Don Higbee
Podiums on Polaris Sporstman 850 XP
Utility ATV
|
Minneapolis, MN (1/29/2009) - Don
Higbee, Owner of Karst Motorsports, a
Polaris dealership in Casper, Wyoming, hit the
podium at the first WORCS race of the year in
Phoenix, Ariz., on January 25.
Higbee was aboard a brand-new, off-the-showroom
floor Sportsman 850 XP
EPS in the "Utility Class." He led
the first 2.75 laps of the four-lap race and
then encountered minor technical difficulties
with his kill switch. Higbee finished three
seconds behind race winner and Karst Motorsports
Teammate Jason Miller.
"This was my first race aboard a Sportsman
850 XP. The power steering was amazing and
the fact that we took a stock model to a podium
finish the first time out is a testament to
the quality and performance of the Polaris
Sportsman," said Higbee. "This was
our first WORCS race and we were really impressed
by the WORCS staff, the track and everyone
associated with the event, it was a great
time. We look forward to running more WORCS
races and a few GNCCs this year."
