December 5, 2002: A check for $1,139.00 was presented today to Operation Rudolph for the purchasing of toys and other items for needy families. The money was raised at the second AMSOIL "Snoblast" event held at Black Woods restaurant in Proctor, Minn. Friday, November 29. Mark Mallory from KBJR-TV accepted the check on behalf of Operation Rudolph and thanked all those that participated in the event for the generous donation. "Last year we looked at helping following the events of September 11. This year we wanted to directly help area children during this holiday season and perhaps put some smiles on a few little faces," said John Schuldt AMSOIL Racing Coordinator. Operation Rudolph is a joint project of KTCO Kat Country 98.9, a "Snoblast" partner, and News 6.

"Snoblast" was held to coincide with the first night of the Duluth National Snocross. Team AMSOIL/ Scheuring Speed Sports snocross riders DJ Eckstrom and Justin Tate signed autographs and items for the auction. AMSOIL supported riders Bobby LePage and Pete Hammer were also on hand.

All money raised from a silent auction and admission at the door went to Operation Rudolph. "Snoblast"-goers enjoyed food provided by Bill Blackwood and Black Woods restaurant. A Disc Jockey from Big KAT KTCO 98.9 kept things lively on the dance floor. A special thanks goes out to Team AMSOIL owner Steve Scheuring and the World Snowmobile Association for their contributions to the auction.

Sponsors of the AMSOIL/ Scheuring Speed Sports team include Polaris, Jeff Foster Trucking, U.S. Air Force, Gates Belts, Reima Clothing, Como Propane, Duluth Lawn and Sport, Pro Concepts, Fastline Graphics, Woody's, Goodwin Performance, HJC helmets, BR Tech, and Wayne Davis Photography.
