Saturday, November 8, 2008, was the 40th anniversary of the historic Elsinore Grand Prix, an event that Doug Eichner knows well and considers as one of his favorite races.
On Friday, the day before the race, the racers were allowed to ride mountain bikes on the track to site the course before race day. Eichner took full advantage and returned to the Polaris/Lone Star/Eichner Racing pit with a smile, reporting it was the perfect track for his style of riding and the capabilities of his powerful Polaris Outlaw 450 MXR. His Outlaw runs with enhanced power and exhaust from Yoshimura, numerous aftermarket components from Lone Star Racing, MAXXIS Tires, Rath Racing and GPR Stabilizer.
"The track was going to be fast, fast, fast and included a spectacular 70-foot table top jump followed by a 90-foot double jump and, of course, the legendary Lake Elsinore water jump," he said.
When the flag dropped on Saturday morning at 11:30 a.m., it was a dusty start, but soon Eichner's classic riding style aboard the Polaris gave him 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 of the season and his first Lake Elsinore Grand Prix win aboard his Polaris Outlaw 450 MXR.
