RANGER RZR Continues to Dominate Race Circuits
Past weekend
brings wins in WORCS and BITD
Minneapolis, May 22, 2008
–The RANGER RZR dominated the WORCS and Best in
the Desert races this past weekend with two
podium finishes at the Hollister Hills WORCS
race and two podiums at BITD’s Bluewater Gran
Prix.
WORCS’ “Rhino Mod” class saw RANGER RZRs take
first and second place. Mark Holz finished the
race on top about 30 seconds ahead of Doug
Eichner and more than a minute ahead of the
third place finisher. At the break of the WORCS
season, Eichner holds the lead in the “Rhino
Mod” standings and Holz is in sixth after racing
just two WORCS races. The next WORCS race is
August 15-17, in Olympia, Wash.
Jagged X and their No. 1919 RANGER RZR, piloted
by Brandon Schueler and Blake Van de Loo, left
the line strong falling into third position
after the awesome landrush start. By the time
the crew reached the pit area, the No. 1919 had
found its way to the front position and never
looked back. The Polaris RANGER RZR held off the
rest of the field to gain Jagged X and Polaris
Racing their first 2008 BITD win. The
second-place finisher also was piloting a RANGER
RZR. The win helps secure BITD season
championship points lead for Jagged X and
Polaris Racing going into the famed Vegas to
Reno race to be held August 21-23.
