Landon
Hurst, Polaris 450MXR Outlaw
|
Minneapolis, MN (10/15/2008)
- Landon Hurst piloted his Outlaw 450MXR to
a second place Pro finish at the famous Pismo
Beach Race, at Oceano Dunes, in Pismo Beach,
Calif., on October 12. Endurance riding in the
sand, which gets rougher and rougher and more
whooped-out during the race, puts both the rider
and the machine through a work out during this
two-hour event.

Hurst pulled the holeshot on his 2008 Outlaw
450MXR, and with a roost of sand, he was gone.
"My Outlaw was so strong in the rough sections,
the FOX suspension was dialed, and my B&B
Motor pulled hard through the power-robbing
sand," said Hurst. He continued his flawless
ride until lap number four, which he had to
pit for fuel. "I knew I had to stop for
fuel and didn't want to take the chance of running
dry, it was tough to watch my lead evaporate
while I was pitted."
With fuel in the tank, Hurst jumped at the
opportunity to gain the lead while the leader
was at fuel stop. Hurst led until the last
fuel stop where he swap spots with the leader
and finished a strong second.
Hurst will tackle the Competitive Edge MX
Park track, in Hesperia, Calif., for the ITP
QuadCross, on October 19.
