BITD UTV World Championship
ATV Race Report
::Continued::
CT Racing’s Cody Mitchell scored his second consecutive
runner-up finish and unofficially takes the points
lead going into the Vegas to Reno, which is the
third round of the four race season.
“The course was really fast,” said Mitchell.
“There is really only one section of whoops, so
it was hard to make up time. This should put us
in the points lead, which is a first for me. Hopefully
we can keep it going.”
Polaris’ Don Higbee unofficially moves to second
in points. He said he is going for broke at the
next BITD race.
“This might even put us second in points so we’ll
come out swinging at Vegas to Reno,” said Higbee.
“That’s where we’re putting all of our resources.
Our Polaris Scrambler 1000 was great. We have
over 8,000 race miles on this one, so we’re going
to build a new one for the next race.”
