Arctic Cat Prowler
XTZ Poised for Best In The Desert Championship
Thief River Falls, MN (8/31/09) - Once a race
team is the first to finish and win the Baja
1000 in the UTV class that should speak loud
enough for the team and the durability of their
Prowler. Not if you’re Jim Creagan and the
Bipolar/Arctic Cat team. Currently second in the
Best in the Desert points with three races
remaining, this hard charging Prowler team is
poised to take home another monumental
championship in the Prowler XTZ 1000.
The team’s second place finish in the recent
Vegas to Reno race came down to a neck and neck,
998 mile battle separating the two positions by
15 minutes. Deemed the longest, toughest,
point-to-point race in the United States,
danger-packed rocks, silt, sand and nastiness
were dominated by the Prowler XTZ 1000.
“Bottom line, we wanted to win, but were
really happy with the way the Prowler XTZ
performed. Our stock 1000H2 engine is seriously
fast and it makes our competitors nervous
knowing this. If we hadn’t had a couple teething
issues common to racing a new vehicle, we would
have beat the first place competitor by three
hours! It was a hell of a fun race,” said
Creagan.
Team Arctic Race Coordinator, Ted Bettin
said, “This 1900 UTV class is showing some true
racing potential. Now that competitors are
finally finishing races, the battles are raging
right up until the checkered flag drops! We’re
proud of the BiPolar Team and look forward to
the next race.”
The BiPolar/Arctic Cat team is unofficially 6
points out of first place. The next race is the
Bilek Racing Silver State 300, September 25-27,
in Mesquite, Nevada.
