Tires’ Beau Baron Takes 2nd Place finishes
in both the Pro ATV & Pro SXS Races
at The Orleans Casino WORCS event |
The event was held on a special circuit created
inside The Orleans Arena and the surrounding parking
lots. The track featured varied terrain, comprising
pavement, hard-packed dirt, a log section, a sand
pit and even a motocross-style jump.
In the Pro ATV race, Baron ran down the leader
early in the race and was one of the few riders
able to double the motocross jump. He tried every
line and every trick to get the lead, but settled
for second. Baron had won every race prior to
this weekend and continues to be an odds-on favorite
for the ATV title this season.

Tires’ Beau Baron battled bumper to bumper
for the lead nearly the entire Pro ATV Race,
but wasn't able to make the pass for the
win |
“He had all of the lines dialed,” explained Baron.
“The only thing I could do that he couldn’t was
double the jump in the arena. But with him in
front of me, I couldn’t double it. On the last
lap or two, I bent my bumper on him and I couldn’t
get him to move. There was just nothing I could
do. He was solid to the finish, and my hat is
off to him.”
The track was significantly different than anything
else on the WORCS tour. Baron’s CST Tires worked
great on the pavement sections, as well as in
the dirt.
“The event is cool, but it was like coming into
the unknown,” said Baron. “The CST Tires are awesome.
The rears worked so well, especially. I couldn’t
see running anything else here, especially considering
the different surfaces. The Elka suspension worked
great and the Sparks Racing engine rips. It’s
got a lot of mid range and the bike just pulls.
I didn’t win today, but it still felt like a win
because I didn’t make any mistakes. I’m still
gaining a points lead.”
Baron survived a carnage-filled Pro SXS race
and recorded his first podium of the season in
the class. He held back at the start, let others
take themselves out and relied on his superior
traction to take the runner-up slot.

Beau Baron scored another podium finish
in the Pro SXS class in the 2nd spot |
“I tried driving it like a go-kart and get as
much traction as I could in the turns,” said Baron.
“My CST Tires were working great. They just had
so much traction. The chassis and the setup are
awesome. Mark Holz does a great job making these
cars bulletproof. Polaris makes a good car to
start with and Mark makes it even better.”
Baron is hitting his stride after a difficult
start to the SXS season. Despite that, he still
sits fifth in points and has a legitimate shot
at both the Pro and Pro Stock titles.
“Things didn’t turn out like I wanted to early
in the season, but I’m coming back,” said Baron.
“If I have a little bit of luck and some other
people don’t, I’ll be there for the championship.
There is no reason we can’t fight to the finish
and get both championships.”
Baron will be back in action as WORCS heads east
April 21-23 to Sand Hollow State Park in Hurricane,
UT.
