Adelanto, CA - Racetown 395 was the hosting facility for round seven of the Big 6 Grand Prix series, where several familiar faces in ATV racing showed up to get in some off season practice and testing. Team MCR, who regularly attends the WORCS series and features riders Mike Cafro, Levi Marana, Julie Russell and new for next year, Beau Baron took three of the top five positions in the Expert class, but it was Can-Am/Motoworks’ Jeremy Lawson who ran away with the win.

The course that was laid out was six miles of high-speed desert terrain with a one-mile motocross section thrown in the mix. “It was really a lot of just wide open riding. It was a lot of fun,” said Jeremy Lawson who had never raced a grand prix style race before.

As racers left the line for what would be a 45 minute race, it was local #1 pro, Robert Cockrell who took the holeshot, with Jeremy Lawson in second, ITP Quadcross Expert class champ, and David Haagsma in third, with Beau Baron and Mike Cafro hot on his heals. In the first lap, Jeremy Lawson was running strong, and wowing spectators, as he launched off the longest table top on the track and cleared it. “I hit that big table top out there the first lap and I’m not used to running big cross country tires, so I landed a little hard. After that I kind of backed off a bit,” said Lawson. Even with backing off, it didn’t take long for Lawson to take over the lead. Lawson went for the pass on Cockrell in the first lap and then proceeded to check out.
