Thief River Falls, MN – Jesse and Josh West continue their winnings ways for Team Arctic, this time aboard the new 2009 700 H1 4x4. Nobody could stop the duo, or their machines at the debut Quad Terrain opener at the Sandbox Arena in New Richmond, WI.

“The new 2009 Arctic Cat ATVs are tough, and Jesse’s riding abilities make us even tougher to beat when it comes to Quad Terrain racing outdoors or indoors, said Ted Bettin, Arctic Cat race manager.

Josh West qualified first for the 14-lap final after winning both heats with Jesse qualifying second. The final turned into a brother battle as Josh led the way early on, but Jesse wasn’t far behind battling through traffic. Eventually Jesse passed Josh and checked-out until the checkered flag waved for a first place finish, while Josh held off the competition for second.

Arctic Cat has a predominantly strong presence in the Quad Terrain race circuit because its ATV chassis are so durable. During the 2006 WPSA QTC season, Daryl Rath brought home the championship aboard his 650H1. The following 2007 season saw Jesse West winning the second consecutive WPSA QTC Championship. The winning didn’t end in 2007, as Jesse debuted the all-new 700H1 SE and won the championship at the first-ever indoor Endurocross.

Jesse said, “It was nice to see my brother on the podium with me. It’s really a statement for West Racing and Arctic Cat to post an early win on the 2009 700H1 SE. The durability on these machines is second-to-none in these conditions.”  West went on to say, “The Sandbox Arena was a great place to race. The crew here did an unbelievable job at building the track. This is a venue both fans and racers love.”
