Eichner Claims Pro ATV Win
Saturday, November 8, 2008 was a fast, furious and winning day for the Polaris / Lone Star / Eichner Racing Team.
Eichner, straight off the track from his Pro win at the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix, along with support from his trusted motor builder, George Fickett from Yoshimura R&D of America Inc. and friend & pit support, Larry Heidler, packed quickly and made a dash to the Perris Auto Speedway where the Ricky Johnson Off-Road GP was being held Saturday evening.
This race venue returned Eichner to his familiar roots of the Mickey Thompson Grand Prix Style Stadium Racing and it was obvious Eichner was in his element. This race series appeals to all types of race enthusiasts and offers stadium style racing for trucks, super-lights, mini-trucks, UTVs and, of course, ATVs.
With only a quick change of tires, Eichner was back aboard his same Polaris Outlaw 450 MXR that he had just clinched the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix with only hours earlier.
“I haven’t had the opportunity of riding my Outlaw on a track like this, but I came in from practice and could not believe how well my Outlaw handled with very few adjustments,” Eichner said.
The Outlaw only needed a polish and it was ready for business and looked fierce under the stadium lights. Eichner took command of the stadium style track winning both the heat race and Pro Main Event.
Eichner, on behalf of the Polaris / Lone Star / Eichner Racing Team, proudly represented his sponsors in his winning performance and victory lap with checkered flag in hand. Currently the Ricky Johnson Off-Road GP is scheduled to air on Versus the first part of 2009. Based on the enthusiasm from racers and spectators alike, series promotors are looking to run a complete 8 race stadium series in 2009.
