TY4stroke: Snowmobile Forum | Yamaha - 4 Stroke

This year, Totallyamaha is going to let the people decide. Instead of us providing the ride shirt design, we are going to have a contest, and may the best person win! Once a few designs have been submitted and selected, we will open this up to the people to vote on the winner. The winner will receive $75 worth of ride shirt merchandise, including free shipping. If we do not get enough submissions, we will work with the ones that were supplied and come up with a design from that.

All submissions must be emailed to webmaster@totallyamaha.com with the subject line of “Ride Shirt Design”. All submissions must be received by 11-1-16 to accommodate for enough voting time as ride shirts must be ordered by 12-1-16. See attached past ride shirt designs for examples of what we are looking for. All designs must have “Totallyamaha” on them as well as a tuning fork, “2017 Ride”, and “Since 2002” in some fashion. You can use any kind of Yamaha product, sleds, etc....

I thought this would be a great share for us Totallyamaha Riders as well as some in site from the History of the Nytro by Greg Marier, Retired from Yamaha Motor Corporation.

From Greg Mariers post:
My Sunday Snowmobile Post: SuperTrax article covering the Yamaha 4-st snowmobile development story starting with the RX-1 that eventually resulting in the introduction of the FXNytro series. Included are the FXNytro development story/photos. In addition, YMC raced 4-st race sleds in Japan based on the RSVector/RSNytro chassis. I have included photos from a race team press kit distributed in Japan at that time.

Here is the SuperTrax article: (sorry - but it runs really long ...)
