Outlaw 525 IRS Shines in the Best In The Desert
Avi 150 U.S. Championship

MEDINA, MN (Nov. 9, 2007)
–Polaris Factory Racer and ATV racing legend,
Doug Eichner, is no stranger to desert racing as
evidenced by his multiple Best in the Desert
Championship titles, SCORE Championship titles
and past winner of the prestigious Baja 1000.
In his desert debut aboard the Polaris Outlaw
525 IRS, Eichner partnered up with Pro rider
John Shafe taking a strong second in the Avi 150
U.S. Championship.
This was Shafe’s first time aboard the Outlaw
IRS and together with Eichner proved the IRS is
a force to be reckoned with in yet another
terrain. The team led most of the 150 mile race
with a flawless performance from this versatile
machine.
Eichner was interested in testing the ability
of the IRS in the desert as he believes it to
have a promising future for title contention
in desert competition among others.
"The Outlaw 525 IRS ran strong and together
with the enhanced motor performance from
Yoshimura and aftermarket suspension set-up from
FOX Racing Shox, this bike is quickly becoming
my favorite machine," stated Eichner. "We
believe in the talents of John Shafe and he did
not disappoint us. This was Shafe's first major
desert competition and we are pleased to have
lead most of the race and were not far off the
pace of the first place seasoned desert team."
With a strong debut from Eichner and his
support team, Polaris looks forward
to additional success in the future.
