Cedar City, UT (2/24/2017)
- Maxxis / Super ATV’s Ray Bulloch finished
second in the Pro Stock SXS WORCS off road
race at Honolulu Hills Raceway in Taft, CA
on Sunday. Bulloch’s son Skyler won the SXS
Youth 800 race in his Arctic Cat and Stockton
Bulloch was third in the SXS Youth 250 Production
race. Ray Bulloch finished 10th in the Pro
SXS race on Saturday.

Heavy rains inundated the track on Friday
and made for muddy racing conditions on Saturday.
On Sunday, the track came around and made
for a great event. Bulloch was quick out of
the chute at the start of the Pro race, but
like many competitors, the muddy racing surface
slowed his charge. While running second, Bulloch
experienced overheating problems due to a
mud-clogged radiator, and then he lost a belt.
“I ran second and knew I had to hold it together
with all of the carnage,” said Bulloch. “My
car started overheating and I was literally
reaching back with my hand to clear the radiator
off. I got it out of limp mode on a downhill.
Then I blew a belt on the next uphill. I ended
up 10th and, with all of the chaos, I was
happy. We’re going to tear that car down to
the frame and completely rebuild it for the
next race.”
The WORCS Pro Stock SXS race was a different
story. With the track dried out, Bulloch charged
hard as he paced the winner for most of the
race before finishing second, marking his
second podium in three races.

“We ran a good race,” said Bulloch. “The
top four guys were flat getting it. We were
pushing really hard. There were holes four
to six feet deep and we were just bombing
them. My Walker Evans shocks performed flawlessly.
My HCR arms held up great and my Super ATV
Rhino axles held together. The Maxxis tires
with Tireblocks were an awesome combination
again.”
Skyler Bulloch pulled off his second consecutive
victory in the SXS Youth 800 Production race.
Driving an Arctic Cat, he came out of a three-lap
battle with the lead and cruised to victory.

“I was on the very outside at the start and
I was worried about it, but I ended up pulling
second and I battled with the leader for a
good two or three laps,” said Bulloch. “I
passed him and he lost his brakes so I won
by a good bit. It was a really good race;
we were battling hard. We figured out a lot
of good stuff on the Arctic Cat and we haven’t
had anything break this year. My Maxxis Tires
with Tireblocks hooked up great.”
