FLUIDYNE® Powersports Radiator-Equipped Team Fines Double Racing, Arctic Cat's Factory-Supported Team, Won the 2010 SCORE Baja 1000 International

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (December 3, 2010) -- FLUIDYNE(r) Powersports is proud to be part of the Arctic Cat factory-sponsored racing team that conquered the 2010 SCORE International Baja 1000.

Congratulations are in order for Fines Double Racing's team captain Reid Rutherford, veteran racers Tony Valerio and Benn Vernadakis, and newcomer Agustin Maduena, who finished the 1062-mile race in 39 hours and 25 minutes, beating their closest competitor by four hours. With this win, the defending SCORE Class 26 (Limited, Utility) champions' 950cc Arctic Cat Thundercat V-Twin finished its 17th long-distance race in a row.

This year's grueling run took place over the length of Baja's primitive, ever-changing landscape. With entries from 37 U.S. states and 18 other countries, the race started in Ensenada, crossed the peninsula twice and ended in La Paz, for a total of 1062 miles.

Rutherford has been astounded with the performance and durability of FLUIDYNE(r) Powersports radiator his quad has been using: "When SCORE does full-Peninsula runs, the 1000 course gets real fast," he says. "Belt-driven quads like ours don't like these conditions because they get running really hot. With Fluidyne's radiator, this wasn't a problem. And it's super reliable. Over the past three seasons, we've put more than 6000 race miles on these units without any problems."

In addition to keeping their cool in the wilds of Baja, FLUIDYNE(r) radiators are also built more rugged to fend off damage. Constructed from aircraft-quality aluminum, structural highlights include thicker materials throughout, a CNC-machined billet filler neck, beaded hose connections for leak-proof sealing and a stainless-steel radiator caps. These components are held together with substantial TIG welds to withstand extreme conditions and produce a crash survival rate far exceeding the OEM parts.
