Thief River Falls, MN - Deep water holes, mud-strewn highline poles and man-size boulders. These are the conditions that the new Arctic Cat 700 H1 conquered at its debut race, while capturing the AMA/Maxxis ATV Endurocross first and third place podiums.

Coming off a WPSA championship winning season aboard his 650H1, Team Arctic/West Racing’s Jesse West outpaced the competition again to win the ATV Endurocross race in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Not only did Jesse win his heat race, and the main event, the fastest overall lap time was posted aboard his 700H1; even against the newest 450 sport quads.

The podium finishes didn’t end there for Arctic Cat. Jesse’s brother, Josh West, powered past everyone from dead last after first corner carnage, to passing the entire field for a strong third place finish.

Josh commented on his finish, “It’s great to debut the 700H1 on a technical track like this. The engine pulls so hard! I got a really bad start. One more lap and I could have passed for second place, but just ran out of time. This was a really fun track and obstacles to race on.”

WPSA National Quad Terrain champion Jesse West went on to say, “It was nice to see my brother on the podium with me. It’s really a statement for West Racing and Arctic Cat to win a championship aboard a 650H1 as well as a major indoor terrain race on a 700H1 in the same year! We’re serious about winning.”
