Starfire Kids Magazine Covers
The Starfire Kids and the Midnight Blue Express got a lot of press coverage back in the day. They were almost always on the cover of the big magazines. But that’s no surprise, because your way more likely to get photographed if you win.
And if you’re not winning, you still get your photograph taken if your machine looks awesome. The Polaris team had both going for them!
Here’s some examples.
