BRP Ski-Doo X-Team® racers won the premier Pro Open and Semi-Pro Open classes in dominating fashion at the Grand Prix de Valcourt WPSA snocross race February 18. The wins are a milestone in snowmobile history, as the racers competed on sleds built on BRP?s 2008 REV-XP snowmobile platform.
Blair Morgan grabbed the checkered flag in Pro Open and Brett Turcotte in Semi-Pro; both riders also won their three qualifying rounds. Ski-Doo rider Mathieu Morin grabbed third in Pro Open.
