"It's paying off," added Wainer. "We've learned a lot about our machines. That knowledge will transfer down to our consumers in future models."

Wainer said Arctic Cat is also using the Tour to spread the word about its products.

"We have a strong following, but there are still a lot of people that don't about Arctic Cat; they're used to the big four Japanese companies," said Wainer. "We want to showcase we're building consumer utility quads that can be considered race ready. That's what's so great about this stock class."

"This Series is awesome," added Wainer. "The tracks are great, it's exciting to watch and the racers love it. Typically, in any other type of racing, there are three guys that dominate. In QuadTerrain Challenge, you really don't who's going to win until the checkered flag drops."
