Polaris 850 XP EPS wins Tough Heartland Challenge with K&N Filters
- 4 Jan 2009
The very first time a Polaris 850 XP EPS Sportsman took a podium spot at an AMA/ATVA Sanctioned event it was equipped with a K&N air filter (PL-1003) and a K&N oil filter (KN-198).
The Heartland Challenge took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Drivers in the 10-hour ATV endurance race faced dropping temperatures and wet snow. The course was designed to test the riders and their ATV’s against the elements and obstacles. There were no rest periods or breaks for competitors.
Daryl Rath, Frank Batista and Jason Dunkelberger were part of the Polaris Rath Dunlop Team. Rath clocked in the first session just after noon. The Polaris 850 XP EPS Sportsman with K&N air and oil filters did well on the course and quickly moved up to first place.
The team had a minor mechanical setback due to a broken belt. Even though they lost 23 minutes they managed to retake the lead with two hours to go. They won and are now ready for the 2009 GNCC National Cross Country Utility Class season.
