: Contract is up...
revrnd 04-07-2003, 05:43 PM This is from the March 31 issue of Snow Week:
"But Blair Morgan Racing's Race Manager Jamie Anseeuw said they are talking with Ski-Doo and would like to resign with that manufacturer. "We're not negotiating with anybody but Ski-Doo," Anseeuw said. "We don't want to make a change. We absolutely have to respect their loyalty." Anseeuw said he hoped to sign a new contract as soon as possible, and if they don't, it could drag on through the summer.
Steve Cowing, Ski-Doo's Race Marketing and Communications Manager, said at this point there is no timetable to get a deal done. He said Ski-Doo would like to continue the relationship with Morgan and the team. "We're working on ways to make it work for both of us," Cowing said. "It's been a great relationship and we hope it continues."
3eyedcat 04-07-2003, 11:24 PM He's saying all the right thing's, but with this ownership thing going on with ski-doo who know's. Where ever he's decides to go, chance's are he will win with what ever sled he enter's.
WickedWiesel 04-08-2003, 07:12 AM I agree . He will win with what ever he rides.If Cat was smart they throw alot of money at him and bring him back.Morgan sells sleds.He's good for business.
rob7374 04-08-2003, 09:05 AM This will be interesting to watch. He has the talent to go anywhere he wants. The interesting thing though is that Jamie has reportedly baught into a Doo dealership in Manitoba. Interesting as well is that Doo dealership is also part of a John Deere dealership. Wasn't there rumors of J.D. looking at investing into Doo. Hmmm.
machz69 04-08-2003, 10:13 AM i think he is going to stay where he is. yes he might just win on anything but on a bomb just makes it that much easier...hehehe..... that is why he changed over from cat in the first place. he was tiered of all the no names right up his ### on the bombs........ ;) .... :p

There was a lot of issues where Blair wanted more freedom in racing.
In the interview w/ him in the WSA magazine, he stated he can do side deals w/ sponsors that he couldn't do while under contract w/ AC.

I was told that Polaris was attempting to sign him before he signed with ski-doo. He wouldnt' sign because Polaris said he had to wear Polaris clothing and he already had other deals with stuff to wear.
I think he will saty with doo. He said that the Revs are the best. He really likes them.
MXZonly 04-09-2003, 04:44 PM He did a live chat through his website a couple months back and I asked him several questions one of which was this same question. He told me that he wants to stay with Ski Doo and that he loves the REV and couldnt imagine riding anything but right now. He is very happy!
Sled Dogg 04-09-2003, 05:13 PM It sure would be interesting if Blair rode for Polaris!! And he would win big time on a POlaris. If the lesser riders can keep up and beat him at times on them that he would surely slaughter everyone. Polaris rideers seemed to be able to get the mighty hole shot most of the time but his skill reeeled them in most everytime also. So imagine if Morgan had the Dragon Ignition System??? ANd Like someone said who knows with what is going on at Bombi now. Polaris has the money and the new sled for next year. Morgan would be ICING ON THE CAKE!!!!!!!!!!
greatwhitenorth 04-12-2003, 10:48 AM Nothing is going to change with Morgan and ski-doo, he is going to stay with them. He wouldn't go back to cat, he wouldn't go to polaris or yamaha, who would? As far as Bombardier selling their Rec. Division, nothing is going to change with that.
Dunior 04-12-2003, 05:46 PM The clothing thing makes no sense, as Polaris factory drivers wear all different kinds of clothing, Levi, the amsoil boys etc. That's not even a issue. Don't know where he will end up I just know it won't be with Cat.
redzx 04-12-2003, 06:13 PM Skidoo lets Morgan race motocross,Cat didnt want him to race bikes,Doo paid more money,plus he has his own team.Skidoo would be crazy to let morgan go elsewhere.
Fuzzy 04-12-2003, 06:30 PM I find it odd that you can snow check a blair morgan 04 sled from a dealer but yet they haven't got him signed ?????
revrnd 04-12-2003, 08:48 PM They're just dotting the i's & crossing the t's. :D
freestyla 05-24-2003, 11:52 PM Contracts up with doo................he stayin or going?
straycat 05-25-2003, 06:56 AM blair is so good,...he could win on a snowboard.
my guess is he will stay with doo.(if they have the money)
blair will go where the money is,..... and still win.
with tucker gone now,...... he will win it all...everytime.
