It all started with a Navy veteran who understood what it meant to serve others. David Weiland brought that same dedication to solving problems that mattered to snowmobile riders.
When David heard dealers and riders complaining about inferior stud products, he saw an opportunity to make a real difference. His military background taught him that excellence isn't negotiable—especially when safety is on the line.
Probably should've moved out of that garage sooner, but you know how it is when you're obsessed with making something perfect. David and Terry weren't tweaking existing designs—they created the first stainless steel stud because nothing else would cut it for serious riders like you.
Then they tackled the backer problem, bringing in engineers with over a century of combined experience. Even then, it took years to nail the polymer backer that could handle the punishment you dish out on real trails.
You should've seen those early trade show days. Father and son loading up the truck every weekend, driving all over creation trying to convince folks like you that what they'd built in that garage was worth your money.
Some weekends they'd split up just to hit more shows. Twenty-plus weekends a year of proving themselves to riders who'd been burned by inferior products before. While the guys were buried in R&D, Terry's mom Norma handled everything else. For over 25 years, when you called Fast-Trac, you talked to Norma.
We always knew our trail product could outperform anything else, but reaching riders like you was tough when gatekeepers controlled everything. The internet changed that game completely.
Suddenly we could talk directly to you instead of hoping some dealer would explain why our studs were different.
When David passed in 2017, it hit us all hard. But by then Terry's son Chris was already part of the family business. Three generations of Weilands, all understanding what matters to riders like you.
Chris and Terry are carrying on what David started—riders who understand what you face out there, building gear that won't let you down. Companies come and go, sleds change, but we're still here with that same garage-born obsession.
All that obsessive care shows up where it counts
Here's what you really need to know: when you need studs rushed for a weekend ride, we'll drop everything to get them to UPS for next-day shipping. Call us at midnight with a question? We'll answer. Christmas morning and you're prepping for a New Year's ride? We're here for you. That's not customer service—that's what fellow riders do. Our mission's simple: reach you before that icy patch changes everything. Too many riders find us after they've already crashed, and those stories keep us up at night.
You won't find us chasing quarterly profits like some corporate outfit. We're old-school family business that'll leave money on the table before compromising what you get.
Everything's built right here in the USA because that's what you deserve. Our snowmobile studs give you performance and safety—whether you're building confidence on your first sled or pushing an advanced machine to its limits.
