PreDaToR#524 would it be ok for feLLoW snow n muddeRs to ask quesTioNs some Time in the fuTuRE .. regarding your professional career as a FacTory PiLoT for arcTic - CaT and all those involved with your suPPorT and success of HiLLCLiMbinG in GeNeRaL .. This would be kooL sTuFF to haVe 1 on 1 quesTions .. PreDaTor#524 is this someTinG youR upP For ??? ..
That would be fantastic for people to ask and personal questions they have about the life of a hillclimb racer and I would love to get to know my fans a little better and maybe even inspire some to start climbing them selves! Any time in the evenings works I can answer the questions as they are asked! Cat is back baby RaWR

I have a question. Do you get to do any testing for Cat prototypes? Has anything you’ve tested been released, and if yes how long down the line was it released. Are tou testing anything currently?

As I am from Canada I have not personally rode anything, but the stuff I’ve been told is coming has been released in the past and I can’t say much about the new stuff!

with the alpha 1 I would say that they are a extremely well rounded sled and an amazing beginners sled, that are so easy to ride and the track under them is unreal, little bit weak in places which I would love to see cat improve on but we’ll see. As for what I would like to see is I would like to have a twin rail Mountain set up and a new power plant would be great also! Arctic cat is going through a rebuild it would seem but I see good things coming in the future... everybody just be patient and cat will be back!! RAWR!

Predator how do you like your clutching?
ie-Revvy down low? High engagement? Luggy so you can hear the engine rpm’s being pulled down?
I actually take a stock sled and clutch it to the way I like it, the stock clutching works pretty well for the average guy. With racing I have my drive springs and driven springs and helixes that I like and don’t like, for example I believe the stock cat spring in the drive is a 120-245 I personally like a 170-300 from slp and I like to put a relatively shallow helix in such as the stock is a straight 48 cut and I like something like a 46-42 or even a 42-38. Great question! I love when people ask this stuff so I can let them know what I’ve learned with racing and Mountain riding!

How many races a year do you do?

Any in Canada? or all in the USA?


and Would you vote for the Ozone to be next Mayor of CaLgArY?
on the average year when the border isn’t such a pain to cross there is anywhere from 7-10 races a year all in the USA, depending on snow and all that good stuff. And I would vote for ozone I think he would be a great candidate for mayor

Hey Predator. Is there a feeling in the climbing community that follows the circuit that Keith Curtis (the jackrabbit) is unbeatable? That only he can beat himself? As a Doo follower I feel we are all racing for 2nd place. Please give us your feelings on this.

There is a higher amount of contingency in the stock classes than in the improved stock amd mod classes, especially at Jackson! I don’t personally run the stock classes and haven’t won just yet but we’re getting there! Hopefully you’ll see cat back on top in a very short time we have some good young talented riders coming up through the ranks

Yes there is a small feeling that Keith is the best in the biz, but there are a few other fast guys that can’t still beat him if they have a good run, saw it happen a couple times this year! But Keith is very talented and driven to be the best and that’s why he is the best! He’s a great guy and is a true example to how we all can be around the circuit! Keith is a great ambassador for the sport and he is bridging the gap for us younger hardcore pilots coming up

If its anything like oval racing was when I raced you are doing it for experience. Lol
ahh the good old daYs .. HeYman SnoPro in todaYs game the manufactures have relized the importance and the responsibility that these factory piloTs have taken on and the rewards are life changing .. That being said a longer career and endorsmenTs can bring greaTer and bigger Rewards in all forms such as advertising through reaL LiVe ACTioN HeRos of todaY and those that have seT the foundations from the PasT .. Hope this heLps .. Double scooPs please .. Lol
