Yamaha announced the Yamaha factory snocross team
for the coming 2007-08 season, signing pro racer Steve Taylor and semi
pro racer Cory Davis. “I’m excited to have these two talented
riders campaigning FX Nytro race sleds on the WPSA National snocross
circuit,” said Yamaha Race Manager Greg Marier, “We are
looking forward to a great season”.
Prince George, British Columbia, native Steve Taylor
has some experience on the FX Nytro already, having worked behind the
scenes on the testing and development team last season. “I have
about a million laps on the sled already this spring,” he said.
“The low end torque from the four stroke engine is amazing. It’s
awesome in the technical, rhythm sections.”
“Steve is a very smooth, finesse rider who is very creative in
finding the fast lines on the race track,” said Marier. “Give
him the holeshot and he’s a tough racer to beat. With the power
of our 4-stroke and Steve’s drive to win, we are expecting great
results from Steve on our FXNytro race sled this season.
Cory Davis, hailing from Soldotna, Alaska, is equally
excited to be aboard the 4-stroke Yamaha race sled this season. “When
I first sat on the sled, I felt immediately comfortable,” he said.
“The ergonomics and handling of the FX Nytro makes the sled feel
super nimble, plus the engine has a lot of power.”
“We really liked what we saw in Cory on his way to win the WPSA
National Semi pro Open championship last season, and watching him ride
the Yamaha prototype race sled this spring was really amazing”
said Marier. “Cory won the Semi-Pro Open Champion last year at
age 18 and he will be back to defend his title on the FX Nytro 4-Stroke.
He has the talent and determination to battle for the win every time
he is on the track.
Yamaha’s snocross program will continue to serve as an advanced
R & D program to lead future FXNytro development. “We will
continue to prove our 4-stroke performance direction by competing head-on
in the WPSA National snocross race circuit” concluded Marier.
“Having a top Pro and Semi Pro riders on the track every weekend
not only gives our fans added incentive to come to the races, but it
also increases our product development opportunities.”
