Eckstrom Finishes Third Overall in Both WSA Pro Divisions
Teammate Tate Awarded Most Improved

Lake Geneva, Wisconsin ~ When the snow stopped flying, and awards were handed out, it was Team AMSOIL and snocross riders DJ Eckstrom and Justin Tate that garnered the attention.

DJ Eckstrom ended the 2001-2002 World Snowmobile Association with a flourish. The Duluth native paced himself to two third places and a second place at the combined rounds nine and ten of the WSA season last weekend. Those results secured Eckstrom third place overall in the WSA Pro Stock and Pro Open classes. Eckstrom's high point this year was a win at the Grand Prix de Valcourt at Valcourt, Quebec.

Teammate Justin Tate, from Forest Lake, ended a tremendous season with strong races to finish fourth overall in WSA Pro Stock and eighth in Pro Open. Tate was named, WSA Most Improved Driver. He won the Duluth Black Magic National Snocross and the Yamaha Eastern National Snocross near Syracuse, New York.

AMSOIL and Team Owner Steve Scheuring picked up the award for WSA Independent Team of the Year. AMSOIL is proud to announce that it will be back with Scheuring and Scheuring Speed Sports for another two years.

Duluth Semi-Pro racer Matt Judnick of the Judnick Motorsports/Arctic Cat/Armor Fueling/ AMSOIL team finished the year by winning the overall WSA AMSOIL Semi-Pro Stock division and finishing fourth in Semi-Pro Open.

The AMSOIL /Scheuring Speed Sports team will race indoor snocross in Fargo and Minneapolis before ending the year with two ESPN Winter X-Game qualifying events for hillcross at Duluth and Biwabik, Minnesota.
