All oils rely on a protective barrier between the metal surfaces to provide adequate protection against wear and component failure.

Based on a pure mineral oil technology coupled to a proprietary additive package, Blue Marble oil breaks out away from tradition with a revolutionary approach to lubricating your engine that actually treats the metal.

Blue Marble REV-ER-UP 4-stroke oil disperses right into the working parts of your engine where the additive package creates a surface conversion that reduces friction and improves seal between moving parts to improve overall performance, efficiency and reliability under demanding off-road conditions.

Available As Retrofit Kit for 2006!

Just when you thought the industry’s most innovative, high-tech 4-stroke snowmobiles couldn’t get any hotter, Yamaha is announcing a new one-piece hooked handlebar with heating elements that extend full length for the 2007 models. “While the hand grip heating elements on the 2006 models perform as designed,” said Yamaha Snowmobile Product Manager Adam Sylvester. “We have heard many owners’ requests for heated hooks. This new design will give consumers what they want.”

Not only will all 2007 sleds with hooked handlebars get the new heater elements, but Yamaha is also announcing a new genuine factory Handlebar Grip Warmer kit for all 2006 models with hooked handlebars.

The new kit will allow 2006 owners to enjoy the new design on their current sled. The kit, available at Yamaha Dealerships this fall, will include a one-piece handlebar with the full-length heater elements already in place to minimize installation time at the dealership.

The new Handlebar Grip Warmer kit would normally retail for over $130.00 but Yamaha is listing the new handlebar and heaters at an introductory price of just $29.99, plus labor. “We have introduced this kit so that the full-length heating elements and one-piece hooked handlebar can retrofit for those who choose to upgrade any 2006 model that came with handlebar hooks.”

On July 12th, 2006 Jeremy Crapo and Michael Pacheco of St Anthony, Idaho were involved in a collision at the St. Anthony Dunes which claimed Jeremy’s life. Michael was air lifted to Idaho Falls and is listed in critical condition.

The entire team at Supertrax extends its heartfelt sympathy to the Crapo Family. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Crapo’s and the Pacheco Family during this troubling time.

A memorial fund has been set up for Jeremy’s wife and children. Please contact david_crapo@msn.com for more information.

Press Release –

The Kap Sno Rovers are very disappointed in The Town of Kapuskasing’s decision to deny access for the snowmobile trail in front of the Kapuskasing Welcome Centre. The reason for the refusal of access is based on the spring condition of the sod in front of the Welcome Centre.

Kapuskasing is one of the most popular snowmobiling destinations in the Province of Ontario. The region has the longest snowmobling season in Ontario with an average of 15 weeks of snowmobiling.

This trail is the only link across Kapuskasing and to Kapuskasing businesses. The Kap Sno Rovers will have no choice but to reroute this trail which will bypass the Town of Kapuskasing completely. This means that the economic spinoff from snowmobiling tourists, which many local Kapuskasing businesses enjoy, will be almost nonexistant.

The Kap Sno Rovers approached the Town of Kapuskasing administration with positive solutions and offered to partner with the town in a mutually beneficial solution, but was denied by Council.

The Kap Sno Rovers requested a meeting with Council to explain their suggested possible solutions but were denied once again. As locallyminded volunteers, the Kap Sno Rovers are disappointed that their efforts to add to the recreational enjoyment and economics of the community are not being recognized by the Town of Kapuskasing Council.

2006 WPSA Champion Robbie Malinoski and Boss Racing accept the challenge

Press Release –

Yamaha will return to snocross for the 2006/2007 World Power Sports Association (WPSA) national series with a factory supported effort competing in the Pro Open Class.

Yamaha has signed Boss Racing and superstar Robbie Malinoski, 2006 WPSA Pro Stock and Pro Open champion, to pilot its Nytro based, 3 cylinder, 4-stroke snocross Open Class sleds for this race season.

“We wanted a top-tier national driver to lead our testing program,” commented Yamaha Snowmobile Race Manager Greg Marier. “Robbie is a proven champion willing to take on the 4 stroke challenge in snocross. That’s exactly the attitude we wanted for the program. Our goals this year are simple: we want to prove our 4-stroke sled has the performance to be competitive, and we will use our snocross experience to improve future Yamaha snowmobiles.”

Also making a North American comeback is veteran racer and 2006 Japanese National Snocross Champion Yuji Nakazawa. Both racers will work out of the Yamaha / Boss Racing trailer, providing their engineering support team with constant feedback on the 4 stroke test sleds.

“We are aware of the hard work ahead,” added Marier. “But Yamaha has the courage to take the 4-stroke challenge to the highest level of sno-cross racing.”

Polaris Previews Strongest, Deepest Roster of Racers for Upcoming Snocross Season

Team Polaris Racing is in the midst of its most successful and productive off-season in recent years and has assembled the deepest roster of talented snocross racers who are hungry to win championships in the upcoming 2006-2007 race season.

So far, the impressive list of racers who will pilot a Polaris race sled has quite a bit of depth. It includes returning Team Polaris aces and newcomers to the Polaris brand who have cut their racing teeth and collected checkered flags on other brands of sleds.

“We need to keep everybody healthy but without a doubt we are the deepest manufacturer out there, there’s no doubt about it, especially with the addition of Shaun Crapo,” said Team Polaris Racing Manager Tom Rager, Sr.

Idaho native Crapo raced on Polaris sleds early in his career and competed as a Pro in recent seasons on Arctic Cat sleds. He has an East Coast counterpart in Danny Poirier, who is stepping off Ski-Doos to race on Polaris sleds for the Cycle Worx team on the Rock Maple Racing circuit.

“I’m just really excited to be back with Polaris,” said Crapo. “Everyone there is just great to work with, the team has a lot more depth and no doubt we’ll be a strong team this season.”
