Outlaw Shows its
Out-of-the-Box Brawn
 With the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC)
and World Off Road Championship Series (WORCS)
taking their mid-season breaks, the Polaris
Outlaw has shown its out-of-the-box brawn by
blazing the trails in both series.
GNCC
4-Stroke Stock A” Racer Todd Rothermel and
“Super Senior (50+)” Racer John Gallagher have
been smokin’ on the GNCC courses with their
Outlaws. At the break, Rothermel sits atop the
GNCC stock class, with six first place finishes
and two seconds. Super Senior, Gallagher, also
is at the top of his class with eight first
place finishes and one second.
Women’s Pro Parton has hit the podium seven
out of nine races, with six second place
finishes and one third place. Pro Rider Matt
Smiley began the season on the Outlaw but after
struggling with setup issues in the first two
races, he opted to finish the season on the
Predator that he rode to fifth place overall in
2005.
WORCS Stock
Stock A Racer, Jeff Bertuzzi is lighting it up
on the WORCS courses, dominating the Stock A
class by hitting the podium in every WORCS race
with four first and two second places.
Bertuzzi’s aggressive riding style paired with
the Outlaw’s ability to handle the roughest
trails has resulted in impressive victories and
has him leading the Stock A point standings at
the break.
“Polaris’ goal for the Outlaw was to deliver
a machine that could handle aggressive trails
and be one of the best right out of the box,”
said Jeff LeFever, marketing manager for the ATV
Division at Polaris. “The machine’s performance
so far shows it is well on its way.”
