AKIQPilot Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hey @Zambroski WTF. Why didn't you post the results of the races from this past weekend? Wasn't this race just west of you a little bit? Park Rapids Heartland 200, have you ever heard of that race? Polaris takes the top of the podium in every single class except Masters +40 which was won my a SkiDoo rider. WTF happened to the all mighty Arctic Cat XC racing dominance? They got freaking boot stomped this weekend. https://www.usxcracing.com/index.php/results/race-results/park-rapids-2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hahahaha! Hey get this, Vince was out in Colorado this weekend riding a Polaris. He said the rental place wishes they had cats because they take the hits better but nobody has any cats and he didnt post any pictures of any just that mountain riders prefer cats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, good on Poo...they fucking spanked everyone this weekend. If Textron doesn't take notice or even care...it's over. Cat can't continue to clap together old metal and compete. What's left of their loyal racers will be gone next season if Textron doesn't step up. I'm hopeful....but also doubtful. "But...our one bangers gonna save Arctic!!" LOL...no.

Yeah because they were losing money on it and Textron said enough. That old adage "wins on race day sells on Monday" doesnt apply anymore. That sport just doesnt have the interest it used to. I can even remember the last time I watched a snoX race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That blows I honestly feel it will happen for us soon to alot of manus at least low elevation. Sleds are approaching 20k cad and winters have been iffy with all other associated costs on the rise.
