Parker , AZ (10/16/2012) - Best in the Desert (BITD) Racing headed back to Parker, Arizona for the Bluewater Desert Challenge for the fourth round of SxS / UTV racing as the points battle heats up among the leaders. Cognito’s Justin Lambert scored the overall win with Can-Am’s Cory Sappington taking the second spot and Coastal Racing’s Mark Holz secured the final spot on the podium with the win on Sunday.
The BITD Bluewater Desert Challenge race was a two day race with SxS racers doing three laps on the 25 mile long course on Saturday and again on Sunday with the combined times determining the overall winner, and despite the SxS race going out first on Saturday at 6:15AM, the track was already in rough shape from previous events in Parker, AZ, which meant for a brutal two hours of racing.

Coastal Racing's Mark Holz piloted their #1934 Polaris RZR XP 900 SxS / UTV to third overall at the Best in the Desert Bluewater in Parker, AZ |
Coastal Racing’s Mark Holz charged their way into the lead, but in the second lap, they snapped a rear end cv joint, and instead of pitting for repairs they tried to drive through it, and unfortunately, in the final lap, they snapped the other side, which forced them to drive the final mile of the race in reverse, which dropped them back to a sixth place finish and well out of the lead.
