Bulloch takes second place in the King of
the Hammers Pro UTV class in the 2015 Arctic
Cat Wildcat Sport 700 SxS / UTV |
The race started with 34 UTVs, and after 120
miles of flying through the sand-washed desert,
charging up rock-laden hills and crawling through
boulder-strewn canyons, only two of the UTVs finished
in the allotted time. And in second place was
the Arctic Cat Wildcat 700 Sport proving it was
the versatile King of every Terrain.
Dean Bulloch emphatically said on the podium,
“Being the underdog in a brutal race like this
makes our successful 2nd place finish even sweeter.
The real story is how tough and capable these
60-inch Wildcat 700 Sports are off the showroom
floor! Arctic Cat has built one mean Wildcat and
we just proved it!”
“The Wildcat 700 Sport is relatively new to the
60-inch ROV market for 2015, and we aren’t surprised
by its lightweight prowess and durability in these
conditions. We’re very proud of the hard work
and representation Dean and Karl have put forth
for Arctic Cat,” said Tracy Crocker, VP and General
Manager ATV’s. “These guys are great drivers and
their results show what happens when you combine
their talent with a great machine.”
