Maxxis / MCR's Beau
Baron Take Both Pro & WORC X Wins
Suzuki's Chris Borich &
Motowork's Josh Frederick Podium
McCleary, WA – There may
have been an east coast invasion at round number
seven of the 2010 WORCS series, but MCR/Maxxis
Tires’ Beau Baron was able to check out
and take the Pro ATV win, holding off Suzuki’s
Chris Borich who would take second while Can-Am
Motoworks’ Josh Frederick would find his
way to the podium in third after a heated battle
with Can-Am/Warnert Racing’s Adam McGill.
The thermostat was pushing the 90 degree mark
at Straddleline ORV Park in western Washington
State for Sunday’s main event, which along
with a brutally rough track, was a big contributor
to rider fatigue that plagued many racers over
the weekend.
The Washington round of the WORCS series has
become a popular destination for east coast GNCC
racers as it coincides perfectly with the GNCC
summer break; and this round was no exception
as Chris Borich, Adam McGill, Jarrod McClure,
and Johnny Gallagher were all on hand to help
make a full Pro gate.

Beau
Baron claimed the WORCS X Win on Friday
by leading the race from start to finish
with Dustin Nelson in chase for all 9 laps
finishing just 3 seconds behind Baron with
Josh Frederick taking third |
GNCC
Racer, Chris Borich, made his return to
WORCS racing and took on the WORCS X Challenge,
but a 4th lap wreck sent him back to 6th
place before working his way back up to
4th at the finish |
Despite the pressure of having some very stiff
competition, MCR/Maxxis Tire’s Beau Baron
would check out and take the Pro ATV win. As the
gate dropped, Baron charged off the line taking
second behind Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson, but
by the midway point of the first lap, Baron would
take the lead away from Nelson and begin to build
a very impressive gap between him and the rest
of the pack.

Maxxis'
#1 Beau Baron dominated the early laps &
set the fastest laptime of the race in lap
three with a time of 10:47.617, which extended
his lead to impressive 44 seconds &
Baron would go on to win with over a minute
to spare |
Baron was looking smooth and fast as he charged
his way through the brutal WORCS X section, and
he made it look easy as other riders would get
hung up on the obstacles. Baron’s excellent
choice of lines allowed him to record the fastest
lap time of the race, in lap three, with a time
of 10:47.617 and take the Pro win by over a minute
ahead of second place.
“One of the best parts of taking this win
was that I really wasn’t even that tired
when I was done. I’ve been working with
Marc Spataro, who set up a great training program
for me, and it has helped me a lot. Now I am really
looking forward to the last two rounds and I am
hoping to take back the points lead,” said
Baron, who is now only two points down in the
championship points race.

Baron's Win allowed him to close the points
gap on Josh Frederick to just 2 points with
two rounds of racing left on the schedule,
so the championship will surely come down
to the final round at Frederick's hometrack,
