A big shout out goes to our very own Team DragonFire racer Ken Benson for winning round 5 of the WORCS at Race Town 395 in Adelanto, California. His competitors were certainly feeling the heat as Benson’s red hot lap times were on par with the best racers in the series, despite giving up 150cc displacement to the big bore Class 1 UTVs. Despite his relative inexperience, Ken has really figured out how to put the power down and run towards the front of Class 2 (850cc production class) all season. Although Ken has been fast all season, he has also been hard on his RZR, so DragonFire’s chief fabricator, Dustin Mayer, decided to tag along to see for himself the sort of torture Benson has been subjecting his Polaris to. Dustin designed a suspension system that can handle just about anything you throw at it, while also supporting Ken’s race effort. Between Dustin’s dynamic suspension and Benson’s blazing speed, Team DragonFire was able to pull off not only a class win, but turn lap times comparable to the 7th place Class 1 finisher Mark Holz. On behalf of DragonFire we want to say congratulations Ken, you earned this win and a spot on Team DragonFire for many races to come!

DragonFire’s Store-In-Store Program
Next time you are in Arizona, be sure to check out the new “Store-In-Store” displays that RideNow is putting into its dealerships. We have exhibited at countless trade shows and provided trackside support displays for years… and in the process have found that the best way to show your product to a customer is to have it right there in front of them! When you can see a product firsthand — or even better yet — see that product installed, it gives you much more confidence in spending your hard-earned cash. Fortunately, the RideNow folks share our passion for the UTV industry and were the very first to step-up and include the DragonFire Store-In-Store program.
The RideNow group elected to have two of their stores immediately outfitted with some of the coolest RZR XP’s DragonFire has ever built, combined with complete point of sale product displays to compliment these awesome machines. After putting up the displays at their Chandler and Peoria dealerships, they have been using them as a sales tool with great success. The sole intent is to show their customers exactly what they want and need.
RideNow shares our goal to continue to ignite our customers with the same passion we have for the sport, provide the best UTV products we possibly can, and as we say here at DragonFire…Feel the Heat!

DragonFire Welcomes High Flying Nic Granlund!
Fresh from sweeping the Pro SxS and UTV Sportsman classes at the legendary Mint 400 a couple weeks ago, DragonFire UTV teams were in action again this past weekend. National Guard/Polaris/DragonFire racer William Yokley whipped everyone at the Big Buck GNCC in South Carolina, while out West, we welcomed high flying Nic Granlund to the team as he won the WORCS round at Speed World MX in Surprise, Arizona.A former ATV and Supermoto stand-out, Big Nic is showing some skills on the SxS side these days. In only his third UTV race, Nic won the Production 850 class at the fast Speed World track here in DragonFire’s backyard. Despite missing the first round, the win puts Nic into 4th in the standings, and in contention for the WORCS championship.
Of course DragonFire is happy to help Nic make the transition to the SxS scene a success. Nic’s racer features the full array of DragonFire Racing accessories, starting with our DragonSkin number plates/personal I.D. system and ranging through the quick-release steering wheel kit. Performance advantages include DFR’s PyroPak Fuel Controller and Auto-Tune, high pressure radiator cap, clutch kit/drive belt and a full exhaust system.
Be sure to catch all the DragonFire-backed teams in action this season. The next WORCS race will be May 11that Race Town 395 in Adelanto, California. The next GNCC SxS race will be the Mountaineer Run in Masontown, West Virginia, on May 26.
