Cody Rahders, currently 18, started racing both Motocross and BMX at the age of five competing in the highly race circuits of Southern California and even raced at the KTM Challenge at the 2003 San Diego Supercross. After a string of injuries, Rahders stepped away from racing MX to concentrate on recovery and baseball.


In 2007, at the age of 12, Rahders decided he wanted to start racing again. His mother said, “Ride all you want but race in a cage.” And with this, Rahders moved into UTV racing competing in events such as the Lake Elsinore GP and Soboba GP. His results were good enough where at the age of 13, he moved into short course off road racing full time competing in series such a M4SX, Monster Jam and any one off event he could find.


2009 was his break out year where at M4SX Rahders won Rounds 1 thru 7 of the Armature series clinching the title Armature early and turned Pro for Round 8.


2010 and 2011 Rahders converted his UTV to SR1 spec (R1 street bike powered UTV) and went to the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series where he had several wins and placed well both years.


In 2012, Rahders competed in three different series capturing titles in two of them, the 2012 WORCS Production 700 champion and the Lucas Oil Regional Series SuperLite Champion, and placed 6^th overall in LOORRS.


For 2013, Rahders will scale back and compete at both WORCS in a Polaris RZR 570 and LOORRS in a SuperLite Truck so he can concentrate on his studies to graduate from high school and continue on to collage.

Mark Holz, from Lynden, Washington is no stRANGERto winning with Polaris.

Along the way he has built cars for some of the top names in the industry including the Lucas Oil Off-Road championship winning unlimited RZRs of RJ Anderson, Matt Parks’ 2011 Best In The Desert Championship winning RZR-4 and Scott Kiger’s Coastal Drilling GNCC race team


Holz and his company Holz Racing Products is unique in the UTV racing world, not only does he build championship winning cars that compete in all the major series’ (WORCS, GNCC, BITD, Lucas, Dakar) he’s an accomplished driver capable of going out and mixing it up in any of those series


“I got my start racing sprint cars, where car setup was critical. I’ve always strived to build the strongest, lightest, most simple race vehicles we can build.” said Mark Holz.


Holz says it’s great to work with a vehicle that is so versatile. What they learn in one series is applied to the next build for other series’. Each has their own unique needs and being exposed to all the different race formats allows us to build great cars.

Yokley grew up in Tompkinsville, Kentucky and still lives there. He started riding at the age of nine and gained experience riding multiple brands and sizes over the years. During his  childhood, he enjoyed and respect­ed all types of riding and racing, but focused mostly on motocross.


At the age of fifteen, Yokley started running in GNCC events, and started desert racing at the age of eighteen in the Baja 1000. With a twenty-four year career under his belt, pro class for the last fourteen years, he made the decision to retire from full time racing in the XC1 Pro Class at the end of the 2009 season. This year, he’s am racing in the GNCC UTV Series, as well as focusing more on managing and building the Yokley Racing Team.


He’s been called a Pro Quad racing icon with the most tremendous fans of any Pro Rider. He’s been fortunate to be featured often in the media; ATV magazine publications, broadcast coverage of GNCC events, appearances on Moto World, The Outdoor Channel, GNCC TV, Versus, ATV Television, ESPN2 and ABC, along with various websites and magazines. Yokley has been featured on GNCC TV within select sponsors “Feature Product of the Week” segments, on GNCCcast.com giving video race recaps, and frequent articles and interviews on ATVriders.com.


An area of my career he’s really excited about is his work with spon­sors on product development. They are some of the most important companies serving the ATV and UTV industry. He helps sponsors as a performance tester of their products for both racing and recreational uses. Because racing has been a lifelong passion, Yokley’s experience gives him a unique insight about how a part or product performs un­der different terrain and weather conditions. This intuition allows him to give feedback to a manufacturer that is invaluable to engineering adjustments with extraordinary results in performance and safety.

RJ Anderson, short for Randy Anderson Jr. was born on February 17th, 1993 in Riverside, CA.  It is in Anderson’s pedigree to be successful at a young age. Father Randy Sr. became Walker Evans personal crew chief at the young age of 19 and has since gone on to becoming part owner of Walker Evans Racing.  Growing up surrounded by this much success and experience in racing has given Anderson a solid foundation for which to build his own racing career. 


Beginning his career racing go carts at age 11, Anderson transitioned into youth TrophyKarts where he would begin his off-road racing career. He quickly progressed into a UTV at age 15 and has remained a UTV competitor in numerous race series including the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series, M4SX, WORCS, and numerous Grand Prix events.  In 2011 at age 18, Anderson would claim his very first professional UTV Championship crown at the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series.  The same year Anderson moved into the ProLite and SuperLite divisions at in the Lucas and the TORC off road racing series. In his first full season behind the wheel of his V8 Pro-Lite Anderson claimed TORC Rookie of the Year honors as well as taking 2nd in points for the series class championship.  Anderson would cap off his year by bringing home a $10,000 check and the prestigious Lucas Oil Challenge Cup trophy in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series season finale.


In 2012, Anderson joined the Stronghold Motorsports organization alongside seven time supercross champion, Jeremy McGrath and action sports personality Cameron Steele. In addition to racing his ProLite in the Lucas series, Anderson also campaigned his Polaris RZR in the WORCS Series where he collected five wins among his seven podium finishes while finishing second in the year-long championship chase.


Dominating the ProLite division with five wins among his ten podium finishes over the course of the season, nineteen year old Anderson became the youngest professional champion in Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series history when he clinched the 2012 ProLite division championship with a fourteenth round victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.


During the off season Anderson enjoys spending time with his family and friends, staying in shape, and planning for the upcoming season both on and off the track while focused on his goal of becoming a champion in many classes of off-road racing.

Piplic grew up in Lynnwood, Washington and resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. He started riding dirt bikes and ATVs when he was 10 years old with his uncles. He mostly trail rode and went to the Oregon dunes religiously growing up with his family.

Piplic never did any racing until he moved to Phoenix to attend MMI. His first race was when he was 19 years old, at a local MX track, at the faiRGRounds.  He started with MX and arena cross racing, Piplic got into WORCS Racing in 2004 after he moved back to Washington. He moved up the ranks to become a pro quad racer in 2005 and primarily focused on WORCS. He continues to race multiple disciplines and still enjoys racing his dirt bike when he can at endurocross events, MX and WORCS races.

After multiple years of racing ATVs, he had a chance to try racing UTVs. After his first ride, the next week he decided to retire from ATV racing. Piplic started racing a Polaris RZR XP 900 mid-year at WORCS and realized he had found the best form of racing he had ever experienced.

Piplic has been fortunate to be part of off-road racing for the majority of his career and couldn’t be happier than racing UTVs. He started out racing his first season mid-year 2011 and worked his way up to 5^th in points by the end of the year. In his first full season of 2012, he earned the WORCS SXS 1000 championship and won the 2012 Fall Fuel Fest, in St. George Utah. UTVs have opened the door for Piplic’s career to shine and he couldn’t be more thankful!
