Cody Bradbury Clinches SxS
World Finals Overall Win
::Continued::
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.

Maxxis'
David Haagsma grabbed the holeshot on Saturday,
but he was out powered by the Turbos &
dropped back to a 3rd place finish |
“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.

Maxxis'
Ryan Piplic charged his way into the lead
to take the win on Saturday in the Pro Production
Class |
“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 |
