2017 WORCS Racing Rounds 1 & 2 - Buffalo Bill's January 21-22, 2017 Primm, Nevada

In the short course race, Bradbury piloted his brand new Polaris into the lead just before a competition caution. Piplic outgunned him on the restart and took the lead, handing him second in that race.

GBC's Cody Bradbury overcame the rough conditions on Sunday to take the Pro Production Win, which clinched him the overall win

“I tried to run a smooth race and the new Walker Evans shocks I installed helped a lot today,” said Bradbury. “These shocks were designed with shorter shafts to work specifically with this type of short course. We were able to drive into the corners a little deeper and hold it a little longer. The first round always seems to be my Achilles heel. So it’s nice to have the points lead going into round two.”

Maxxis’ David Haagsma was running a non-turbo Polaris RZR in the race. After drawing a number one starting spot for the short course race, Baron held on for a third-place finish. He finished second in Sunday’s race. Though he had a consistent weekend, Haagsma’s naturally aspirated car was really no match for the turbos, a problem he plans to rectify before the next round.

“These 2017 Polaris RZR Turbos really out-powered my non-turbo,” explained Haagsma. “They were just gone. It was definitely a good run especially with the weather. We may have a car change before the next round. We may have a turbo.”

Sparks' David Haagsma rebounded on Sunday & finished 2nd, which boosted him to 2nd Overall in the Pro Production UTV Class

FOX’s Ryan Piplic finished third overall, but he had to work for it. He drew a second-to-last starting position for the short course race and drove through the field to finish first. In Sunday’s race, he was battling for the lead when drive belt problems moved him back to seventh at the finish. Though he had planned only to run Pro Stock this year, he put together a turbo car for this event.

“On the last lap, belt syndrome bit me,” said Piplic. “Cody was on another level today. I wanted to go one-two with him and try to battle for the win, but I had nothing for him today. I really enjoyed the format. I was skeptical at first, but to have the two-race format with all SXSs was nice. I was surprised how well I did in the short course race, coming from back to front to win. I’m happy with the weekend.”

Super ATV's Ryan Piplic was running in the 2nd spot until he snapped a belt in the final lap, which dropped him back to 3rd overall
