Polaris Dominates First GNCC Side by Side Race
The GNCC Crew |
Minneapolis, Nov. 2, 2007
– At this past weekend’s GNCC Ironman in
Crawfordsville, Ind., Polaris Side by Sides were
out in full force for the first-ever GNCC Side
by Side race.
The race, dominated by RANGER side by sides
both in entry and results, was a true test of
the Side by Sides’ power and endurance, with a
course that included a water crossing, gnarly
hill climb, twisty tight trails and full-out
straight-aways. When the 45 min contest was
over, five out of the six machines that went the
most laps were RANGER RZRs.
Dana Creech took the UTV Modified 701cc+
class and Mike Hajec from Auburn, Ohio took the
UTV Limited 701cc+ with the RANGER RZR. Polaris’
new RANGER CREW debuted with a six-man team in
tow in the UTV Limited 700cc class. The RANGER
CREW was entered for fun and although not race
bred, did the full course without taking the
easy routes.
