Mickey Thomas Finshed 3rd Overall for
the Year

The track was created among the Imperial Sand
Dunes using sand and chain link fencing on the
faces of the jumps. The unique course was a test
of both man and machine, and unfortunately, many
of the Polaris RZRs, including Thomas’, suffered
overheating problems from sand clogging the radiators.
Thomas was contending for the lead in both races
before a plugged radiator ended his day.

Race Win

“It was a big sandbox, and they turned it into
a really fun track,” said Thomas. “I definitely
had a chance at the podium today. I was third
in the first race, my car overheated and shut
off. In the next round, I qualified through the
LCQ and started last row. I charged from the back,
but overheated again.”

Thomas finished out the 2015 Terracross Championship
with two podium finishes including the win at
the opening round, and he qualified for every
main event, which kept him in the running for
the championship and eventual top three overall
finish
“I’m pretty happy with the results,” said Thomas.
“To finish third in points behind RJ Anderson
and Jason Luburgh, I am in pretty good company.
I had a lot of problems this year, so to come
out third is pretty amazing.”
Thomas has big plans for 2016. He will compete
in both WORCS and TerraCross Championship once
again, and is also planning to run a Pro Lite
Truck in Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series series
as he continues to expand on his racing experience.
