Press Release –

What better way to enjoy Ontario’s new Family Day statutory holiday in the middle of winter than to go snowmobiling?

So the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) has officially declared the third Monday in February as “OFSC Go Snowmobiling Family Day”.

The OFSC invites all Ontarians to celebrate Ontario’s first Family Day, February 18th, from the seat of a snowmobile and welcomes families to try OFSC trails.

“We join the Province of Ontario in embracing the idea of family day because snowmobiling originated as a special family activity, and families who love winter remain the core of our volunteer base and ridership,“ said Bruce Robinson, the OFSC president who hales from a snowmobiling family in Kemptville. “My vision for Go Snowmobiling Family Day is that OFSC trails will be full of families having fun and sharing a memorable winter adventure that can only be had while snowmobiling.”

OFSC membership currently comprises more than 150,000 family riders who enjoy Ontario’s winter wonderland by snowmobiling on 40,000 km. of OFSC trails.

Many of these riders reside in small town and rural Ontario, but numerous urban families also enjoy OFSC trails. 75% of OFSC snowmobile owners are married.

The average snowmobile family has 0.8 children living at home. These family folks appreciate snowmobiling because it gets their family outdoors together and provides a shared experience that keeps parents and kids together.

Many family participants are multigenerational, with grandparents, their kids and grandchildren continuing to ride together.

The OFSC promotes family riding through 235 local snowmobile clubs that serve their home communities. One prime example of this family-orientation is the annual Snowarama rides hosted by many OFSC clubs for the Easter Seal Society of Ontario.

To date, OFSC clubs have raised $16.5 million to support children with physical disabilities and their families.

The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs is dedicated to providing strong leadership and support to member clubs and volunteers, to establishing and maintaining quality snowmobile trails which are used in a safe and environmentally responsible manner, and to furthering the enjoyment of organized snowmobiling.

After receiving thousands of entry forms at the WPSA PowerSports Snowmobile Tour Air Force Canterbury Snocross this past January 11-13, 2008, at Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Minnesota, the results have been tallied.

Ness dropped his entry form in the box at the CBR booth this past weekend and his name was picked from the pile during the drawing before the Pro final on Sunday, January 13. Semi-Pro snocross rider and Fertile-Beltrami High School grad Andrew Johnstad had the honor of picking the winner while he stood on the podium after his second place finish in Semi-Pro Open Sunday.

“We received a lot of entries,” said CBR co-owner Dwight Christian. “A lot of people who stopped by thought it was too good to be true, but once we let them know it was legit they couldn’t get their entry forms filled out fast enough. It was an exciting contest.”

Ness will fly out of Minneapolis for sunny Las Vegas, Nevada, February 28 and return March 3, 2008. Ness’ air fare, hotel and race tickets are all courtesy of KFC Honey BBQ Hot Wings, Arctic Cat and CBR.

It’s a race fan’s dream come true and this lucky snocross fan should have the time of his life.

Press Release –

Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII) announced today that its Chief Executive Officer, Tom Tiller, expects to step down from his position by the end of 2008 when his current employment contract expires. Tiller, 46, has been with the company since July, 1998 and its CEO since May, 1999.

Tiller explained his decision as a personal one. “After considerable thought and extensive discussions with the Board of Directors, I felt 2008 was the right time to leave. When I came to Polaris from GE, I expected to lead the company for a considerable period, and 2008 marks my tenth year here. I absolutely love our company, our products, and our people, and I’m proud of what we have been able to accomplish together. This past year was another good one for us in a tough environment, and I expect 2008 to be good as well. We have a very solid and experienced team, and I am confident in our ability to win well into the future. Our company is in good shape so it seems like the right time.”

“Polaris is a company that is built on innovation. And a fresh set of eyes every decade or so is a good thing. With just two CEO’s over the past 27 years, we have enjoyed consistent leadership and results. I am confident that we will identify a successor that will benefit our employees, dealers, suppliers, shareholders and communities for the long run. And for me personally, I am excited about ending my tenure as CEO in a very strong way, helping the Board choose a successor, and then exploring some new challenges.”

Tiller is expected to remain on the Polaris Board of Directors for a transitional period after a successor is named.

The Board of Directors, led by its chairman Greg Palen, is directing the search for Tiller’s successor and will evaluate both internal and external candidates. “The Board is committed to ensuring that Polaris goes through an effective and orderly leadership transition,” said Palen. “We have had a comprehensive succession plan in place for several years, and are in the process of executing that plan, which will ultimately identify the best possible candidate. We will take the time necessary to identify the very best person, and that process is expected to be completed this year.”

In the interim, the current management team, led by Tom Tiller and Bennett Morgan, President & COO, will continue to direct the company to ensure continuity.

As CEO, Tiller led Polaris to become a more diverse and global company. Net sales grew from $1.1 billion in 1998 to nearly $1.8 billion today and the Company expanded its International business outside of North America from 6 percent of total Company sales in 1998 to approximately 14 percent of Company sales today.

The market capitalization of Polaris also grew from approximately $1.0 billion in 1998 to nearly $1.7 billion at the end of 2007.

