Four Podiums and Nine Top-Five Finishes Gives Yamaha Hill Climbers Best Weekend of the Season
Pleasant Prairie, WI – After a huge statement victory at the World Championship Hill Climb in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Yamaha hillclimb racers asserted their top-of-the-mountain performance with an impressive collection of podiums and top-ten results at the Ultimate Snowmobiler competition in Crested Butte, Colorado.
As the Rocky Mountain Snowmobile Hillclimb Association (RMSHA) season heads into the home stretch, the momentum and podium finishes for Yamaha racers and the new SR Viper M-TX continues to gain speed and credence.

Bunke Racing Wraps Up Best Racing Season To Date
Moorhead, Minn. (April 17th, 2014) – The 2013-2014 season not only marked the third straight win for Bunke Racing in the grueling Soo I-500, it also was the 5th time Gabe Bunke has won the race making him one of only two riders to win it five or more times. For most race teams this feat alone would make for a successful season, but for Bunke Racing it was merely the high water mark in what was perhaps the best and most accomplished season to date for the Polaris-backed cross-country and enduro team.
Without doubt, the Soo I-500 is one of Bunke Racing’s biggest targets each season. The 2014 race was the second year in a row Bunke Racing’s AutoLite-sponsored snowmobiles took the Top 2 spots at the race with the No. 537 sled ridden by Ryan and Travis Faust and Spencer Kadlec backing up the winning No. 74 sled ridden by Gabe Bunke and Aaron Christensen. This second straight 1-2 finish combined with the third straight win makes Bunke Racing the modern kings of this prestigious race.
