Once
Again, a large crowd of UTV racers showed
up for the Glen Helen WORCS races on Saturday |
With hot conditions and temperatures in the 100s,
the weekend was tough for both man and machine.
Anderson, however, in what will be his last WORCS
race of the season, finished off 2016 on a high
note.
Since RJ Anderson is only running a part-time
WORCS effort, he started well back in the Pro
Unlimited race because starting positions are
set by points. Anderson drove through the field
to record his first Unlimited Class win. Cody
Bradbury finished second, followed by Beau Baron
and Ryan Holz. Ryan Piplic’s fifth-place finish
allowed him to clinch the Pro Unlimited UTV Championship
with one race left.

“My whole mentality out here today was to win
or wad,” said Anderson. “I’m pretty stoked to
have my first win in Pro Unlimited. This is my
last race of the year. I won’t be able to make
it to the last one so I’m glad to go out on top.
That was one two three four for Polaris RZR, Walker
Evans and Holz Racing. I have to thank those guys
a ton. I have so much fun at these races.”

Win to kick off the UTV racing action on

RJ Anderson took a tough line late in the race
to take the lead from Baron. The perilous move
paid off with the victory.

“I was second off the start and coming into this
gnarly sand wash, Beau went high to stay out of
the rocks and it was go time for me,” said Anderson.
“So I just launched into the rocks, smashed a
rock and smashed a whoops. I was just able to
hold him off. It was a risky move, but the BF
Goodrich Tires are so tough. I got caught at the
end in lapped traffic, so I’m glad I was able
to bring home the win.”
Cody Bradbury hit a jump hard and nursed a mechanical
issue to finish second. It marked his second podium
of the season, including a win in round six.
“I got around RJ and got into second behind Beau,
but I hit a big bump and it blew the front diff
out and popped it into neutral, so Beau and RJ
got by me,” said Bradbury. “Beau and RJ were driving
great. They checked out on me and I had nothing
for them. At the very end, I got Beau on the last
turn. This is good for me after the weekend I
had in the last race. I’m glad to be back on the
box.”