Additionally, Tiller continued to diversify the revenue and income generation capabilities of the Company to better weather economic changes including growing the side-by-side business into what now represents more than one-third of total Polaris ATV sales under the RANGER™ brand, and establishing Victory as the first successful launch of a major motorcycle brand in more than 60 years.

Tiller also significantly grew Polaris’ financial services business and expanded the highly profitable parts, garments and accessories business. During his tenure, Polaris invested $36 million into a new 126,000-square-foot Product Development Center in Wyoming, Minnesota, the single largest investment in product development the Company has ever made, which demonstrates the Company’s commitment to continuing to create innovative, top-of-the-line, high-quality vehicles for Polaris and Victory riders.

“We are thankful to Tom for the direction and success he has provided in the decade in which he has led the Company, and support his decision to take some time away from the life of a public company CEO,” said Palen. “His focus on helping the Board to identify the right person to lead Polaris in the future and his decision to remain as CEO until the successor is named and in place are key steps to ensure both a smooth leadership transition and a successful 2008 for Polaris.”

Polaris Reaffirms Full Year 2007 Sales and Earnings Guidance

Polaris will release its fourth quarter and full year 2007 financial results the morning of Tuesday, January 29, 2008, and remains confident in its previously announced full year 2007 sales growth guidance of five to six percent growth over 2006, and full year 2007 earnings per share from continuing operations guidance range of $3.05 to $3.10 per diluted share, a 12 to 14 percent increase over 2006.

Thief River Falls, Minn. –The idea was originally pioneered by Jim Urquhart, who last season raced the USCC Red Lake 500 in the Fan 600 class and brought home first place while raising over $3,000. This Year Arctic Cat and Black Magic wanted to race that idea to an even larger payout for the (CMN) Childrens Miracle Network.

Jeff Gruhlke, 33 from Wyoming, MN is no stranger to snowmobiles and snowmobile racing having raced snocross for 5 years. New to Cross Country racing last season, Jeff competed in 4 events, finishing on the podium 3 times. Black Magic Powersports has inked Jeff to ride the Red Lake 500 on the all-new and revolutionary Arctic Cat 600 SP and both are looking forward to great finish.

Gruhlke is excited at the opportunity to return to Arctic Cat on a race sled fully prepped by Black Magic Powersports. “Black Magic has a strong reputation of great results and they bring great equipment to the race. Knowing I have an Arctic Cat that is prepared by Black Magic gives me confidence and I’m looking forward to a great finish for myself and the Childrens Miracle Network.”

“We want to win, and Jeff gives us an excellent chance. I rode with him last Saturday and spent some time with him at the shop, he’s just one of those guys who has a natural ability to go fast,” says Arne Rantanen Jr., vice president of Black Magic. “I thrilled to have Jeff ride for us and I really think he’s got a chance to win.”

The USCC Red Lake 500 will take place January 18-20 and is hosted by Seven Clans Casino in Thief River Falls, Minn. The USCC Red Lake 500 is considered one of the toughest events for both man and machine.

BRP Press Release
January 14, 2008

As you know, BRP is the undisputed leader when it comes to state-of-the-art two-stroke snowmobile engines, with SDI and PowerT.E.K.TM technologies.

Today, we’re extending our lead with the introduction of the Rotax 600 H.O. E-TEC engine. It powers a special 2009 Ski-Doo® MX Z TNT sled, available now in limited quantities.

We pioneered E-TEC direct injection two-stroke technology in our Evinrude® outboard engines, where it won the Clean Air Technology Excellence Award from the US Environmental Protection Agency. This E-TEC system, developed specifically for snowmobiles, delivers several benefits:

Fuel Economy.
At 21 mpg US/25 mpg CDN, the 600 H.O. E-TEC uses 15% less fuel than the current Rotax 600 H.O. semi-direct injection (SDI) engine, 78% less fuel than the Polaris‡ 600 CFI and 92% less than the Arctic Cat‡ 600 EFI.1

Oil Economy.
Most owners will have to add oil just once per season2, due to the added precision of the system’s electronic oil pump and sophisticated computer mapping. The 600 H.O. E-TEC uses half the oil of the SDI and Polaris 600 CFI, and just a third the oil (66% less) of the Arctic Cat 600 EFI. 3

Emissions / smoke and smell.
The 600 H.O. E-TEC is the cleanest two-stroke snowmobile engine by a wide margin, meaning there’s virtually no smoke or smell.4

Lightweight.
Because of its two-stroke configuration, the 600 H.O. E-TEC is naturally lightweight for better handling and reducing rider fatigue. The MX Z TNT with 600 H.O. E-TEC model weighs just 415 pounds (188 kg).

Hassle-free ownership experience.
Engines with E-TEC technology start on the first pull every time; run with a super smooth idle and instant response; the platinum-tipped spark plugs are warranted for three years; and features the industry’s first automatic summerization function.

The significant improvements in fuel and oil consumption will save 600 H.O. E-TEC owners real money over a season. And the instant throttle response and near elimination of smoke and smell will make this engine a pleasure to own and ride.

We’re really excited about this new technology and hope you are, too.

Look for the New E-TEC website February 4th at www.Ski-Doo.com for more information.

Also continue to check www. Supertraxmag.com as we will have a New 2009 TNT E-TEC for evaluation this month.
