TEAM ARCTIC SETS HISTORIC WIN PERCENTAGES DURING 2018 SNOWMOBILE RACE SEASON

Team Green Captures More than 60 Percent of all Class wins, 50 Percent of all Podiums and 75 percent of all Championship Titles in ISOC Snocross and USXC Cross-Country

 

2018 will go down in history as one of the all-time greatest seasons for a single brand. Fortunately for us, the brand is Team Arctic.

Riding on a wave of tremendous talent, great teams/support and a pair of snowmobiles that are at the top of the game, Team Arctic put its stamp on ISOC snocross and USXC cross-country with wins, podiums and championship titles with utter domination.

Here's the perspective of Team Arctic:

 

Release-

The season is over, the numbers are in and the record books are written in Green! In national snocross and cross-country competition, Team Arctic racers and teams delivered a historic performance, capturing more than 60 percent of all class wins, more than 50 percent of all the podium positions and more than 75 percent of the high point championship titles.

“Our racers and the ZR 6000R race sleds completely dominated from the top on down, and across all classes,” said Mike Kloety, Team Arctic Race Manager. “I’ve wittnessed many great race seasons over the past couple decades, but nothing that compares to 2018.”

How well did Team Green crush everyone in the yellow, red and blue camps?

In ISOC National Snocross, Team Arctic won 95 out of 161 class finals throughout the 16-race season. That’s 59 percent of the total wins! Equally impressive, Team Green captured 264 out of 483 podium positions (54 percent) and 12 of the 14 class high point championship titles. From the season opener in Duluth, Minn., to the final in Lake Geneva, Wis., it was an all-out blitz aboard the indomitable Arctic Cat ZR 6000R SX snowmobile featuring the ProCross chassis and C-TEC2 6000 EFI engine.

The results were equally dominant in USXC cross-country, where Team Arctic captured 88 out of 140 possible class wins (62 percent), 213 out of 414 podium positions (51 percent) and 16 of 21 class high point titles (76 percent). Team Arctic racers crushed the competition aboard the same snowmobile and technology available to all Arctic Cat enthusiasts: the ZR 6000R XC in the ProCross chassis that features the C-TEC2 DSI engine plus the ARS front and SLIDE-ACTION rear suspension combo.

“For one brand to win 60 percent of all the terrain races is a testament to Arctic Cat engineers, and even more, our outstanding racers and their incredibly supportive teams,” said Kloety. “We congratulate every Team Arctic racer and crew member for being part of the most successful race program’s in snowmobiling competition.”

Racing doesn’t matter, unless it’s drunken racing on a fucking lake with 800 class hypersleds. :lol:

 

 

The iron dog is literally one of the most gruelling races and hard on equipment.  Cat only can win by dq.

Back in Barney sled days, I think they did fairly well. 

I'd rate the ID as probably #1 for sled racing.

Once a year races are fun to follow but I don’t put a lot of stock in them because so little advancements from those one-off racer developed builds actually warrant design improvements that make it to the showroom floor for the consumers.

800 class hypersled is a Oxymoron.

Does it mention that 80% of the sleds in the races were Arctic Cats? :lol: 

I'm not overly preferential to any brand but doesn't the fact that so many racers choose Cat's say something?
