Minneapolis, MN (11/11/2008) - Saturday,
November 8, 2008 marked the 40th anniversary
of the Historic Elsinore Grand Prix. Eichner
is no stranger to the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix
and considers it to be one of his most enjoyable
races.
Friday before the race, all competitors were
allowed to ride mountain bikes on the track
to site the course before race day. Eichner
took advantage of the site-lap and returned
to the Polaris / Lone Star / Eichner Racing
pit with a smile stating this was the perfect
track for his style of riding and the capabilities
of his powerful Polaris Outlaw 450 MXR with
enhanced power and exhaust from Yoshimura,
numerous aftermarket components from Lone
Star Racing, MAXXIS Tires, Rath Racing and
GPR Stabilizer.
Eichner said, "The track was going to
be fast, fast, fast and included a spectacular
70 ft. table top jump followed by a 90 foot
double jump and of course the legendary Lake
Elsinore water jump."
Eichner couldn't wait to get at it as the
flag dropped on Saturday morning at 11:30
a.m. It was a dusty start, but it was only
a short time before you could see Eichner's
classic riding style aboard the Polaris leaving
site of the crowd with a large lead.
Eichner and the Polaris Outlaw 450 MXR ran
a flawless 45-minute race, mastered the jumps
and turned on the gas on the fast open style
track. With what appeared to be an untouchable
lead, Eichner took the time to give fans "high-fives"
as they jumped out of the cheering sections
with their arms waving.
Clearly the crowd favorite, Eichner made
this victory his ninth Pro win at the Legendary
Lake Elsinore Grand Prix, but a first for
Eichner aboard his Polaris Outlaw 450 MXR.
