Las Vegas, NV (3/3/2016) – History
shows that perfection is impossible. Beau Baron,
however, is doing his best to change that sentiment
as he won his third consecutive WORCS Pro ATV Race
at the South Point Casino. Baron came out atop an
intense battle with Robbie Mitchell to the secure
the win. Mitchell was second, ahead of Mike Sloan,
Dillon Zimmerman and Garrin Fuller.

The race venue was unique for WORCS. It was held
in the three horse arenas around the hotel and
casino, as well as the outside grounds. The short
course comprised three different types of dirt,
including a sand section, as well as an enduro-cross
section in the main arena with big jumps, tires
and logs. Race times were short for WORCS competition
at just 45 minutes. A capacity crowd was on-hand
to watch the Saturday night race.
CST's Beau Baron won the race, but had a battle
getting it. Mitchell got a tremendous jump at
the start with Fuller second. Baron came out mid-pack
at the start. On lap two, he took second and charged
behind Mitchell. They came together in the main
arena, and Mitchell was able to maintain the lead,
but Baron wasn’t about to give up and made the
pass stick on the next lap and then held the lead
until the end. He won by just over two seconds.

“Robbie was way out in front, but the track was
really clear with no traffic, so I put my head
down,” said Baron. “I punched it, and got right
behind him. We came into that left-hand corner,
and he pinched me into the log. He gassed it,
and ripped the hood off my bike. I could have
pushed him off his bike, but I was really in awe.
So I said: You know what dude? I’m going to run
you down.’ I put in a hard charge and I got him.
After that I never looked back.”

LMR's Robbie Mitchell is quickly etching his
name into WORCS history as the king of dead engine
starts. However, traffic held him just enough
to open the door for Baron. Though happy with
the podium finish, Mitchell wanted the victory.

“I made sure everything was perfect and the Lindsay
Machine Racing engine; it’s hard to beat it off
the line on dead-engine starts,” said Mitchell.
“I just kept getting stuck behind lapped traffic
and I lost the lead. I’m not too happy about that.
I just did whatever I could. I thought we were
both going to get stuck. It feels good, but I
wanted that win tonight. I’m gunning for Lake
Havasu.”
