Press Release –

Polaris is offering snocross racing fans the best seats in the house for Pro finals at WPSA National events through its “Hot Seats RANGER” promotion.

The Hot Seats RANGER winner at each WPSA National event will get to watch the finals from the infield of the race track while seated comfortably on heated seats in the back of a highly customized Polaris RANGER.

The back of the Hot Seats RANGER – which rolls on a Pure Polaris Prospector II Track System – has a large bench seat with individual heat controls for each race fan on the seat. No matter how cold the track temperature, the Hot Seats RANGER winners will enjoy the action in heated comfort.

Polaris Hot Seats fans have two chances of being selected for this incredible racing experience. A few lucky race fans will be chosen at random by WPSA staffers to be escorted into the infield and watch the action from not only the best seats, but the warmest ones too. Others will win by signing up for the Polaris Avalanche Racing Crew Member for a Day contest.

One lucky person will win prizes and the opportunity to be an official member of the Avalanche Racing Team during Sunday’s racing activities at one of the 2007-2008 WPSA PowerSports Snowmobile Tour National events.

Winners must attend the event to be eligible and will be notified via e-mail five (5) business days prior to the race. Winners will be drawn randomly from entries filed no later than five days prior to an event.

In addition, if an Avalanche Racing racer reaches the podium in the finals on Sunday, the Crew Person for a Day will also receive up to $1,000 in products and discount certificate

“This is the second year we’ve done the Crew Person of the Day promotion and we’ve had a great experience,” said Bonnie Glefke, who co-owns Avalanche Racing with her husband Mike. “It’s really a fun experience for the whole team. The winners eat with us; they go to the starting line with us, to the finish line. They get to do some flagging and they get to go into all the transporters for the chance to meet their favorite drivers. The winners have enjoyed it and we have had the time of our lives, too.”

Everyone who registers can be considered a winner because they will receive a FREE $10 Pure Polaris coupon good toward Pure Polaris merchandise available at participating Polaris dealers.

Upcoming events on the WPSA National schedule are:

• Jan. 11-14, Air Force Canterbury Snocross, Shakopee, MN

Press Release –

Polaris Industries Inc. today announced the Company has delivered a military version of Polaris’ “Hardest Working, Smoothest Riding” RANGER™ utility vehicle to the U.S. Army at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

The MVRS800, is the newest addition to the Polaris family of Ultra Light Tactical Vehicles produced for the military.

It is powered by a 760cc, 40hp Patriot Engine™ that operates on JP8, the U.S. military’s standard fuel. This breakthrough engine was first introduced by Polaris earlier this year on the militarized all terrain vehicle (ATV), the MV800.

To withstand rugged terrain and the harsh environments the military expects these vehicles to perform in, the MVRS features a rugged, steel exoskeleton, high-capacity fuel tank, run flat tires and completely sealed power train which can ford up to 30 inches of water.

For easy transport of soldiers or gear, the vehicle also has a front storage rack, multiple D-rings, weapons storage and a rear bed with fold-down sides. The rear bed is adaptable to accessories such as litter racks and rear seating. Polaris also offers a gasoline powered version of this vehicle called the MVRS700.

“Polaris continues to assess the needs of the Armed Forces to provide them with vehicles that offer capability that can meet a wide variety of needs,” said Mark McCormick, managing director, Polaris Defense. “The MVRS is based on our popular line of RANGER side by side vehicles known for their toughness and smooth riding capability. Basing the MVRS on the RANGER platform ensures a cost effective Ultra Light Tactical Vehicle that can conquer the toughest military demands.”

Polaris Defense has been successfully providing a family of vehicles to the U.S. Armed Forces since 2001.

Established to provide vehicles, spare parts and training to the military, Polaris Defense is dedicated to supporting its customers with a total capability for the demanding needs they have in all environments worldwide.

Polaris finished the 2007 GNCC season with three Class Champions.

Factory Racers John Gallagher Sr. took the Super Senior class and Mike Sroka won the Junior A class, both aboard the Outlaw 525 IRS. Josh Konecheck, who raced a Polaris Predator, won the C Class.
