Pretty surprising They built 2 versions for the 1 ton...QC-1 was for trail...GP-1 was for lake racers mostly with aftermarket turbos or N2O...

Not greg b Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Watched cdsix interview. Prep work to the win the iron dog was putting a spare oil cap in his pocket. And it is pretty much a trail ride majority of the way as it is the only way. Getting the sled to run on 87 was the biggest problem because cat doesn’t care to make one run on it.

I had the same feelings but a lot of his questions seemed geared towards the time when Tim was about done the business. I think he might have been too young to experience the hard core zr days and before, so he didnt ask the right questions. I watched the Corey Davis one right after it and the interviewer had a lot better questions and seemed to have a ton more knowledge of the sport post 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How involved was arctic cat engineering and to what capacity. Ect. He did answer those questions but it was very vague and the questions weren't very probing. His answer was like I would walk across the street and they would answer any question I had. And I had them doing side jobs at night grind ports for me.

Premium Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) I agree that I would've liked to have more detail. Some of it may be Spencer's age (the interviewer) but I imagine the people he's interviewing play a big role in determining how much time and info they're willing to give. The Cory Davis episode was over an hour longer than the Tim Berg episode, for example, and a lot of the Davis one was clearly him willing to freely talk at length and detail on his own. Another aspect may be that the mystique of the brand and its demise wasn't actually all that mysterious? Between only focusing on one brand, the factory producing much better sleds out-of-the-box, complications of making aftermarket parts for EFI (and the EPA pressures), and rapidly changing sled design aspects, the company just wasn't making money anymore.

If you turn your hearing aids on he said because of the weather there you usually can’t get the parts off the air plane in time and they are worthless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By your logic, all these teams load a plane with parts even though they are useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
