ITP's Branden Sims finished in the 6th overall & he will test his skills at GNCC Racing next weekend at Powerline Park in Ohio

“We had one issue on day one: we ran out of fuel,” said Sims. “The Turbo ran flawlessly on day two. The top speed is slower than my other car, but it gets there much quicker. It definitely makes a lot of difference on the sand washes and the hills. I was more than happy with the performance.”

Sims will be back in the drivers seat in just one more week at the Powerline Park GNCC in Ohio with him making his debut in the woods in a Bikeman Performance / Rotation Motorsports Polaris RZR. .

“I’ve never done it and I’ve never even seen it,” said Sims. “In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever raced in the trees. It’s cool when someone gives you a call and asks you be a part of a big team.”

Lacrecia Beurrier once again claimed the Unlimited UTV class win. She merely needs to take the start at the next race to clinch the 2015 BITD Championship.

Dragon Fire Racing’s Lacrecia Beurrier won the Unlimited UTV Class overall once again by taking the win both days

“We came all the way from the back and finished in the middle of the pack with all of the big boys, so I’m stoked,” said Beurrier. “We had a fuel rail break right at the finish on day one, so we had to walk up on the mesa. Today was flawless.”

The season finale for the Best in the Desert Series is scheduled for December 5 in Henderson, NV for the Henderson 250.
