"The old Arctic Enterprises under Lowell Swenson was growing out of control, they sold 100,000 sleds for the 1972 model year, just unheard of today. I know because I was one of those 100,000, buying a new Puma for about $995. Trouble began when he began buying too many companies. If you are old enough to remember, they bought a boat company, I believe it was Silverline, then built those hideous pink lawn mowers, which are very collectible today, they had a bicycle line, mini bike line and just figured acquiring Scorpion would make them that much more powerful and keep abreast of Polaris, which I believe was owned by Textron Industries at the time. Arctic also built one of the first personal water craft vehicles. There is nothing wrong with diversifying your business, but Arctic grew too fast and then the gas crunch came and several years of no snow, like 2012, huh, and a recession and it was just more than they could handle. We all know they went bankrupt, but fortunately a small group of dedicated people brought it back from the dead in 1983."

does Catextron still own the rights to Scorpion?  maybe CF Moto can make and sell those dirt cheap. 

I believe Certified Parts Corporation still technically owns the Scorpion name.

watching Vintage WC from eagle river now and then SX later... might as well get all the viewing I can for the overpriced privilege.

guess I forgot again how 'not exactly vintage' the vintage sleds are... most of them have more modern performance parts than a 2024 Cat SX sled... 

senior sixty and over super sport 340 fan cooled... is a mouthful, and a huge class

 @teamgreen02... it's officially Flo Racing snowmobile season 

that was Eagle River... But SX is working, for now.  

 

if Cat is done... who's going to build 120's and 200's for the kids to race?   maybe a guy should start hoarding those...

Any lawnmower manufacturer could produce those cheaply built sleds under contract. $6000 for a 200 is absurd and another reason the sport is dying. 

uh-oh... Yurks Cat died during practice and he can't get it started. 

edit; he finally got it running

Robby and Jeff?  yeah, that's going to need a bit of work.  that said and speaking as someone who's done live announcing and play by play all weekend it isn't easy and not many people are willing to even try as it takes a lot of knowledge of the sport, the people in it, what they're doing and keeping track of what's happening people can see with their own eyeballs.  it also takes a 'certain type of personality'...

 

PLite - Dillon Mikalsen Ashline

Crayden is fast, has endurance and picks damn good lines.

Pro - Ishoel Harr Kamm

RMSHA is live on Flo right now if anyone is bored ... maybe I'll spot a Selby?

nope on Wes as they're only showing the red course but he's running second to Garth Kaufman in a handful of 600 and 700 classes.  

interestingly, Cat is advertising with RMSHA on Flo with very few Cats on the hill that I've seen.
