Valcourt, Québec - BRP's Ski-Doo X-Team has announced past
winners Scott Davis and Todd Palin will use Ski-Doo MX Z X E-Tec 600 models
when they pair up once again for the Iron Dog race.
Davis
and Palin had been competing on Arctic Cat sleds in past years.
The Iron Dog Gold Rush Classic is an off-trail snowmobile
race covering 3,200 km (2,000 miles) across Alaska. Seven-time winner Davis and
four-time winner Palin have five top three finishes in their eight years as a
team.
"We want every advantage we can get," said Davis, "and BRP's
Ski-Doo sleds have the best combination of speed, durability and handling that
can win this race."
"The Rotax E-Tec engines proved last year that they bring a
clear fuel mileage advantage while delivering the power you need to run at the
front," added Palin.
"We're proud to have Scott and Todd join BRP's Ski-Doo
X-Team," Yves Leduc, vice president and general manager, North
America division, said. "The Iron Dog race is a grueling event and
Ski-Doo snowmobiles with these two talented riders make a great match."
