Polaris Dealer Conference 2009 8/9th December 2009
APVS were nominated for 'Best New Dealer of the Year 2009 - South' in our first year as a Polaris Dealer. We came runner up to a dealer who had been selling quads and ATVs for just over a year compared to our six months... so fingers crossed we shall walk away with the prestigious title next year.
We also ended our year in blinding style smashing our sales target by nearly 30%!
Weston Beach Race 2009 9, 10 & 11 October 2009
APVS staff helped man the Polaris stand at the Weston Beach Race this year. The three day event was overshadowed slightly by a horrific accident at the start of the motorcycle race on the Sunday but the two days prior to that were very successful for Polaris.
Polaris staged a demonstration of the RZR 800 on the Friday afternoon with professional drivers whizzing around the track (pictured below).
The Polaris two man team achieved first place in the quad race on the Saturday and came home with a trophy!
APVS' own Stuart Smith was then selected to demonstrate the capabilities of the RZR on the demo track on the Sunday.
APVS hope to enter a rider of our own next year. Watch this space!
