Jacob Peter Finishes Third at Mesquite WORCS
Mesquite MX, Mesquite, NV (10/8/2018) – Absolute Motorsports’ Jacob Peter scored a third-place finish during the WORCS Series SXS Youth 250 Production race at Mesquite MX in Arizona. It marked the young racer’s sixth podium of the season in the competitive class.
The weekend marked the first SXS race at the motocross facility and the surrounding desert. Featuring some of the biggest air on the tour, Peter took a conservative approach to the jumps early in the event before going all out at the end.
“I was a little skeptical at first about hitting the big jumps, but I finally went out there and hit them,” said Peter. “That definitely cost me some time and had I hit them sooner, I would have caught up to them and contended for the win.”
Peter was impressed at how his Polaris RZR took the jumps. Though certainly not as powerful as the full-size adult machines, his RZR definitely flew during the race, showing how it’s the perfect machine for young riders. He appreciated his Carr One Fabrication suspension for allowing him to stick the landings.
“It’s crazy how these little RZR 170’s can fly through the air,” said Peter. “The Walker Evans shocks made for a soft landing every time.”
The off-road section ran along the Virgin River and the riverbed comprised deep soft sand. Peter relied on his GBC tires to pull him through and he didn’t get stuck once.
“The GBC tires were working great,” said Peter. “We had good grip and we were able to make it through. They really helped in the soft sand. They just ripped through the sand easily.”
One of his best moments was when he engineered a two-car pass late in the event. While the other two racers rolled a jump, Peter hammered it and executed a perfect pass in the process.
“They were going to roll that jump, so I just hit it and made the pass,” said Peter. “It was fun.”
Peter also competed on his quad and motorcycle during the weekend. The young iron man finished seventh in his motorcycle class. Going into the final race, he hopes to finish off the year with another victory.
“I’m hoping for a win at the next race,” said Peter. “We’ll see what happens.”
Look for Peter to net his second victory of the season in the SXS class as the WORCS series finishes out its 2018 November 2-4 at Buffalo Bill’s Casino in Primm, NV.
