Minneapolis, MN (11/11/2008) - 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.
