Adelanto, CA (10/8/2017) – CST / ELKA’s Beau Baron put a final slammer on his dominant season in the Rocky Mountain ATV MC WORCS Series presented by Maxxis and Dirt Wheels series, winning his eighth race of the season at the Adelanto Stadium season finale. Baron, who had clinched his record sixth ATV title at the last race, was nearly perfect this season, finishing second in two races and winning the rest.
The event was held in and around the former baseball stadium near San Bernardino. The track was a mixture of motocross style jumps, deep sand whoops off road trails, and log sections, as well as a water crossing.
Baron started third on his Honda, taking second when Robbie Mitchell spun off the track on the first lap. He then took the lead for good when Mike Sloan struggled in the water crossing. Mitchell finished second, ahead of Felipe Velez Torres. Matthew Hancock and Sloan completed the top five.
“Mitchell was leading us down this fast straightaway, hit some braking bumps and just flew off of the track,” said Baron. “Sloan had enough time to brake and make the corner, so I followed him. He went through a water crossing with his bike wide open and drowned it. I rode right around him and it worked out.”
Baron also won the SXS Pro Stock title. It’s hard enough to score one championship in a season, but two? Baron just had it under control this year.
“It’s a big deal to get two championships in a season,” said Baron. “So much work goes into my SXS stuff and I haven’t been training like I should for my quad. But it’s working so we’ll keep plugging away and doing what we do.”
