Bombardier DS650 AVT Finished First in the BAJA 2000 Endurance Race VALCOURT, QUEBEC, CANADA--NOVEMBER 17, 2000 - 05:45 EST Bombardier Recreational Products took the ATV world by storm last Tuesday, finishing 1st in its first-ever participation in the SCORE BAJA 2000 off-road desert endurance race held in Mexico. Up against the industry's top machines and racers in what is described as the longest and most grueling off-road race in the world, the Bombardier(R) DS650(TM) ATV was the first to finish the 1,754 mile non-stop race in 41 hours, 34 minutes and 43 seconds, nearly 15 minutes ahead of the Honda 400 EX, last year's winner. Alain Brunelle, Vice President and General Manager, ATV, declared: "We are especially proud of the win because it's the first time in 17 years that a factory-built unit with so few modifications has taken top prize at Baja, especially since the DS650 is only in its first year of production!" The triumph of the DS650 in this 1,754 non-stop desert race is proof that our Sport ATV can not only play with the big boys, it can beat them at their game by a wide margin. With the engine measuring in at 653 cc, the DS650 stands apart from the competition in that it comes with a factory-built performance-ready package straight out of the box. Brunelle added, "We are very grateful to team manager Greg Row and his pro drivers for believing in our machine and leading us to victory. It's further proof that the DS650 is the choice of champions!" Veteran Dean Sundahl, who rode the Bombardier across the finish line in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, was part of the 7-man Team Greg Row running in relay against elite racers from 30 states including challengers from countries as far away as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Switzerland, England, Canada and Mexico. Also participating at SCORE BAJA 2000: were specialized Baja cars, modified pick-up trucks and motorcycles.
