This year's Baja 1000 course was the toughest in race history. An array of car-sized boulders, horrible silt sections and surprise obstacles through a 60-mile section of 4-ft. whoop-de-dos claimed many of the 347 racers.
Yet through it all, a pair of stock Arctic Cat® Prowlers, except for the required roll bars, extra night lights and King shocks and tires, beat the brutal conditions to finish first and second place in the world's longest, continuous off-road race. It's the first time in race history a side-by-side UTV vehicle has finished what is widely regarded as the most grueling off-road race in the world.
1st place - A stock 2009 Prowler® XTZ 1000 driven by Bi-Polar team co-owner Jim Creagan and co-pilot Tim Wagner (followed by driver/co-driver Chris Fallon and Aaron Bahner after 409 miles) in 27 hours and 57 minutes.
2nd place - A 2009 Prowler XTX 700 EFI with three driver/co-driver combinations: Shane Morgan and Tabor Cresap, Scott Sorenson and Justin Serface, and Casey Squires and Mike Connors in 28 hours and 13 minutes.
