With new record high temperatures, SxS racers faced dry and dusty conditions in the off-road and some high flying jumps on the motocross track. Twenty Pro SxS drivers took to the starting gate and only eleven were able to finish all five laps.

RJ Anderson had a lot of momentum and excitement built into him as he took to the gate at Honolulu Hills; Anderson won round four and was looking for a repeat in his Holz Racing backed Polaris RZR 900XP. Anderson grabbed the holeshot and took command of the brutal track. He led all five laps and crossed the finish just a hare in front of his Holz Racing teammate, Beau Baron.

"Today's track was brutal. I got a ton of traction off the line with my GBC Tires and nailed the all-important holeshot. My RZR was running great; Holz built cars are flawless and Beau (Baron) and I proved that today. He was right behind me all day, we had an awesome battle. I am super stoked to get another win and couldn't be happier with my RZR, my set up and my team,” regarded Anderson of his race.

Beau Baron put his H&M Motorsports / Maxxis Tires Polaris RZR 900 XP in the front mix of the race for all five laps. Baron was in second off the line and quickly paired up with Anderson as the two charged away from the rest of the class. Baron battled with Anderson for the entire race, but was unable to make a pass stick. He crossed the finish line in second, just 01.042 behind Anderson. Baron currently holds the points lead in the SxS Pro Production Class.
