Rath is the only one I know of, but I've heard Polaris has some other guys. I believe Daryl buys his Preds bascially at cost but gets all his parts and clothing free. Are there others? Lets hope the sport keeps getting bigger so that there are. It seems like Kawi would do the sponsor thing being they already are doing the V-Force support. Anyway, I was just curious.

Yeah Rath, he is factory backed. Seen him at the Barker's Island Ice racing. He had one predator for the studded class and another for the unstudded class.

He gets paid to go to races and bonus if he wins. Good for him, I think he quit his day job machinist/tool&die maker and now his race shop/riding is his day job. He earned it. ;)

My cousin used to race with Team Temcula Motorsports, that was partially backed by honda. They were testing new bike/motor combos when he left. He got picked up by the Bombardier / Alba motorsports team now. So he does have factory backing. Word I got from my uncle (his dad) is that they've been in the desert quite a few weekends testing a new quad????? He races with Baja / Score series.
