a Podium finish in the SXS Pro Stock
Class at the Sand Hollow WORCS |
Sand Hollow is known for being the most beautiful
race on the WORCS circuit. It’s also the most
difficult. With deep sand whoops hiding jagged
rocks, the race was definitely a challenge
for both drivers and their machines.
Eichner dominated the start, snagging the
holeshot and leaving the rest of the field
in his dust. Though he lost the lead on the
first lap, he held onto second for most of
the race, only losing the spot on the final
lap.

the Pro Stock SXS Holeshot |
“The STI Tires and Wheels got me the holeshot
big time,” said Eichner. “I just ruined those
guys. I ran the STI Chicanes and they worked
great as always. On the last lap I took a
wrong line and lost the spot. I tried to set
him up going down the hill and he shut the
door on me. The Yamaha worked great today
with the Fox Shocks and STV Bulletproof steering
rack.”
Setup was key here because track conditions
change nearly every lap. Eichner relied on
his Fox Shocks to get the job done.
“The course was really rough, so the Fox
Shocks got a workout,” said Eichner. “The
sand is really unforgiving and it can bite
you. You really have to keep up your momentum.”
Eichner relies on STV to make sure his Yamaha
is race ready for every event. That was key
here as Eichner had a quick turnaround from
last weekend’s UTV World Championship in Laughlin,
NV.
“STV is really important to my program,”
said Eichner. “Andrei is going to prep my
car in Las Vegas and I can pick it up for
the next race in Cedar City. Him and his guys
prepping the car is key to getting the car
into race condition. “
The STV Motorsports racers will be back in
action as the series next heads to Iron Mine
Racepark in Cedar City, UT May 19-21.
