Doug
Eichner kicked off the season with a win
in the Pro Production Class on the Polaris
Outlaw 450MXR because he won't be racing
the Outlaw 525 IRS this season because
of the new Pro 450cc rule |
Washington, UT (4/6/2008)
- I was looking through my WORCS papers from
Lake Havasu and came across this awesome bio
that Joan Eichner brought up to me right before
the Pro race on Sunday. After settling down
from Havasu and looking through this I decided
to do a write up and what a great champion we
have racing are series. Besides the fact that
he is one of the nicest guys in the pits, and
the fact that my wife Mindy was able to pick
up one of the coolest Christmas presents I have
ever received (a full framed autographed Doug
Eichner jersey w/ a signed photo of him and
I at last years banquet), I had to throw this
up. Doug Eichner has more Championships than
years I have been alive. He has the dedication,
talent and sheer drive to do what many of us
would have gave up a long time ago. Here are
some recent announcements followed by stats
of Doug’s career.
I was able to take 5 minutes out of my day
to check in with the 5x WORCS National Champion.
Jason:
Doug, What’s up busy man?
Doug: WOW- Good to hear
from you, uh actually welding away and
getting ready to head out to Stateline,
gonna try my hand at the ATV Supermoto
Challenge there holding at Buffalo Bills
this weekend.
Jason: Sweet, What do
you think?
Doug: Hopefully I‘ll
do well. I tend to attack all race disciplines,
so I think I’ve got a pretty good
shot.
Jason: Congratulations
on the Havasu win. Got to be stoked about
that and also looking forward to heading
home to Washington in two weeks.
Doug: Thanks a lot.
Yes- that was a good win to get in front
of the Polaris folks, I love the trees,
but not the rain up north, but we’ll
see.
Jason: Well I’ll
let you get back to work and good luck
this weekend.
Doug: Thanks Jason,
I‘ll see you in two weeks in Seattle.
