I want to start this thread out by saying I really upset. I thought it would have been way more of a challenge to beat such a big sled. but it was not even close...
the story start off with me and my buddy (guy on the 600 XCSP in my older thread) riding on Lake Catherine. and as I get by the bar called the Thirsty Turtle, i look to my left and see the thundercat. the owner started pointing at me so I turned around and started talking to the guy. I told him that i have never seen a thundercat in person, he went on saying how its bone stock and how he picked up that sled, another sled and a 2 place enclosed trailer for $1500. He offered to let me ride it. I didn't really want to because i feared something would break because it was an Arctic cat, so i took it for a ride anyway. and in all honesty.... i hated everything about the sled. It was too high up, the throttle response was slow, and it didn't pull like my SRX does. i didn't even make it down the lake all the way before i turned around. i asked him to race, he said no, that he is to old for that and so is his sled, so i kind of shrugged it off. so my buddy and I left down Lake Catherine and as we turn around he is booking down the lake. so i was like WTF... why is he blasting down the lake, if he is "too old?" so i followed him until he stopped, i pointed across the lake. so we lined up and shot off. I only saw him at the starting line, i looked back half way across the lake and noticed he was pretty far back, 6 maybe 7 sleds back. so we get to the other end, and race back. i finish, and i see him stopped in the middle of the lake. so i though " why am i not surprised that an Arctic Cat is down?" so i drive back and ask if his alright. his left side of his track blew out, and punctured his heat exchanger. so he had to limp it back. he left his snow flap out there so i snatched it up, and have it as a memento
no one got hurt, (my buddy almost got hit in the head with a piece of track) and i'm wondering was that sled in bad shape and thats why i did really good? or was the 2000 year for that model slow?? I also Beat my bosses 700 arctic cat 2 up, some guys 700 ZL, a 700 xc, they thought i had motor work done :P 
sorry for such a long post, thank for who ever takes the time to read this
