September 19 - Now that Montana has advanced to the Pro-Lite Division and has been getting attention nationally for his achievements, it's time that we revamp the design of the web site. Now that the Onion is going Arctic Cat green, the new site design will reflect the colors of the Thief River Falls, MN Arctic Cat brand. The new site design is again being handled by Mike Key of Xsite Web Designs and should be launched before we make the trip out west to Duluth in November.

Westminster, MA (August 30, 2012 ) Montana Jess a 15 yr. old native out of Westminster, MA has signed with Team Arctic Cat. After much success on his Ski-doo, Montana will be on a new Arctic Cat Sno-Pro 600sx for Team Arctic, in the Pro-Lite division for ECS and Sport at ISOC Nationals.

Arctic Cat has had their eye on Montana for the past 2 years and after watching him out West they knew it was time to contact him as he was moving up to Pro-Lite for ECS. In late May Mike Kloety, Team Arctic Race Manager, contacted Montana to fly out to Yellowstone to test the Cat with national pro rider's; Logan Christian, Cody Thomsen and Garth Kaufman. Montana was able to ride the 2012 and 2013 sleds and could feel and see the improvements that where made and the dedication put forward by the engineers at Arctic Cat.

"I'm really excited about my switch to Arctic Cat from Ski-doo. I feel like I joined a family of racer's and friends. I felt confident after my first ride, the Arctic Cat engineers showed me firsthand in testing that the 2013 is vastly improved. I love how nimble it felt and how well it cornered. Team Arctic Cat has given me a great opportunity," said Jess.

"Arctic Cat wants to improve our presence in the East, we have watched some talented young drivers the last couple years. We've kept a close eye on Montana's success in the Eastern race circuit. We were able to get him out testing and he adapted quickly to the 2013 Sno Pro 600. Being confident in the sled is very important when making a switch like this. Montana will make a great addition to the Pro-Lite division in Snocross as well as our family and we expect positive results," said Mike Kloety, Team Arctic Race Manager.
