Polaris/Lone Star/Eichner Racing Team Racks Up Wins in ITP QuadCross at Arizona
Two of the premier Polaris off-road racing teams added big victories to their 2008 resumes recently. The Team High Lifter-Polaris Racing team looked great at the 2008 High Lifter ATV Mud Nationals in Jacksonville, Texas. Team High Lifter-Polaris winners in ATV classes were Maggie Robertson and Randy Miller, while the team of Kelly Knutson and Jesse Johnson won in their RANGER RZR, and the Team High Lifter squad made an impressive exhibition run in a 6-person RANGER CREW.
The Polaris/Lone Star/Eichner Racing Team raced to more victories in Buckey, Arizona, during Round 2 of the ITP QuadCross Series. The legendary Doug Eichner won the Open Pro class and Angela Butler won the Women’s division as both continued their totally dominant seasons on several race circuits.
Team High Lifter-Polaris Shines in the Mud
Team High Lifter-Polaris Racing had a great showing at the 2008 High Lifter ATV Mud Nationals at the Mud Creek Off-Road Park in Jacksonville, Texas. The racing held April 2-6 was part of a full week of off-road activities.
In the Supertrapp Mud Bog competition, Maggie Robertson took first place in the “Polaris Mud Chic Open” class on her Sportsman 800, while her husband Brian took second out of 65 entries in the “Pro Series” class on his Sportsman 800.
In the Maxxis Mudda Cross competition, Randy Miller blazed through the bog on his Sportsman 500 to win the “500cc or Less” class while teammate JW Otwell finished second on his Sportsman 500. Miller also took third in the “Open” class on a Sportsman 800.
The team of Kelly Knutson and Jesse Johnson took top honors in the “RUV” class as they won out over 19 other entries in their bog-dominating RANGER RZR.
• JW Otwell piloted his Sportsman 500 to third place in both the “Bogger” and “Pro Series B” classes.
• Trey Thomas and his Sportsman 800 X2 took second out of 90 entries in the “501cc & Up” class, and Jesse Johnson took third out of 14 in the “RUV” class on his RANGER RZR.
• The RANGER CREW also made its Mud Nationals debut as part of the EPI Endurance Challenge. The six-man team entered the race on an exhibition basis and ended up posting the fastest time and was one of nine of the 18 entrants that finished the race. The race result was a true testament to RANGER CREW’s power and ruggedness.
The team’s next outing is the Texas Mudfest at Gator Park in Longview, Texas, on May 1-4. For more information visit the Team High Lifter-Polaris Racing website.

Polaris /Lone Star/Eichner Racing Team Deliver Picks Up More Wins at ITP QuadCross Round 2
Led by Doug Eichner and Angela Butler, the Polaris/Lone Star/Eichner Racing Team achieved more wins on April 13 during round 2 of the ITP QuadCross Series at the Arizona Cycle Park in Buckeye, Arizona.
Eichner continued to demonstrate his dominance aboard the Polaris Outlaw 525S as he won the “Open Pro” class by finishing first in Motos 1 and 2. Six ATV brands were represented on the starting line, but it was Eichner and the Polaris Outlaw 525S who took the checkered flag and top honors in the 12-racer field.
The track challenged competitors with its numerous huge jumps and a spectacular uphill triple that gave racers and spectators a thrill. Eichner made it look easy on his Outlaw 525S with enhanced performance from Yoshimura R&D of America Inc., FOX Racing Shox suspension, aftermarket components by Lone Star Racing and MAXXIS tires.
“I couldn't ask for anything more from my Outlaw 525S,” said Eichner. “The bike performed flawlessly and I'm fortunate to have the support of many of the best sponsors in the industry. It doesn't get better than that.”
Team rider Angela Butler continued to make a case for being one of the best women off-road racers ever as she won the Women's Division aboard a Polaris Outlaw 450 MXR with enhanced performance from Yoshimura R&D of America Inc. Butler has a perfect record – all wins – on the Polaris Outlaw 450 MXR so far this season in the Women's Division, and she has run well in other classes as well.
The next stop on the WORCS tour for the Polaris/Lone Star/Eichner Racing Team will be Round 4, May 16-18 at Hollister, California.
