After a top industry builder stopped producing high-quality molds, Travis Neyssen decided to take matters into his own hands. D.O.A. Drag Sleds was officially established, originally focusing on creating premium carbon fiber hoods for personal use to fill the quality gap in the market.

What started as a parts business quickly shifted. Demand from other racers for D.O.A.’s superior craftsmanship led the team to begin building custom seats and, eventually, their first full-turnkey asphalt snowmobile. This year marked their transition from a component supplier to a full-scale custom sled manufacturer.

The brand's reputation was solidified on the track with a breakout performance at Brainerd International Raceway (BIR). Travis and the team secured their first major event victory, proving that D.O.A. builds weren't just lightweight and sleek—they were built to dominate the podium.

D.O.A. evolved into a multi-generational racing powerhouse. This year saw the team officially expand its roster, with Travis’s children—Jami, Blake, and Brooke Neyssen—taking active roles in the pits and on the track. The brand became a true family-run racing organization.

To meet the demands of national competition and exhibition requests, the D.O.A. racing stable grew to four full-time race sleds. This allowed the team to compete in multiple classes simultaneously and provided a platform for their expanding roster of drivers.

Travis Neyssen debuted a brand-new Pro Mod Asphalt Sled, representing the pinnacle of their engineering. This machine was showcased on national platforms like NHRA’s "Attention in the Pits," highlighting the cutting-edge technology D.O.A. brings to the asphalt.

D.O.A. Drag Sleds achieved a major cultural milestone by being featured on Discovery Channel’s Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings. Competing in exhibition races at events across the country, the team introduced the "sled life" to millions of viewers, cementing their status as the face of asphalt snowmobile racing.

Now operating as a leader in the niche, D.O.A. continues to refine its carbon fiber processes and chassis geometry. The team remains a fixture on the national circuit, consistently pushing sub-5 second passes in the 1/8 mile and shipping custom builds to racers throughout the United States.
