  • Today we go through some shop work, as we prepare to get these bad rippers on the ice! We go over some of the main things I change or tweak to my preference for racing.
    Update! Had the part number wrong, sorry about that! Correct PN is: 8639-650

    Hey Zach
    Big fan really enjoyed this video i bleed green love my cats. Started out riding around 5 years old im now 45.
    First sled was a Yamaha 250 enticer then a 340 Polaris back to a SR5. Then a 89 MX ski doo to a 440 prowler. Traded prowler for a 89 indy 500 rode Polaris most of my teen years till around 23 maybe. Got my first F7 sno pro in 2003 never looked back been cat ever since. Iv owned 3 F7’s 2 F6’s 2 440 race sleds 2 sno pro 600’s 5 pro cross XC race sleds. Started racing on my 04 F7 won a couple on that sled against race machines. In 08 got my first new racer from cat 600 sno pro how i loved that sled. Many wins and championships here in the east on that sled. In 2010 USCC came to upstate NY were i live met pat Mach great guy we really hit it off. Didn’t have a XC racer at the time so my father got me a 2010 F6 sno pro. Ran pro 600 had fastest lap of the day but ended up second to DJ Ekra. But i was hooked raced again in Greenville Maine were DJ and i battled it out he beat me again lol!! Did some SX next couple years after but focused on XC racing after that. In 2014 won the pro open and stock championship. Unfortunately in 2017 i had to get Carpel tunnel surgery. Never raced again i miss it so much but probably never race again. Still own my 2017 ZR 6000r XC. Along with my 2010 Z1 turbo ext making 300hp.
    Hopefully i can get chance to ride a catalyst this winter.
    Some really good tips and tricks u shared very cool.
    Good luck this race season ill be watching rooting for u to win. Ur a amazing racer one of the best maybe the best XC racer Ive ever seen
    Kick ass have fun
    Thank u.

    A suspension tuning video as what your sled is doing on the track and how you correct it to your liking and how it could relate to us trail guys would be awesome

    Loving this content. Id like to hear anything more about your catalyst race sleds as you go. The moto world haa really good content for all this kind of stuff and i think there's a big itch for this in the sled world that isn't getting scratched. Ive noticed you're a true Cat guy and seem to like alot of the 90's stuff, it'd be cool to hear what really trips your trigger there and what youd like to do with sleds in your free time if you weren't factory racing.

    Thanks for this. Really appreciate the inside look for us. Fun to see and you're a great ambassador for Arctic Cat - my favorite brand. Good luck this year.

    My 16 ZR6000 has Carver valved shocks on it, love them, and a Raptor triple rate front arm spring.

      Also you should be able to put the link to your website in the community tab on your youtube channel, that would be helpful

    Would you ever build a Mod with lightweight parts like a carbon fiber skid with titanium bolts etc...

    Great insight on your behind the wrench stuff. My question is how many sleds do you use for the season? How many sleds per driver? Thanks for videos!!
