PIAA-Sponsored WORCS
8-Hour ATV / UTV Endurance Race Fires Up this
Coming Weekend
PORTLAND, Ore. – PIAA Corporation, a leader
in Powersports lighting and accessories, has
again teamed up with the World Off-Road
Championship Racing Series (WORCS) to host this
weekend's 2nd Annual PIAA 8‑Hour UTV/ATV
Endurance Race. The event will take place this
coming Saturday, January 10, 2009 at Speedworld
Raceway in Surprise, Ariz.
"Last year's inaugural 8-hour race was a huge
success," Robertson said. "We proved to
the ATV, UTV and Powersports industry that PIAA
lighting products are indeed the best in the
world, proven everywhere from the Baja 1000 and
Daytona 24-Hour sports car race to the World
Rally circuit."
As the presenting sponsor, PIAA will be
providing financial support as well as offering
a contingency program that will encourage racers
to use PIAA halogen and HID lighting products.
The race starts at 4 p.m. and finishes at
midnight: having a PIAA-equipped vehicle will
once again be a distinct advantage.
"WORCS races are the ultimate test of man and
machine," explained WORCS owner Sean Reddish.
"Teaming up with PIAA, the industry leader in
power-sports lighting and putting on an UTV and
ATV endurance race was a home run."
Teams will race non-stop for eight hours
around a 7-mile loop that starts on the
Speedworld motocross circuit before heading out
into the Arizona desert. Separate overall
winners will be awarded in both UTV and ATV
divisions. For UTVs, racing classes
include Unlimited, Modified, Stock, and
Ironman/woman; for ATVs, classes will be Pro A,
B, and C; Women's Pro A and B; Veterans 30+;
Masters 40+; and Ironman/Woman.
PIAA's contingency awards should inspire all
competitors: Overall finishers will be
awarded $1000 for first, $500 for second, $250
for third. To be eligible, vehicles must
use PIAA HID or Halogen lamps and run PIAA
decals.
PIAA has also been offering racers the
opportunity to purchase PIAA lights at a special
discounted price. This offer has been available
