Tires’ Beau Baron claimed his 7th Pro ATV
Win at the Glen Helen & clinched his
record setting 6th WORCS Pro ATV Championship |
The track was run in reverse from the last event
here and incorporated parts of the Glen Helen,
Lucas Oil and Rim circuits, as well as special
off-road sections. Weather was in the 90s with
breezy temperatures that helped keep the dust
to a minimum.
In the Pro ATV race, Baron took the holeshot
on the live engine start and ran a consistent
pace to the finish first in the one hour race
and clinch the title. The championship allowed
him to surpass the legendary Doug Eichner in total
number of WORCS Pro ATV championships.
“I’m stoked to get the championship done a round
early,” said Baron. “It takes a lot of the pressure
off. It’s nice to get it done a round early because
there will be a lot less stress at the last round.
The Sparks motor got me out to a good start, the
Elka Suspension worked great, and the CST Tires
with Tire Blocks were hooking up.”
In SXS Pro Stock, Baron continued his late-season
tear in his Polaris RZR. The second-place finish
allowed him to further extend the points lead
he took in June,
also at Glen Helen.

Tires’ Beau Baron second straight Podium
finish in Pro Stock SXS has extended his
points lead heading into the season finale |
“The biggest thing today was trying to keep my
points in line,” said Baron. “I’m going to play
the last round cool and win a championship. I
had a good finish and I added a lot to my points
lead. I have a decent lead going into the last
round. I just need to play it smart and make sure
my car is ready to race the whole time.”
Baron ran a new set of Elka shocks here. Developed
and tuned by Doug Roll with the help of Baron,
the shocks were perfect for the rough and racy
Glen Helen course. In addition, he ran a newly
developed set of CST Tires, which propelled him
to the podium.

Beau Baron has a 22 point lead heading into
the season finale in the Pro Stock SXS Class |
“I did some testing with Doug Roll in the off
season and the new Elka’s are working great,”
said Baron. “They keep the car flat in the corners
and they work well on the big bumps. We’re working
on a new carcass for the CST tires and they are
nice and light. The Sparks engine was awesome.
Curtis Sparks does the mapping and the exhaust
and this thing was flying. I couldn’t be happier.”
Baron will return to WORCS competition with an
eye on adding the SXS Pro Stock title to his Pro
ATV Championship as the series contests its season
finale October 6-8. The event is being held at
the Adelanto Stadium in Adelanto, CA.
