This is one of my favorite photos of Roger Skime from 1962 as he first started his career at Arctic Cat.
I truly appreciate the photos from John Sandberg, founder of ArcticInsider. Here, he captured Roger racing the 1999 I500.
And another Sandberg captured of Roger racing the 2010 I500. Both races have similar stories of Roger deciding to race the evening before, and posting successful results when he finished.
This is another of my favorite photos. John Sandberg captured this one of Roger and his wife Bernice at Skime Ranch after we spent the day riding the RS Edition ZR’s around their property.
Many photos and countless stories have been shared regarding Roger on the pages of ArcticInsider. If you have the time, type his name into the SEARCH function on the website homepage to relive some of those. They’ll bring a smile to your face. Happy Birthday Roger! I hope you have a great day.
Happy Birthday from the East Coast Roger! Have a great day.

Happy Birthday Roger! Thanks to your devotion to CAT, that has made my winters so enjoyable. Wishes for many more Happy Birthdays.
Sid,
I don’t know how Roger chose 255, but I do know how he chose the number 66X! He was 66 years old when he was racing the I-500 that year. Since the number 66 was already taken, he simply added an X behind it. Awesome guy for sure!
Happy birthday Roger from the farm country of central Michigan. I’ve long admired you and your path to success. May you enjoy many more happy birthdays to come.
Happy Birthday Roger from a long time fan from northern Maine! Best wishes for a great day!
