Suwanee, GA (2/13/2013) - Team Maxxis / H&M’s Beau Baron won both the Pro ATV and Pro Production Side x Side races at the second round of WORCS. Teammate David Haagsma won the Production 700 Side x Side class at the race, held February 8-10 in Primm, Nevada.

Baron praised the performance of his Maxxis tires in the Pro race: “The tires were awesome. I flailed on the start, but after that I was making passes on the hard slick, just sliding and catching traction. And the whole time other guys were just spinning all the way down the straightaways.” Baron gained the lead in the fifth lap and won by a margin of 45 seconds, with Haagsma in fourth place. Baron and Haagsma are first and second in the overall Pro points race.

Due to mechanical difficulties, the Pro Side x Side race was more challenging for Baron, but he still crossed the finish line first. “I pulled a pretty sizable lead right off the bat, and all of a sudden, my car went ‘crunch,’ and I knew it was a sway bar because the car started leaning really bad, so I started backing it off because I didn’t want to break my car,” he said. “Then like three fourths of the way through, everyone starts pointing at their wrist like ‘time, time, time, someone’s going to beat you on time, not physically, but on time’ because they started on different rows. So I picked it up again, and I ended up making it to the finish line with some hanging pieces off of it. We’re two for two!”

Baron rode Maxxis Vipr tires for the Pro Side x Side race, as did fellow Maxxis rider and second-place finisher Ryan Piplic. The two are also first and second in class point standings. Haagsma chose Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tires to take him to victory in the Production 700 Side x Side class.

Maxxis congratulates Beau Baron and David Haagsma on their victories and thanks them for choosing the brand of champions.

Riding through thick mud for the entire race, Haagsma took the lead with a pass at the end of the 13th lap. He held the front spot through to the finish line, and took first place with a seven-second margin of victory. Baron, who sparred with another rider for the third place spot for much of the event, scored the fastest Pro lap time of the race at 6:29.113 minutes. Both Haagsma and Baron trusted Razr Xc rears and Razr2 fronts for Round 1, and the tires were more than a match for the sloppy conditions. “It rained a lot,” said Haagsma. “We had a mud race, and I had a horrible start, but my tires got me all the way back up to the front, and I took first!”

The Pro contest wasn’t Baron’s only shot at a Round 1 podium: he also took first place in the Side x Side Pro Production race on 27” Vipr tires. In the Pro Am ATV class, Maxxis rider Grant Mitchell took second place.

Maxxis congratulates David Haagsma and Beau Baron on their victories, and thanks them for their outstanding performances.
