Straddleline ORV Park in Washington State, offered up new challenges for the SxS classes, where trees and tight technical trails meant passing could be difficult and a good start would be a crucial part to a good finish.

In the SxS Pro class, H&M Motorsports’ Beau Baron proved that to be very correct. Baron grabbed the holeshot and was holding down a good lead. “I knew the start was important and hammered it. Piplic was right there with me, but I just held it down and pulled him,” said Baron.

Baron began to pull away, but late in the race, lap traffic became an issue and allowed Ryan Piplic to close in during the final two laps.

“I hit lappers and Ryan caught up to me and that’s when it got interesting. I was terrified that he was going to take one of those option lanes and just come in and t-bone me because they are set up so that they put you right into the guy who is going straight,” Baron explained.

Baron was able to hold off Piplic’s advances and take home the SxS Pro win. “The Walker Evans suspension worked great out here. My Sparks motor had so much power and helped me get that holeshot. It was a really good race,” said Baron.
