The Race sled from every brand was basically the same sled. Cat is still the sled to beat in Cross Country so why change? For change sake? Welcome to the party... you're a little late on hundreds of post regarding the supply chain issues. Historically speaking when there are evolutionary changes coming they are built and tested with the race sleds first. Also, if not for Herfindahl (much like TH68) the old Procross in racing these days is not competitive. But you live in a little green bubble where thousands of people are riding bLasts and marketing 'the past' is perfectly acceptable. The rest of the world is moving forward. @Ziemann a Cat guy from HCS seems to enjoy his new Polaris and others have moved on to other brands as well. @Not greg b, you ordering a 2023 Cat after having dozens of them? You, and a few seem incapable of seeing past the ancient history that once WAS Arctic Cat. Hope you put your asbestos underwear on for this place.

Supposed to be like a teeter totter weather wise though. We have a Fun run (use to be called poker run) on Saturday so that will be a ride regardless of the weather. Same I have three days of riding this weekend with the boys and looking forward to it. Weather here is looking good with maybe a little snow a couple days, haven't rode too many bluebird days this year, lot of gray days and snow days but can't complain with the weather we've had overall. Snow and cold temps I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Dave Brown won the race before, on a Cat so your Herfindahl theory is already shot. Kind of like you and riding from the sound of it.

Do you need to see the receipts? Back of the napkin math on just the stock 500 is about $1400 for this season in upgrades and repair parts. Should roll 6k on it this week.

Herf just took his third straight 500. Pretty consistent with old tech. Brown won the previous race both stock and mod. Bennum won in Fargo. Lots of sleds DNF but most were from crashes. Not sure you even know your point. New does not always mean better. Cor PowerSports Race Series - Home | Facebook Lots of Polaris in the DNF even with all those new and improved updates.
