All our motorcycles, quads, PWCs, scooters, etc are delivered throughout the year by truck. Most of the side-by-sides are in crates, but the Polaris Rangers and RZRs are driveable and come in a double decker semi.
First get the ramps off the side of the trailer. Then get the uprights out of the back. Poor driver has to work bent over when inside the trailer.
Halfway there. Such a labor intensive process just for 1 RZR.
The drivers do this at every stop, up to 5 times a day. Tough way to make a living.
Mike and his extended family were in recently to purchase two Polaris side-by-sides - also known as UTVs or utility vehicles.
Mike and
his sister started riding dirt bikes as kids, racing around from one friend's
house to another. Eventually they switched over to quads and then added
side-by-sides. They also played around on personal watercraft for many
years.
He's
purchased a lot of units from TMS over the years, the latest being a Polaris RZR Jagged X
for himself and a RZR XP 900 for his sister in the middle of May. At home in
the garage are a Yamaha Raptor 700, a
Raptor 660, a Banshee 350, and a CRF450. Jerry is his salesman and they go
way back to when Mike bought his first PWC from Jerry back in 1998.
Mike's
favorite places to ride are Pismo Beach, and in Nevada at Walker River because both
places are quad and kid friendly. The lack of rules in Nevada is a real plus
in his opinion, allowing him to use both red and green sticker units year
round.
Mike
and his family love off road riding because it's something all ages can enjoy, it's outdoors in the fresh air, and once you make
the initial purchases, it's pretty economical to take off for a weekend of
riding. Mike's a Tracy Motorsports fan because the employees are a friendly
bunch and he gets decent deals on units and parts.
WORCS kicked off their first "Super Event" in Primm, Nevada this month for round 2. The super events consist of dirt bike, quad, and side by side racing all in the same weekend. WORCS will bring in everything from bands, all the way to freestyle shows.
Heading into the weekend, the winter chill caused it to snow. Fortunately the snow melted away by Saturday morning. As the sun began to appear over the horizon, the beautiful scenery of snowy mountaintops surrounded the track. Before the SxS parade lap, the SxS's lined up for a picture with a US Air Force fly-by in the background. There was an incredible turnout of 64 SxS entries.
As the day began to wind down on Saturday, the Pro SxS class lined up for the last race of the day. The SxS Pro class is a new edition for 2013. Like the Pro ATV and MC classes, there is a Pro Purse for the winner.
Beau Baron taking the holeshot
Beau Baron took the holeshot in his Polaris RZR. Racing on this punishing track, Beau Baron broke a sway bar on his second lap. As the time went on, he knew he had to step on it or he could be beat on adjusted time. After the race, Baron commented on the grueling race. He stated, “I had to back it down so I wouldn't break my RZR, but a few laps from the end everyone was pointing at their wrists letting me know that someone could beat me on time adjustment. As soon as I knew that, I pinned it. The second to last lap, I went pretty fast and the last lap I gave it everything I had.” Beau Baron took the win with reigning SxS champion Ryan Piplic and Josh Frederick rounding out the podium.
As Sunday morning came along, racers were getting ready for the Pro MC, Pro 2 MC, and the Pro 2 MC Lights race. The Pro and Pro 2 class were combined for the start. Pro 2’s Precision Concept’s Tyler Renshaw grabbed the holeshot. Bell took charge and moved into first early in the race. He extended his lead and secured his first WORCS Pro class win. He then became the points leader with a 47 point gap. On the eleventh lap, Justin Jones made the pass on Ryan Abbatoye to take over the final podium position for the Pro class.
On Sunday afternoon, the Pro and Pro-Am ATV Riders began lining up on the starting line for the last race of the weekend. Being the last race of the weekend, the track would be a physical and demanding.
Dustin Nelson jumped off the line and grabbed the holeshot with his team mate Josh Row behind him. Nelson led for the first three laps then he caught his foot on his peg and twisted his knee. Nelson dropped back in the pack.
David Haagsma then took over the lead with Row behind him. Josh Frederick and Beau Baron took turns passing each other. They both passed Josh Row later on in the race as David Haagsma dropped back due to fatigue.
Beau Baron finished the race in first with Josh Frederick and Josh Row rounding out the podium. Beau Baron had a great weekend winning both the Pro SxS and Pro ATV races.
