Polaris Factory Racer Mitch Guthrie Jr. repeated his WORCS Round 3 success in Round 4 this past weekend taking both the SxS Pro and SxS Unlimited classes.

Mitch Jr grabbed the hole shot in his Unlimited Class 2014 RZR XP 1000 and pushed hard early in the race. The sandy sections in Havasu break down fast and the overall condition of the course was shot by lap 2. Mitch Jr figured if he put down a few fast laps he could build a decent lead early then ratchet it back just enough to save the car and preserve his lead. This strategy paid off with a dominating round 4 win.

“The Pro Race was absolutely insane.” Mitch Jr was able to get into 2nd off the start behind RJ. RJ had a small problem with his RZR and I got stuck behind him. Piplic, RJ and Mitch Jr all battled for about 1/2 a lap but in the end Mitch was able to get by both of them and get a lead. From there “I just tried to be calm, keep the car together and keep the lead. I knew I would be fine if I was smart and passed lappers cautiously (there were a lot of those). I was able to do that and come home with the win in the end!!”

The next WORCS race is in Hurricane, Utah, April 17-19.
