Arctic cat dissolve their factory race team and dept?


Recommended Posts

It wouldnt surprise me for Cat to dial back the race team.  Textron inst going to dump a bunch of cash in racing for a business that isn't hitting profitability targets.

A lot more of their budgets are focused on mountain riding now.  look at how many brand ambassadors they all have riding their latest mountain sleds.  Probably a better investment dollar for dollar.

Canterbury is packed Saturday night. Crowds a little lighter on Friday night.

They cant even get on tv.....you have to stream it or watch it a day later at 1:30 PM between infomercials :lol:

It's a garbage product that snowmobilers dont even care about any more.

They are all focusing hard on mountain innovations every year.  It’s the only place there is consistent snow.

Lets face it.  Most blokes can’t ride a sled anyway so for them, putting a long track on the trail in the Midwest or jumping that 174 off in 2 feet of fresh pow is all the same.  That is when they aren’t racing across the lake to pickle themselves. .

Airs on cbs sports a couple weeks after.  

It's boring to watch on tv.  I'd much rather watch supercross.

When did the X Games drop it...I remember sitting in a bar having lunch and a few pops watching Toni Haikkonen race. Shit was pretty big back then.

I'd fucking hammer your ass down the nsst... just cause your faggot sled has nice shocks doesnt mean it can go fast. In fact the 600cc chick motor guarantees it goes really very slow :lol:

It's been several years. I loved the hill cross x games events. They ran big power big bore sleds up the hill at a high rate of speed. It was awesome

Might as well be.  Always screwing around when you have good shocks.  Not like the dollar tree ones put on most sleds.

Qs3 are the best consumer shocks I've ridden on and I've ridden a lot of them. 3 clicks and that's all anyone needs

You'd be wrong.....as usual

Anybody who doesn’t bother with clutching while “modifying” or believes his stock skis are the best things going...well, yuh....just let me pass safely before I have to scare the fuck out of you taking the inside corner.

:lol:
