Adelanto, CA – With the end of the season fast approaching Round # 8 of the World Offroad Racing Championship Series rolled into Adelanto, California to Racetown 395 for the second to last round.
Racetown is synonymous with gnarly sand whoops that blow shocks and wear riders out. The motto for the weekend with most riders was “coming in hot”. The track crew was trying to stay ahead of the dust with excessive amounts of water but this in turn made for a slip and slide coming into corners.
Elka suspension is proud to sponsor the UTV Rally Raid from theSXSStore.com
The race will be held at Durhamtown plantation Union Point, GA. On November 12th, 2011
Winners will receive great gift certificate for Elka shock purchase from theSXSStore.com

From John Mitchell
“Winning the double this season has been fantastic and I couldn’t have asked for a better season. The 2011 quad has been utterly awesome to ride. With the Elka Factory shocks, I have so much confidence in my suspension and I don’t have to think about it. Out of the box, it’s near perfect and very easy to setup. By just adjusting the ride height for the rough tracks, I was able to get an edge over my competitors.
In the Scottish championships, I rode my three year old race YFZ450 with Elka Elite shocks and this quad has seen a lot of action! Even still, the quad and the shocks worked really well and is a testament to the durability of the Elka shocks. “
Dustin Nelson grew up in a family of desert enthusiasts and began racing motorcycles on the local motocross track at age six. That first race was all he needed to be addicted to motocross for the rest of his life. Nelson spent many years racing both the local races and amateur nationals, winning Loretta Lynn’s in 1993 riding the 85cc Stock class. Nelson turned pro at the end of 1994 just after his 17th birthday. Nelson’s AMA Supercross and National MX career lasted from 1996 to 2004, with his best SX finish being an 8th and best National MX finish being 12th.
