Minneapolis, March 4, 2009 – The RANGER RZR added a few more notches to its belt taking first and second in the King of the Hammers Side-by-Side race and topping the UTV Class at WORCS Round 2, in Adelanto, Calif. The Side-by-Side continues to show its versatility and durability in any racing terrain.

Mitch Guthrie took the King of the Hammers Side-by-Side race, at Johnson Valley OHV Area, in his modified RANGER RZR with Polaris Racers, Jagged X, taking second. The King of the Hammers was a 48-mile race that combined the technical aspects of rock crawling with the challenges of desert racing.

Mark Holz and his RANGER RZR got the holeshot and never looked back winning WORCS Round 2, at Race Town 395 raceway, in Adelanto, Calif. The RANGER RZR ate up the course, which was a combination of motocross and desert, showing it can conquer anything thrown at it.  WORCS Defending Side-by-Side champion Doug Eichner, took third overall with his RANGER RZR S. The next WORCS UTV race is March 27-29, in Lake Havasu, Arizona.
