Thief River Falls, MN (12/2/2009)
- Arctic Cat and its factory off-road racers are
setting more “firsts” for the company
and the sport of off-road racing than anyone else.
The Arctic Cat/Fines Double Racing team (FDR)
delivered another record-setting performance at
the SCORE-Tecate Baja 1000 off-road race, winning
the 4x4 Utility ATV class aboard the powerful
Thundercat 1000 H2. The FDR team swept the entire
2009 SCORE series, including wins at the Baja
250 and 500.
The Arctic Cat/FDR team achieved their unmatched
results by pressing the advantage of the industry’s
most powerful production ATV. The 951cc V-Twin
with EFI helped provide the muscle, torque, horsepower
and acceleration necessary to dominate the demands
of high speed desert racing.
“Our Thundercats are race-proven, with
several thousand miles stacked up on the odometer,”
said team captain Reid Rutherford. “This
2009 Baja 1000 win completes 13 finishes in a
row between Nevada’s Best-In-The-Desert
series and the SCORE Off-road series. This is
our 9th Baja finish in a row, which is an unheard
of record when it comes to competing in long distance
races as brutal and unforgiving as the Baja, and
that’s something that our team, sponsors
and Arctic Cat can be proud of.”

Arctic Cat Race Coordinator, Ted Bettin said,
“We are extremely proud of the FDR team,
the historic win and championship, our ATVs and
our continued success in Baja.
“In 2008 an Arctic Cat Prowler became the
first UTV to finish and win the Baja 1000. This
year we were the first to sweep the entire series
in the ATV class. That‘s a bold statement
about the performance and durability of every
Arctic Cat ATV and UTV.”
