Cody Rahders took the opportunity at the Lucas Oil Regional Series Round 6 to debut his 2016 Polaris RZR XP Turbo and race it to a 2nd place finish in the Unlimited UTV class

K&N Filters sponsored UTV Racer Cody Rahders won the Lucas Oil Regional Series Round 6 Production 1000 class & took over the points lead heading into the final round of 2015. Cody Rahders also took this opportunity to debut his 2016 Polaris RZR XP Turbo and race it to a 2nd place in the Unlimited UTV class.

Cody Rahders qualified second in the Production 1000 class behind the wheel of his K&N powered Polaris RZR. With the inverted start he sat on the pole, immediately jumping out front to lead laps one through ten. On lap eleven the 2nd place car came into turn 4 hot getting under Cody and taking over the lead. This was short lived as Cody used the exact same move in turn 4 the following lap to retake the lead and the win.

On track again for the Unlimited UTV class Cody Rahders qualified third and lined up in the 2nd row in his brand new 2016 Polaris RZR XP Turbo. When the green flag waived, Cody immediately pulled into 2nd and took the lead by lap three. Cody Rahders' time out front was short lived when he began to have possible fuel issues. By lap 4 Cody began to slow and was passed by 1st through 4th place. Fortunately, the car recovered and Cody was able to move back up to 2nd where he would finish out the race.

After the Unlimited UTV race Cody Rahders said, “Except for a Sparks Racing exhaust pipe and a K&N air filter this car is bone stock, I didn’t even take out the passenger seat. The motor is fast and pulls super hard but the suspension is setup for play in the desert, not short course racing. I wanted to see if I could win with it. Instead of topping off the fuel we ran a half tank and I think it was pulling air into the fuel system through the 'un-rhythm' section. I changed my driving style to make up for it and finished it out in 2nd place. We learned a lot, if we took the time to develop a short course setup nothing would be able to touch the (2016 Polaris RZR XP) Turbo.”

Cody Rahders Racing would like to thank his sponsors, like K&N filters, for their support. Cody's next race will be at Hay Days for rounds 3 & 4 of the Terracross Series in his Fox Shocks sponsored Polaris RZR XP 1000.
