Well, sorta. I was looking at some semi trailer stuff last night and came across a new trailer that Evolve (formerly Hi-Tech) had built with MDK branding all over it. Jumped onto IG and found this: https://www.instagram.com/mdkmotorsports/

Apparently Mark Kvamme has brought back the MDK branding and is racing Porsches now, doing some sort of arrive and drive/race program.

I have friends looking for semis. I found one, which was oddly enough an ex-MDK trailer that a buddy in Canada is trying to lock down now.
Still looking for one-to-two more for other people looking.
I got bored of looking through trash on Racing Junk and was seeing what new manufacturers there are at the moment.
Featherlite is something like 12-20 months out I've heard...
Evolve is the new name for what was Bruce Transporters...which was Hi-Tech. They're making a comeback.
Competition and T&E are both solid, but more known for Drag Race setups or winged sprint cars (especially T&E). There's a couple old Competitions here and there in moto, but no one has gone to them for a new trailer.
ELITE is drag racing and snowcross mostly. That's what the last Geico trailer was from them, which is now in the hands of the ClubMX guys.
Pegasus is relatively new to the game. They seem to be able to get trailers out right now so a couple drag guys went to them this year to get stuff done in tighter timelines, I think they did a new one or two for Nascar as well.
5150 is know for like late model dirt stuff, good tagpull trailers. The couple full sized semi trailers I saw from them are ehhh...
There's another new company called Turn Key Industries getting into the business but I've never seen one in person yet.
The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Free shipping: VITALMX
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
I'm no insider but I have heard many times about failure to pay a few salaries along the way. Racing Porsches is a few multiples more than running a moto team.
Don't forget about his father Floyd Kvamme who was at Kliner Perkins the VC firm. Take a look at this link below. They are both though of as good guys and very well connected. Too bad about MDK closing shop... they were very close to breaking through. They could have changed the aftermarket moto industry in a big way. Just needed two or so key people and some good advise to push it over the top. It was right there...... If you buy from Motosport.com - well you're dealing with one of Mark's funded companies.

Looks like Mark Kvamme is sponsoring Haas F1 driver Kevin Magnussen this year.
Magnussen's Helmet
Guy has plenty of money but still owes people money in the industry. WTH.
ML... Concept trailers out of Fresno... )
He was just supposed to race the 24Hr Daytona for them, recently, but he was injured.
The guy is as big a crook as they come
Pit Row
Must be nice to have FU money…..
How do we get to ride such tracks?
(I'm in missoula)
That property was sold a couple years ago and the track was flattened.
The one along the river was, yes. But the one in the mountains north of Whitefish is still there as far as I know. That is the good one.
Looks like everyone that got paid showed up for this team photo....
Would that happen to be hungry horse mx?
Don't forget Spevco in NC.
Lol no. Hungry Horse is a shit hole. Love that place though. Spun many of laps there. Hungry Horse is north of Columbia falls and Kvammes is north of whitefish.
Anyone remember NorCal fast dude Eric Mcrummen? Kid ripped and had one of the first MDK rides.
