DragonFire Racing / Elka Suspension Mint 400 Can-Am Maverick
Elka Suspension Added to DragonFire Racing Can-Am Maverick
Chandler, AZ (3/7/2014) - In off-road
racing, suspension is everything! Team
DragonFire is proud to announce that the
shocking pink trim of 2X Sportsman UTV Champ
Lacrecia Beurrier's Best in the Desert Pro
1000 UTV racer has been complemented by bright
red Stage 5 shocks from Elka Suspension. The
Team DragonFire/RideNow/Can-Am Maverick is now
ready to tackle the toughest terrain in North
America at the infamous Mint 400. Suspension
was the missing link as Lacrecia looks for a
third victory at The Mint 400… problem solved!
"We are getting down to the wire here with
this race car," admits Lacrecia. "But we have
our Stage 5 Elka shocks all dialed in and
ready to go. I couldn't be happier… They are
sweet!" In keeping with Elka's pro-level
concept for everyone, pre-load, high- and low-
speed compression and rebound adjustment
clickers are built into the body of the shock,
enabling anyone to set-up their suspension to
suit their specific driving style and type of
terrain — even The Mint 400!
When asked about the new Elka shocks crew
chief Eric Beurrier made a rare cameo, saying
simply, "Look at them! They speak for
themselves." Well said, Eric. Seriously
though, a bare bones sneak peek at the new
shocks in place has been leaked here:
“It shouldn’t be a surprise that we teamed up
with Elka,” says DragonFire marketing guy-
turned Mint 400 co-driver Chris Moore. “The
real shock is why we took so long.” Moore says
the Stage 5 shocks were well worth the wait.
“They are fully adjustable and designed to
deliver superior performance.” Working in
conjunction with ITP's massive 30 x 10 Ultra
Cross tires, the Elka shocks should provide
great ground clearance. Better yet, the built-
in oversized reservoirs help dissipate heat,
greatly reducing shock fade during the 400
mile torture test!
"Make sure you come by the Can-Am display on
contingency row on Fremont Street to see this
car live and in person at The Mint," says
Lacrecia.
Elka Suspension joins a growing list of
sponsors for Lacrecia's Pro 1000 BITD
campaign, including DragonFire, RideNow, Can-
Am, Bell, CP-Carillo, ITP, Mothers, Rockstar
Customs and Royal Purple. Learn more about the The Mint 400 by clicking the link.
About Lacrecia Beurrier
This two-time Mint 400 winner races for a reason — she is out to honor the survival, determination and compassion of those fighting breast cancer.
The pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness is not something Lacrecia just slapped on the car last October during Breast Cancer Awareness
Month. “Racing to support the cure is where it all started for me,” she says. “My first race in my old Rhino was a charity event to raise money for
the program.”
Lacrecia quickly went from charity events and powderpuff racing to the real deal, competing in what is billed as America’s toughest
off-road race, the Mint 400! Not only did she finish the race, she won the Sportsman UTV class first time out and then came back to successfully
defend her title… proudly running the ribbon and pink trim for both her Mint 400 wins. She is a true champion, on and off track — when she is not
ripping it up on the race course, Lacrecia’s “real” job is a registered nurse in Lake Havasu, Arizona. DragonFire, Can-Am and RideNow are honored to
have teamed up with Lacrecia’s Rockstar Custom Motorsports effort this season. See http://rockstarcustomz.com for details on Lacrecia Beurrier’s
