Team High Lifter-Polaris Racing Battles Adversity in Mississippi

The Members of Team High Lifter-Polaris Racing were not about to let the threat of hurricane Gustov keep them from racing as they made their way to the ATV Mudfest in Perkinston, Mississippi, just outside of Gulfport, for the Labor Day mud event. In its fifth year of hosting mudbogs, Red Creek Off Road Park had an average attendance of 3,000+ ATV enthusiasts. The event offered three days filled with ATV Barrel Races, Wheelie Contests, High Lifter Pro Series Racing Mud Bog Competitions and excellent ATV trail riding.

In the Bogger Class, team racer No. 8 Maggie Robertson finished in first place on her Polaris Sportsman 500. Making his racing debut as a member of Team High Lifter – Polaris Racing, No. 10, Blake Mann, finished in first place in the Pro Series “A” Class on his Polaris Sportsman 800. Team High Lifter – Polaris Racer No. 98 Alicia Gorman placed second in the Women’s Class while her husband, and recent addition to the team, No. 9 Josh Gorman placed second in the RUV Class in his Polaris RANGER RZR with team mate JW Otwell along for the ride in the passenger seat.

Team High Lifter-Polaris Racing will keep the winning streak going as they prepare for the final races of the season and look toward the coming year.
