MCR's Beau Baron Takes The Win at WORCS Round 5

Beau Baron Takes First Place
MCR's Beau Baron worked his way center stage in the Pro class at WORCS round 5
Toutle, WA (6/11/2009) - Mike Cafro Racing’s Beau Baron smoked the competition this weekend at round five of the 2009 WORCS series to take over the Pro points lead, while newest team member Josh Row came on strong to finish in the top five.

Beau Baron was on a mission to take over the points lead as he flew off the line in third place and score the fastest lap time of the race in lap two with an astounding 11:51.4 lap time, and was using that speed to close in on the leaders. Baron’s speed earned him the lead in lap six and from that point on, Baron began to pull away, finishing in first place with a 25 second lead over second place. “I’m really happy to take the win and the points lead for the team. I’ve been working really hard this season and I really want that championship,” said Baron.

“I’m really proud of Beau, he did a great job out there today,” said Mike Cafro of his star rider.

Josh Row WORCS Round 5
MCR's Josh Row has been working hard and looks forward to a podium finish
Josh Row, who made his team MCR debut at round four, also had strong results at round five. Row was 6th off the line, just missing a first turn pile up that slowed team manager Mike Cafro. Row worked consistently and laid down some of his fastest lap times to date. Row’s speed and consistency allowed him to work his way through the tight trails take over the number four position in lap nine and hold that spot all the way to the checkered flag. Row’s strong finishes the last two rounds have bumped him up to seventh place in the Pro points race.

“Josh Row has been training really hard and has been getting better with every round so we are hoping to see him on the podium at the next race,” said Cafro.

Mike Cafro Injured

Mike Cafro, who is currently holding down the number ten spot in the points chase had a tough time of things this round and will probably be out for the next round. Cafro was making a charge through traffic when he hit a rough patch and jammed his wrist, which was the same one he injured in the past. The resulting fracture could have him sitting on the sidelines indefinitely. “I should be out of a cast by the next round, but I don’t think I will be able to ride yet,” said Cafro disappointedly.

Womens A Racer Julie Russell

Julie Russell held strong in the Women’s A class as she powered off the starting line in second place. Russell stayed consistent, despite the tough woods section, and would ride to a respectable second place finish almost two minutes ahead of her nearest competitor.

Team MCR will be training hard over the summer break as Baron will be defending his points lead against the impending return of Josh Frederick at round number six, which will have the team heading back to Washington state where Baron is hoping for his third win of the season.
