#YamahaQuad-xSeries

Glen Helen Raceway played host to the season opener of the Yamaha Quad-X Series this past weekend and GBC Motorsports was out in full force.

Last year, Dylan Dixon found seven podiums in ten rounds on the way to winning the 2012 Pro-Am title. Dixon has moved up to the highly competitive Pro 450 class for the 2013 season and finished 8-7 for the ninth overall spot in Round 1.

With a second place finish in this past weekend’s season finale, Dylan Dixon wrapped up the 2012 Yamaha Quad-X Pro-Am Championship.

After finishing second in the opening moto, Dixon pulled the second holeshot moto on his way to another second place finish aboard his GBC Bomb Squad MX tires. The second place overall marked his seventh podium appearance of the 10-round season.

In addition to the Quad-X Series, Dixon recently captured the Pro Quad Championship in the inaugural Dirt Series season and has also been seeing racing success in other series and events throughout the Southwest this year.

GBC Motorsports’ Dylan Dixon headed to Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, Calif. this past weekend for Round 6 and 7 of the Yamaha Quad-X Racing Series.

Dixon has been steadily building a solid 2012 racing season and his performances at Glen Helen have established him as one of the region’s most talented up-and-coming racers. In Saturday’s Pro-Am class, Dixon had 2-6 moto finishes, good enough for fourth overall. He fared even better on Sunday with a 2-3 moto finshes landed him on the podium in second overall in Round 7.

Dixon’s successful races are partly a result of his ability to lay down a quick start. He took the holeshot in the second moto on Saturday and was among the top 3 starters in all other motos thanks in part to his GBC Motorsports Bomb Squad MX tires.

If there’s one thing race fans don’t care for it’s the off-season. Fortunately, the 2012 Yamaha Quad-X Championship Series is back in action this weekend and STI Tire & Wheel has been named the title sponsor.

“Quad-X has been providing some of the best, most competitive ATV racing in the Southwest U.S. since 2003, and that reputation is sure to grow during this year’s 10-event schedule,” STI says in a release.

There’s a class for everyone, from Pee Wee/Youth and Amateur to 450 Production Pro-Am and Pro. UTV competitors can involved too in the SxS class. The whole family is being welcomed at several top-notch facilities. The 2012 Yamaha Quad-X Series Presented By STI heads into Glen Helen Raceway three times, as well as other professional tracks such as Cahuilla Creek, Comp Edge, The Ranch and SpeedWorld MX, which hosts Saturday night races.

Once again, STI will be providing valuable trackside support at each and every event.
