SR1 UTV Class
to be Part of the Lucas Oil Off Road Race Series
in 2010
Chandler, AZ (1/10/2010) -Weller
Racing is pleased to announce that the SR1 UTV
class will be a part of the Lucas Oil Off Road
Race Series in 2010 (www.lucasoiloffroad.com)!
The Lucas Oil Off Road Race Series stormed into
the arena of short course racing on the West Coast
in 2009, filling the gap left behind by the bankrupt
Championship Off Road Race Series (CORR). CORR
had given UTVs the spotlight for the first time
in a national level series, and LOORRS has swept
in and continued to include UTVs in their exciting
lineup, which also includes high horsepower trucks,
buggies and even trophy karts.
The SR1 UTV class will consist of highly modified
Yamaha Rhinos which are powered by 1000cc Yamaha
R1 street bike motors. This class was designed
to bring modified race Rhinos back onto the race
track, and was created to give each driver an
equal opportunity at the podium. The SR1 rules
are designed to keep each UTV as similar as possible,
making it a driver’s class rather than a
money or horsepower class.
“We have been talking with LOORRS for a
while now about adding this class to their UTV
lineup. We felt that the UTV classes needed a
jumpstart – something to make them even
more interesting for the fans, and really fun
and affordable for the drivers.” states
Corry Weller, of Weller Racing.
“Since the single cylinder Rhinos were
having a hard time staying competitive with the
v-twin powered Teryxs and RZRs, we wanted to come
up with an affordable way for the Rhinos to get
back out on the track again. The folks at LOORRS
feel that this class will be a great addition
to the UTV lineup, and we are thrilled that the
SR1s will be a part of such a professional, amazing
series this year!”
Look for more updates on this new and exciting
class for LOORRS in the near future!
