Olah Racing closed a deal with Arctic Cat for the coming two seasons. "I'm extremely pleased to be associated with Arctic Cat", said team owner Brad Olah. "They lead the industry in technology. I'm excited about the upcoming season, and just as important, by the value we will deliver to our sponsors.
By developing top teams, producing consistent race results, and delivering innovative marketing programs, we help our sponsors build brand equity."
As part of the agreement, Olah Racing will campaign Arctic Cat Sno Pro sleds in its Pro and Semi-Pro efforts. Olah Racing will have TJ Gulla and Kent Ipsen in the WSA Pro Classes. Robbie Malinoski and Ryan Simons will compete in the WSA Semi-Pro Classes.
Olah Racing will maintain two separate crews for their Pro and Semi Pro teams. The Olah Racing Professional Team will include Crew Chief Steve Thorsen and Dean Schwarzwalter, Chief Mechanic, both former World Champions.
"These guys are not only talented, but also dedicated and passionate about the sport… which is what it takes to win," added Olah, "We think they're going to have bust out years this season. Steve and Dean are pure professionals with exceptional backgrounds. Each has over 30 years experience racing and managing crews and sleds. Team infrastructure is a key to success and we believe we have the best."
Not to be outdone, Olah Racing's Semi-Pro team will include Garth Gordon as Crew Chief, and Wayne Hoffman as Chief Mechanic. Both have been a part of 14 World Championship teams. As Crew Chief in 2001, Garth took 1st & 2nd in The Eagle River World Championship.
"They bring a lot of leadership and professionalism to our Semi-Pro team," added Olah. "I look forward to working with Brad for yet another season. He knows the business and runs a very professional organization both on and off the track. I am also glad to see us make the switch to Arctic Cat. They have great sleds," said Gordon.
