ZR and Mountain Snowmobiles Share Plenty of Winning
For the second weekend in a row, Team Arctic was busy chasing checkers in three different disciplines in three different states.
Enduro racers competed at the fourth and final round of MIRA Racing in Lincoln, Michigan. Cadarette Racing was the star of the 250-lap Pro Mod final again, finishing an impressive first (#21) and third (#1) on their Arctic Cat ZRs.
Western mountain racers tackled the RMSHA hillclimb in Afton, Wyo., where Team Green claimed 7 class victories, one King title and 21 podiums. The names Archibald, Tapio and Tupper were repeated several times on the podium over the course of the weekend in several Improved and Modified classes. It was Riley Kincaid who had a milestone race weekend winning Semi-Pro Modified, then clinching the Semi-Pro King of Hill title.
Former hillclimb champ, and current Black Cats backcountry Pro, David McClure, posted to his social pages, a photo of Rob Kincaid’s son, Riley, with heart felt comment, “So stoked for Rileykincaid102 to get Semi-Pro King on a sled Jason Nethercott hand-built for RmR103!!” Nethercott was the ace wrench behind both McClure and Rob Kincaid’s hillclimb race snowmobiles.
Team Arctic Race Manager, Mike Kloety said, “Our hillclimb results continue to improve with each event especially in the improved and modified classes. Cadarette Racing made it an exciting enduro season winning the last two events of the season. You just want to see more! The snocross podiums were not where we wanted them in Sioux Falls, but it wasn’t from a lack of effort and good racing / qualifying from many of our riders throughout the weekend. As you can see by the tight points race in Pro and Pro Lite, there are many that can win at any time, and it’s very difficult to have a perfect day. It will be great to see them stretch their legs at a bigger track as we return to Elk River.”
Next up, Team Arctic Cross Country racers in Park Rapids, MN, February 27-28 Snocross Racers in Elk River, MN, March 5-6.
