THE NEW SKI-DOO REV-XP
Valcourt, Québec, May 24, 2007 – BRP has signed BOSS Racing and WPSA Snocross champion Robbie Malinoski to race its Ski-Doo® MX Z® snowmobiles through the 2010 season. BOSS will campaign Malinoski and another driver to be announced in the WPSA Pro classes.
“BRP has been the dominant, innovating force in snocross for a long time now and we’re looking forward to partnering with a winner,” said Garry Querel, owner of BOSS Racing.
Malinoski was one of the WPSA Snowmobile Tour’s dominating performers, winning both WPSA Pro Open and Pro Stock season championships in 2006, before moving to Yamaha. Despite his talent and best efforts on four-stroke-powered sleds in 2007, Malinoski qualified for just six of 10 Pro Open finals, and posted an average 10th place finish.
“There’s nothing I love more than mixing it up at the head of the pack with my buddies, like Blair Morgan, and taking the top spot of the podium,” said Malinoski. “I’m stoked because racing the new REV-XP™ platform will let me do that again, every single heat and final. It was hard giving a 50 to 60 pound advantage to everyone else week after week.”
“Robbie’s energy, talent and professionalism are a great match for BRP,” said Yves Leduc, vicepresident and general manager, Snowmobiles, Watercraft, Sport boats and ATVs, BRP. “We’re excited for him and BOSS to show the snowmobile world the extreme performance of our REVXP sleds.”
Other Ski-Doo factory race teams for 2008 include: Blair Morgan Racing Team, Warnert Racing, Harrison Racing and D&Z Racing.
