Extreme Motorsports motors

Can anyone help with some info on Extreme motors please? I found pretty much nothing other than a couple of winds listed in the sticky in this section.
Just got a couple as I remember seeing them in the magazines in the early 90's (I think) and I'm a sucker for nostalgia.
Some guys used them successfully in 12th circuit here in the UK IIRC, but they were not seen in off-road.
Same sticker on the two I have but different cans. One is a D2 and the other a 5.0.

For anyone interested I did get some info from some guys on FB (Mike Haswell and Jamie Booth - who both have some experience :lol: ).
Extreme motors were done by Eric Sonderquist who had previously worked for Twister, and he went on to do the Maxtec range of motors in the mid/late 90's (with backing from a guy known as 'Super Rat' apparently).
The Maxtec motors were used at the top level in off-road - Barry Baker, Greg Hodapp, William Mitchum.
Didn't get anything on Extreme race results or drivers though.
