Doug Eichner took his
Yoshimura powered ATV to win both the
Pro ATV and Pro-Production classes at
Lake Havasu

Chino, CA (4/18/2008) - Racing legend Doug
Eichner is on a winning streak. He had a great
weekend at the Lake Havasu, AZ round of the World
Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS) winning both
the Pro ATV and Pro Production classes. He is
currently the points leader in the ITP QuadCross
Series with a pair of wins at the first two rounds.
Eichner and his Yoshimura-tuned Polaris are eating
up the competition.
In the WORCS series, seven-time Ponte De Vaux
winner and Polaris Factory racer rode his potent
Polaris Outlaw 525 S for the win in the Pro
Production class in the first round in Phoenix
as well as securing both the Pro Production
and the Pro ATV First Place podiums at Havasu
on March 21st.
The double win at Havasu was sweet for both
Eichner and Yoshimura. "I won the Pro Production
class on my Yoshimura Maxxis Polaris 525."
Eichner said. "I was second off the start
and figured I needed to make a quick pass, within
a few corners I saw my opportunity and took
it, from there I ran a solid race and took the
overall win."

At the Buckey MX ATV
Race of the ITP QuadCross Series Doug
Eichner took the Open Pro class win
|
Doug dominating the weekend's racing by claiming
the win in the Pro ATV race the next day. "Once
again, my Yoshimura Maxxis sponsored Polaris
ATV got me the holeshot, from there I just put
my head down and ran my own race trying to put
in consistent lap times. Typically Lake Havasu
is a physically demanding event due to the heat,
but this year the heat was not a factor for
me at all."
Last weekend, Eichner went to Phoenix to hold
his points lead in the ITP QuadCross Series
-- a totally different breed of ATV racing.
"I finished 1-1 in the Open Pro class
at the Buckey MX Track in Phoenix. The 2 moto
formats are cool. In the first moto I was about
2nd off the start and made the pass for the
lead going into the 3rd corner. I checked out
from there. The 2nd moto was easier since I
got the holeshot and ran away with the win.
It was a good weekend for me."
Doug uses Yoshimura pipes and engine building
services and feels they help give him an edge.
"I can't say enough about the power Yoshimura
products give me on race day - there is plenty
of performance from start to finish."
This weekend all eyes are on Doug to see if
he can keep this streak up by winning the WORCS
in Auburn, WA. Good Luck Doug!
