Polaris Outlaw 450MXR Finds a Home in the Top
Ten!
Landon Hurst |
2008 season is going to be quite the year in
racing history books. Polaris /Rath/Dunlop Rider
Landon Hurst, No. 179, piloted his Polaris
Outlaw 450MXR to a top ten finish in both the
Pro Am Production class and Pro Am
Unlimited classes at the Red Bud MX National
ATVA Race this past weekend. This was yet
another goal that a hard working team of riders
and crew wanted to reach. Even with the storm
coming through Friday night the track came
around but it was going to be rough! All the
riders frantically tried to dial in their race
machines at practice. Hurst made a few
suspension changes and was ready and confident
to go to the line.
Saturday set the
stage for the Pro Am Unlimited class. Hurst
settled into his gate pick and when the gate
dropped he was on the gas and rode a flawless
race finishing in a fourth place position and
qualifying him for the main event.
Twenty riders competed in the main event and the
competition was fierce as they headed to the
first corner, charging hard to gain position
Hurst continued to fight to the finish earning
himself an impressive 6th place overall and
putting Polaris in the top ten in an ATVA Pro Am
class for the first time, adding yet another
memorable event for Polaris, himself and his
team.
Hurst stated, “I’m really starting
to get comfortable on the Outlaw which allows me
to pick up the pace and gets me closer to my
goal of putting Polaris on the podium.“
Still pumped with the excitement and the
adreline from Saturday’s stellar run, on Sunday,
it was time to race the Pro Am Production Class.
Moto I proved to be a repeat with another fourth
place finish, once again securing Hurst position
in the Main event. The track had definitely
started to show the abuse of a long weekend of
racing. Hurst rode right into the history books
by placing another top ten!
Top Ten is
where the Polaris Outlaw MXR was meant to be,
Polaris /Rath/Dunlop Rider Jay Corey piloted his
into top ten finishes in both of his classes –
450B and 4-stroke B.
With the winning
momentum and the determination of the riders and
this team the excitement is building for Loretta
Lynn’s.
