Arcitc
Cat's 2007 WPSA Quad Terrain Class Champion
Jesse West |
Thief River Falls, MN (9/21/2007)
- The 2007 World Powersports Association National
ATV season is now in the books, and Team Arctic
Quad Terrain Racers placed 6 racers in the top 9
spots. Jesse West led the crew to bring home a second
consecutive Arctic Cat championship aboard his 650H1.
Jesse remarked about his results,
“I worked really hard to win this QTC championship,
and am terribly proud of this accomplishment.
I couldn’t have won it though without the
help of my family and friends in our West Racing
trailer as well as the support from Arctic Cat.
Our 650H1s are tough. I hope this second championship
showcases the punishment an Arctic Cat can withstand.
I also want to thank the fans who support us and
come out to the races. I’ll do everything
I can to put on a good show for you!”
Standing on the podium in third
place, was SPI Racing’s Rory Beckman, while
Josh West, brother of Jesse, took WPSA’s
Pro Rookie of the Year honors after finishing
6th on the season.

The championships and awards didn’t
end for Arctic Cat in the ATV division. In the
SuperSport UTV class, SPI Racing’s Kyle
Fiebelkorn wrapped up the top season points in
his Arctic Cat Prowler XT. “
I couldn’t be much happier
with how our season went,” said Arctic Cat
Race Manager Ted Bettin. “The collective
effort put forth by the Arctic Cat Factory, as
well as our racers and teams, makes this season
a success. Speed may have won holeshots this year,
but when over two-thirds of the class picks an
Arctic Cat 650H1, you know what machine is the
most durable when the track gets rough!”
So what’s next for Arctic
Cat? Bettin says, “We’re going to
come back tougher than ever next season. We vowed
that last year and brought home another championship
this year. Arctic Cat learns from racing and that
transfers to the consumer, so you can count on
our machines being stronger and faster.”
