Minneapolis, MN (11/10/2007) -
Polaris Factory Racer and ATV racing legend,
Doug Eichner, is no stranger to desert racing
as evidenced by his multiple Best in the Desert
Championship titles, SCORE Championship titles
and past winner of the prestigious Baja 1000.
In his desert debut aboard the Polaris Outlaw
525 IRS, Eichner partnered up with Pro rider
John Shafe taking a strong second in the Avi
150 U.S. Championship.
This was Shafe's first time aboard the Outlaw
IRS and together with Eichner proved the IRS
is a force to be reckoned with in yet another
terrain. The team led most of the 150 mile
race with a flawless performance from this
versatile machine.
Eichner was interested in testing the ability
of the IRS in the desert as he believes it
to have a promising future for title contention
in desert competition among others.
"The Outlaw 525 IRS ran strong and together
with the enhanced motor performance from Yoshimura
and aftermarket suspension set-up from FOX
Racing Shox, this bike is quickly becoming
my favorite machine," stated Eichner.
"We believe in the talents of John Shafe
and he did not disappoint us. This was Shafe's
first major desert competition and we are
pleased to have lead most of the race and
were not far off the pace of the first place
seasoned desert team."
With a strong debut from Eichner and his
support team, Polaris looks forward to additional
success in the future.
