Minneapolis, MN (2/28/2008) - The
Polaris/Lone Star/Eichner Racing team rolled
out of the Mesquite, NV WORCS with a win in
the "Rhino Mod" class and their second

With 12 side by side units on the starting
line, Racing Legend, Doug Eichner, once again,
gave a holeshot start in the "Rhino Mod"
class aboard his RANGER RZR. Eichner held
off the competition with his aggressive but
smart driving style. Eichner's co-pilot was,
George Fickett, his respected motor builder
from Yoshimura R&D of America Inc. who
claimed, "It was the most fun he has
ever had." Despite feeling under the
weather, Eichner gave a hard charge leading
the race from start to finish. Eichner's RANGER
RZR is equipped with FOX Racing Shox, Fullbore
Innovations body, MasterCraft seats and harnesses
with a red roll cage, arms and bumpers by
