This snowmobile is believed to be 1 of 2 experimental models produced in the fall of 1978. This is the very sled that is pictured on page 123 of the book: Legend. This was raced in many cross country race events in the winter of 78-79 by Chester Boman and it still has the original Team Arctic Boman driver decal on the hood. The front suspension has a look of the Trail Cat design but is actually entirely different. Many hand-built parts and components on this sled. Arctic engineers Tubby Lund and Roger Gage created these two sleds in an effort to further test different ideas that they had regarding future model development. It has a 440 bottom end, 340 cylinders, hex-shaft clutch and hand built reverse cam driven. More information can be seen regarding this snowmobile in the winter 08-09 issue of Arctic Cat Pride magazine. This very snowmobile was also featured in the February 26 1979 issue of Snow Week Magazine.
