After 33 years in the snowmobile after-market I'm calling it quits. I've enjoyed my many years in this industry starting out at Bender Racing in 1982 until now at Pioneer Performance. 20 years of racing, traveling the country with Tim Bender and the guys at Bender Racing, meeting and getting to know many people at Yamaha U.S., and designing and developing many products for Yamaha snowmobiles are just a few things that have highlighted the last 33 years. Throughout those years I've had so many loyal customers that have made it possible for me to continue doing what I enjoy. I'd like to everyone that's stuck by me all of these years for all of their support.
Thank you,
Bruce Schrader

This is old news. It has been on the Apex talk blog since May 1.
Is he still going to be working at pioneer power sports In New York I have stopped in at the dealers this winter looking for parts and Bruce had just left for North Carolina.

Sad to hear this. Yet glad I went another route with my clutch kit and stuff. - nothing worse than buying a product and losing factory support. I had just talked to him about parts and ordering in the middle of April and seemed like a great guy buy gave no indication that the doors were closing. Wish him luck in what ever he does from here.

Why would I be trolling the Apex section looking for news if I have a Viper?

If you are speaking of the "clutching on the cheap" kit he was selling there never was any "factory" support as he carried that at my request for a system I designed. Plenty of support for that kit here on TY.

Since Bruce is out of the game, who had good revalve setups for the rear shocks. I was going to have Bruce do them since he was 30 min from me and he also did a few sets of apex shocks for me in the past and did a great job. Who are you guys using and how did they work out for you?
