Continuing its winning ways in 2008, the RANGER RZR took all three podium spots at Best in the Desert’s (BITD) Epic Racing Products Parker 250 in Parker, Arizona, on January 5.
Of the 19 side by sides entered, three were RANGER RZRs and they dominated the class, leaving the fourth-place team in the dust, about 15 minutes behind.
The winning entry was from Mafia Industries, with Travis Peterson, age 26 of Escondido, California, and Joe Clark, 26, of Temecula, California, driving to victory. Their sponsors included Polaris, Mafia Ind., Team Polaris, ALBA, Dirtskins, Pro Armor, SRT Racelocks, JD Build and PRP ScalMaster.
Finishing second just two minutes behind was the Jagged X team of Brandon Schueler, 18, of Peoria, Arizona, and Blake Van De Loo, 40, of Glendale, Arizona. Their sponsors included Jagged X, Polaris, Cart Wheelin Magazine, Mountain States Contracting, CR Designs, OMF Performance, Jettrim Seats, DJ Safety, Vision X and MTA.
Taking third was the team of Jerome Vinagro, 34, and Rito Jauregui, 28, both of Peoria, Arizona. They were sponsored by Polaris, Action Compaction, Action Container, The Stripping Shop and Glendale Steel Supply.
All three RANGER RZRs had a flawless race from start to finish, and finished only five minutes apart. The Mafia Industries team won in 4:10:05, followed by the Jagged X RANGER RZR at 4:12:27 and the Vinagro-Jauregui entry in 4:15:35. The fourth-place team was 5 minutes behind the RANGER RZR parade to the podium.
“The RANGER RZR has picked up where it left off in 2007, “said Craig Scanlon, product line sales manager for the Polaris Side x Side Division. “We thank everyone supporting RANGER RZR racing and if this race is any indication of what’s ahead, it should be a great year.”
