Polaris' Doug Eichner
Ends 2007 WORCS Season with a Bang
Medina, MN (11/16/2007) - Polaris
Factory Racer, and professional ATV racing legend
Doug Eichner finished the 2007 WORCS racing season
with complete domination at the final race of the
WORCS series in Taft California. Not only did he
out run the competition, but he did it
three times out!
Eichner's first victory was in the Pro Production
class aboard the Polaris 525 IRS. The Outlaw sported
enhanced performance from Yoshimura R&D of
America Inc. and a suspension set-up by FOX Racing
Shox.
Riding the Outlaw 525 S for the Pro Main win,
Eichner ran uncontested lap times for more than
90 minutes in his usual hard-charging style. He
did not disappoint and nothing was going to stop
this man who was on a mission crossing the checkered
flag unchallenged by the large field of worthy
opponents.
Eichner finished the WORCS racing season in second
place, only six points behind the first place
finisher. After starting the first three races
of the season on another manufacturer's quad,
he switched to the Outlaw and finished on the
podium in six of the seven remaining races.
Eichner also showed his winning ways don't just
come aboard a quad when he smoked the Rhino-Mod.
SxS class in a stock RANGER RZR. Approximately
six other machines were ready for some racing.
Eichner, just out for some fun, gave his fans
a holeshot start to the thrill of a delighted
crowd. When he received a bump from fellow racer
and good friend aboard a highly modified competitive
unit, the race was on. Eichner was on the gas
with his co-pilot and pit mechanic Todd Hunt hanging
on for a thrilling ride. Eichner never gave up
even when the modified side by side cleared a
huge table top jump. Eichner ran him down again
through the turns and rough course pushing the
limits of his competitor and its very capable
pilot. Pressure from Eichner and the incredible
stock RANGER RZR played its toll on the other
side by side as the Pilot overshot the table top
jump which finished his day. Eichner crossed the
checkered flag and put on the best show of the
year on in the SxS class of the WORCS season.
"It was a fabulous weekend and a great way
to end the year," said Eichner. "We
had some major changes this season and I am grateful
for the support of my honest and loyal sponsors
as well as true friends. I couldn't have done
it without them. The Polaris Outlaws have proved
they are very capable machines. The Outlaws performance
record is something to make special note of and
I can't wait to for another chance to capture
victories for the team of Polaris professionals
who take great pride in their expertise and of
course the invaluable support of the best sponsors
in the business."
