#BestInTheDesert

GBC Motorsports enjoyed a busy but exciting weekend with plenty of action from all around southern California and Nevada, including another round of FNL Fall ATV MX Series, the Pro Armor Fall Fun Ride, and the Best in the Desert Henderson 250.

As part of the FNL Fall ATV MX Series at Milestone MX Park in Riverside, Calif., GBC Motorsports is raffling off a set of their Bomb Squad MX tires at each round of the series. On Saturday, Dec. 3 at Round 3 of the series, Nick Walker became the most recent tire raffle winner. Victor of the 450 Intermediate class, Nick walked away with a brand new set of Bomb Squad MX tires from GBC Motorsports. The next and final round of the FNL Fall ATV MX Series at Milestone MX is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 17.

Matt Parks started the weekend seven points out of the lead in the Best In The Desert race series. He needed a win at the Bluewater Desert Challenge to remain in contention with only one more race on the schedule. The Challenge is a two-day event – three laps of the 25-mile desert course both Saturday and Sunday. Driving his “Baja Bobsled,” a custom 2-seat Polaris RZR 4 built by Holz Racing Products, Matt and his co-pilots, Jason Spiess (Saturday) and Mike Carr (Sunday), raced aggressively through the dust.

“The Kroyer built RZR 800 engine ran flawlessly both days,” says Matt. “It was really put to the test in the deep sand and silt.”

Parks finished second on Saturday, 1:35 behind the first-place UTV Pro – the Jagged X Ranger RZR XP 900. Like Saturday, the 15-UTV field started behind Jeep Speed and Baja Bug Classes. Jagged X had a strong start off the line and Parks chased him through the pack of Jeeps and Bugs that started ahead.
