![]() ![]() The motor spits out its spent fuel through a Speedwerx coated supercharger pipe. Boost level is between eight- to nine-pounds per square inch. Horsepower for the supercharged motor, at peak rpm is 225 on pump gas. The Speedwerx supercharger has so much torque and throttle response it feels like a triple-piped race mod engine it will pull right out of your hands all day! I like the concept of the piston not going through the blower if the motor burns down. A supercharger has no lag I have boost at Idle. Kincaid: It has a Speedwerx supercharger, which is relatively new to competitive hillclimbing. McClure: I will be running new M6000 in Pro- Stock 600, Improved Stock 600, Stock 700, and Improved Stock 700 Here, he rolls his pro mod blown M8000 into a sidehill cut. Like Dave McClure, Rob Kincaid is sponsored by MotorFirst. Kincaid: 800 Stock, Pro Masters Stock, 600 Stock and 600 and 700 Improved Stock. : What RMSHA classes will you run for the 2013-2014? ![]() They figure why not have guys that ride every day and live in the gear test and develop it. I really like the gear and being involved in the testing and design of the new products. McClure: Motorfist is a new sponsor for me this year and I have been extremely impressed with this company. I’m a sponsored athlete and I’m also involved with product testing and product marketing through videos and pictures for magazines. : Tell us about your commitment to MotorFist? My goal this year is to get as many wins as I can. McClure: Hillclimb racing is where I started and I love the competition, backcountry riding is hard to gauge how good you are compared to the other guy, but racing is cut and dry. I want to win a top three championship in the stock class on my 800 and M8000 Sno Pro. I’m now 40-years old and can enter in the Pro Master’s classes. The ultimate goal is to win at The World Championship in Jackson Hole, WY. Kincaid: Attend each RMSHA event and win a points championship. : Tell us about your hillclimbing commitment to Arctic Cat – what are your goals? McClure: I’m a sponsored backcountry freerider and racer for Arctic Cat I have a good relationship with the Mountain Team and help with R&D on the new sleds. Sponsored by Arctic Cat and others, Dave McClure was signed by MotorFist to promote its high-end outer- and innerwear. ![]() I also attend snowmobile shows and promote the M-series through magazines, Facebook and Instagram. Kincaid: To promote Arctic Cat snowmobile sales and to promote how easy the M-series is to ride and in general, discuss Arctic Cat’s mountain sleds. : Tell us about your marketing commitment to Arctic Cat – what are your responsibilities? McClure: I own Cedera Landscapes, LLC where we complete custom landscape installations and maintenance. Kincaid: I have a self-owned business, Teton Custom Homes, which is a construction-drywall company. That sled didn’t owe me anything when I sold it. McClure: The first sled I won a World Championship (Jackson Hole World Championship Hillclimb) on, my 2008 M6 Improved Stocker. Now, Speedwerx has successfully harnessed this power and technology for two-stroke snowmobile engines. Supercharging has been a four-stroke motor staple as a horsepower builder for high-altitude use. Also my backcountry sled is a 2013 M8000 Pro Climb with single tuned pipe, Y-pipe and lightweight can. Kincaid: Race sled, 2005 M7 153 with Speedwerx race engine and twin pipes. : Which was your favorite – most memorable – snowmobile?

McClure: Since I was 10 years old or so, I started out on a 300 Yamaha Enticer. We learned about their background, history and snowmobiles. In between their busy schedule of racing, product development and R&D riding, we managed to gain a bit of perspective on the Arctic Cat future for mountain sleds through our recent interview with Kincaid and McClure. The team enlists Todd Tupper to help with this program as a master R&D technician, racer and additional Cat spokesperson. They compete aboard stock and modified Arctic Cat Ms on the Rocky Mountain Snowmobile Hillclimb Association (RMSHA) circuit for Team Arctic and its Captain, Al Shimpa.
