Our Story
PJ Wanderscheid is 32 years old, younger brother of Country Cat owners Mark & David Wanderscheid, started snowmobiling when he was only 3 years old on his Kitty Cat. He rode that until he got his first full size sled at age 8 on a 73 Cheetah. At age 10 he drove anything that Country Cat had sitting around from Pumas to Thundercats. PJ started racing at around age 11 on radar runs and quickly moved into grass drags at age 12 winning most of the classes he entered. At age 14 he tried his first Ice Lemans race and loved it. Next, at age 15, he won the Junior Championship for the 14-15 age bracket. The next year he moved into the Junior 16-17 class & Sport class. Mid-Season he had so many wins he was forced to move up into Semi-Pro class. His first week out in Semi-Pro he won both stock classes he entered and the rest of the year he took more wins.
Since he started his professional Ice Oval racing career in 2002 at age 18, PJ Wanderscheid and his team have won many championships.
