Closest drive is over 6 hrs and requires a passport. Michigan snubbed again! Maybe some new dates will pop up, but with an event already planned for every weekend into April, I ain’t holding my breath. Closest drive in the states is over 8hrs. Brutal

Doubling down on conspiring to murder. Bold strategy.

You've thought about killing a person with your vehicle for impeding you in a driving lane?

Saw that as well!

Watched the full vid as requested! I'm really excited to throw a leg over one of these.

yup

Damn, Zach almost got a podium!

The timing is off even on floracing. Apparently the 102 is actually is leading, not the 28 of Goede.

The Doo of Goede is on another level.

The next generation on sleds will get a "like" from me every time. Love it!

If I wanted to be married to the electric shield/plug it'd be a viable option. The oxygen just doesn't work well without it. Not the case for the Mission.

One thing I've noticed so far, is that the drop down tinted visor seems to have less issues if it's deployed. That's another reason I like the mild smoke lens, I can use it during all daylight hours and as long as its deployed it won't fog or ice. I think on cold days if you get sweaty the lens will fog and then ice when retracted due to moisture and heat rising.

My thought was that they know they're down on speed, so they are trying to make the oval as small as possible and staying out of trouble. Just a guess though.

That was a wild 2 lap restart on that last semi. Herfindahl got passed at the last moment finishing P4 (top 3 go on). The Cats of Herfindahl and Langaas seem completely outmatched on the straights unfortunately. Thought Herf had it but got passed like he was standing still on the straights. Certainly not lack of skill. Herf has another shot in the LCQ but they're gonna have to find more speed.

Neither the Titan nor the Mission is modular, technically.

WC sweet 16 final on now!

Oof Langaas highsides while checking up for potential disaster in front of him. Hope he's ok. Looked like he was keeping that right arm tight to his body while pulling into the pit.

Saw that as well...apparently associated with Cat engineer Ben Langaas, maybe a test mule?

It's definitely more of a mild-moderate dark imo. It's enough to cut down on bright, flat-light related eye fatigue while maintaining good contrast. With this crappy season I have limited seat time on that lens, but so far I've employed it basically the entire time during daylight hours.

Sounds like it will be broadcast on floracing too!

Fingers crossed they have a Michigan date...Cannonsburg Snocross would be perfect....hint hint AC!

That's interesting because that was one of the best winters in the last 20 years in western lower Michigan. Of course, we benefit from lake effect when it's really cold like that. Staying consistently cold is the biggest issue down here....we'll get dumped on but it'll be gone within the week. That constant cold of winter 13/14 made for some awesome riding. I prob put over 1000 miles on just riding from home.

Obviously, I struggle with this myself. I covet the Arctic Cat of old but I also understand that things just aren't the same anymore. Conversely, I don't accept Textron's handling of the brand and historically they drain and dissolve companies...make no mistake they saw blind loyalty (vs passion) as a cash cow but it clearly it isn't so simple. Doug Braswell in an interview with ACinsider said it well: "Arctic Cat fans are the most passionate. John Deere fans are the most loyal. Both customers love their machines...." Arctic Cat corporate made big mistakes but as far as Textron as a "savior"???...they have yet to convince anyone of that. Maybe the Catalyst will.

Oof. That's brutal. I know there's some Cat guys waiting on R-XCs as well and a buddy of mine can't seem to get his Polaris stop-ride recall done. The season is too short for this.
