top end gasket kit.
New in our Arctic Cat selections, we now have
a
piston kit to fit the F8, M8, and Crossfire 8 models.

pistons that are skirt coated for reduced friction and
quiet operation. Along with Wiseco's electra coating,

eliminates ring and pin scuffing for increased life and
added performance-, the pistons are light weight for
less vibration and improved throttle response. Made
on a dedicated forging, Wiseco's pistons bring
superior strength to weight ratio. It retails at
$359.16 (SK1374). Arctic Cat Crossfire 8, F8,

We are saddened to
announce the death of one of our
dear friends and Supercross racers from Mexico.
Back in August,
Wiseco powered racer, Rene Reyes Aguirre, was
murdered in Juarez Cuidad, Mexico following a
weekend of racing. Rene,
a 24 year
old from Chihuahua, Mexico, was a
5 time Supercross SX1 champion. He even made his
way into US Supercross, making main events. Rene
came from a family of renowned racers, including his
father, a racer from the 1960's, and his late brother.
Everyone at Wiseco sends our thoughts and prayers
to Rene's family and friends. He was a great friend to
Wiseco and he will be missed. |
Wiseco powered Ashley
Fiolek continues her
domination in the Women's MX Pro class. She just
recently won the championship! Congratulations to
Ashley for her performance and her dedication to the
sport! Great job! (picture right)
Tyler Medaglia

Rockstar Energy/ OTSFF in Canada won the MX2 final
at the Montreal Supercross in September! During the
event, Madaglia clocked the fastest practice time on
the track at Olympic Stadium. This was his second
consecutive win of the event. Great job finishing up
the season! |  |

Rodrig Thain finished behind Aubert and Salminen in
the first day of racing and fought hard on the second.

my TM EN 450F works perfectly. I will try to attack
because I still have the chance to finish third in the
championship." . |

Kvarnstrom in the
E Junior class had a fantastic first day winning his
class! Unfortunately on day 2, he had a bad fall, but
was not injured. At the end of the race, Robert

good showings for the weekend. TM Racing will be
