Title Adds to Already-Impressive List of Racing Victories
(Minneapolis, MN, Oct. 4, 2002) — Even before rolling into Polaris dealers’ showrooms, the radical new Predator ATV appeared on the winner’s stand at the Wisconsin State Quad Championship as Daryl Rath of Hutchinson, Minnesota, piloted a Predator to a dominating victory on September 21.
The Predator was the talk of the Wisconsin championships as racers and fans looked forward to seeing it compete head to head against competitors’ proven race quads. They witnessed the Predator proving itself as the best all-around quad on the Tigerton (WI) Embarrass River ATV Park in the season’s biggest race.
In the championship final, the awesome power of the Predator’s new Polaris 500 DOHC engine put Rath in front from the start, and he led all the way to the checkered flag despite the best efforts of determined challengers.
Rath won $1,000 and the state championship trophy, while the Predator tallied another first-place finish in its brief but already remarkable racing career. Rath also won the Pro 4-Stroke class title on the Predator, winning both motos. Rath said the Predator was the talk of the Wisconsin championships.
“People didn’t know we were coming, so from the time we rolled into the pits, the trailer was pretty busy. There was quite a buzz about the Predator,” he said. “It has so much power that the other racers couldn’t believe we were running a stock motor. If I were them, I probably wouldn’t believe it, either, but we haven’t even had time to do any engine work, so it’s stock—and it’s fast.”
Rath has raced on the Predator at several Midwest events in the two months since the revolutionary sport quad was introduced. In that short time, he and the Predator have earned victories at the Brookston (MN) Motocross, in the Open and Pro classes at the Little Falls (MN) Motocross, in the Cross-Country Quad A class at the legendary Millville (MN) motocross track, and at the Wisconsin State Quad Championships.
The Predator impressed also huge crowds of motorsports enthusiasts at the Haydays snowmobile grass drags in Lino Lakes, MN, in early September. Rath rode the Predator on the wood chip-covered snocross exhibition track at Haydays, an event attended by approximately 45,000 people over two days.
Rath, 34, has been racing ATVs for 18 years, is a two-time national champion and has won numerous regional and district titles. He will compete on the Predator at several more events in the Midwest through the fall.
The Predator is a completely new sport quad that is so advanced, it helps you take your riding to the next level—and the level after that. The Predator has a revolutionary new Polaris-exclusive PRO™ Steering system with zero bump steer and premium Fox® shocks front and rear. The Predator delivers the ultimate combination of power, handling and suspension, providing what Polaris calls the Predator “Sweet Spot.”
Premium standard features on the Predator include equipment such as: Maxxis RAZR PR (Polaris Racing) tires, Douglas® aluminum rims with rolled edges for superior strength, an extremely strong chromoly rear axle, thick and durable polyethylene skid protection, and braided stainless steel brake lines. Purchased on the aftermarket, this equipment would be valued at approximately $2,000.
This bike is awesome.
