as he came up short on the
pond jump, landing in the water, handing the lead
back to Baron. Baron got in and out of the pits
smoothly keeping his lead giving him the win for
the 2011 Adelanto GP. “ I took the lead
back and just kept charging to get as far away
from Warnia as I could”- Beau Baron Roll
Design/Elka/MCR Teammate Davi Haagsma made a strategic
decision to not pit as an intense battle erupted
with east coast’s Jarrod McClure Roll Design/Yokley/Costal
Racing.
The decision did not play out as expected and
McClure would finish on the box in the 3rd position.
Haagsma settled for fourth followed by Mike Cafro,
Roll Design/Elka/MCR teammate in the fifth spot.
