This new company is a collaboration of three successful businessmen composed of Michel Boisclair, the first North American Distributor of ROTAX MAX engines beginning in 1999 (SRA group), Garry Lobaugh of Three Oaks, Michigan who joined as one of the first ROTAX dealers in the U.S. over ten years ago and Richard Boisclair, professional business manager and distribution expert.
