Portland, OR (1/7/2009)
- PIAA Corporation, a leader in Powersports
lighting and accessories, has again teamed up
with the World Off-Road Championship Racing
Series (WORCS) to host this weekend’s
2nd Annual PIAA 8-Hour UTV/ATV Endurance Race.
The event will take place this coming Saturday,
January 10, 2009 at Speedworld Raceway in Surprise,
Ariz.
“Last year’s inaugural 8-hour race
was a huge success,” Robertson said. “We
proved to the ATV, UTV and Powersports industry
that PIAA lighting products are indeed the best
in the world, proven everywhere from the Baja
1000 and Daytona 24-Hour sports car race to
the World Rally circuit.”
As the presenting sponsor, PIAA will be providing
financial support as well as offering a contingency
program that will encourage racers to use PIAA
halogen and HID lighting products. The race
starts at 4 p.m. and finishes at midnight: having
a PIAA-equipped vehicle will once again be a
distinct advantage.
“WORCS races are the ultimate test of
man and machine,” explained WORCS owner
Sean Reddish. “Teaming up with PIAA, the
industry leader in power-sports lighting and
putting on an UTV and ATV endurance race was
a home run.”
Teams will race non-stop for eight hours around
a 7-mile loop that starts on the Speedworld
motocross circuit before heading out into the
Arizona desert. Separate overall winners will
be awarded in both UTV and ATV divisions. For
UTVs, racing classes include Unlimited, Modified,
Stock, and Ironman/woman; for ATVs, classes
will be Pro A, B, and C; Women’s Pro A
and B; Veterans 30+; Masters 40+; and Ironman/Woman.
PIAA’s contingency awards should inspire
all competitors: Overall finishers will be awarded
$1000 for first, $500 for second, $250 for third.
To be eligible, vehicles must use PIAA HID or
Halogen lamps and run PIAA decals.
PIAA has also been offering racers the opportunity
to purchase PIAA lights at a special discounted
price. This offer has been available for registered
racers ONLY; an official race registration number
is required. For details on this offer, as well
