This was a great weekend for WORCS Racing with temps in the mid-seventies and a clear, beautiful sunny day for a really tight technical course. With numerous elevation changes, plenty of rocks, and a short terrain rhythm section that didn’t have any rhythm, the Honey Lake MX track proved to be a challenging course.

Beau Baron came off of the start in the third position following just behind Robbie Mitchell, but Mitchell landed on a rock, which bent his sprocket opening the door for Baron to move into the second spot and begin his charge of David Haagsma.

Baron was able to make the pass on Haagsma at the midway point of the race after Haagsma began to slow down from a right rear flat tire, but later in the race, Baron would also get a right rear flat tire as well, which forced him into the pits for a new tire.  After the tire change, he went on to capture his seventh straight victory of the season, which broke the record held by both Doug Eichner and Josh Frederick of six wins. This win put Baron in the lead by twenty-two points over Haagsma going into the season finale.

“The next one I am just going to be looking to get to the end. I want to at least finish half the laps, so I can wrap this one up,” mentioned Baron.
