Minneapolis, MN (5/29/2009) - The
Baja Iraty Quad Race, organized by Soule Quad
Passion, welcomed the best Enduro specialists
and saw the Outlaw 525 dominate the technical
Pyrenean trails, taking all three podium spots.
Nineteen-year-old Polaris Racer, Bastien
Paquereau, showed his racing intelligence
by winning his first main racing event. His
mentor, Thierry Chevrot, an Enduro master,
managed to keep his Second place even after
couple tire punctures. Third place belonged
to Christophe Paquereau on his private Outlaw
525. Betty Kraft, coming off her two consecutive
wins at Dakar and Rallye des Gazelles, took
fifth overall.
