\"Pontus<\/a>GLENVILLE, New York (Oct. 6, 2014) \u2014 With the national snocross opener now less than two
\nmonths away, another of the northeast’s premiere race teams is busy preparing for a five-rider assault
\non tracks throughout the snowbelt.<\/p>\n

All Seasons Arctic Cat Racing, based in Glenville, New York, has assembled a group of five
\nexperienced and talented athletes to compete for class championships on the East Coast Snocross
\n(ECS) series. The team will also run in three national events on the International Series of Champions’
\n(ISOC) AMSOIL Championship Series.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The team will field a fleet of 2015 Arctic Cat ZR race sleds out of All Seasons Arctic Cat in
\nScotia, NY, for Swedish rider Pontus Engstom (Pro Lite); Cassidy Kislowski (Pro Women); Bradley
\nTatro (Sport); Dalton Tatro (Jr. 10-13) and Theresa Max (Jr. Women).<\/p>\n

Team owner Jim Kislowski has been involved with racing for many years. The 2014-15 season
\nbrings change for him, yet his passion and enthusiasm for snocross bring a welcomed challenge.
\n\u201cI’m going to miss working with Jesse James Bonaduce,\u201d Kislowski said. \u201cBut I’m also excited
\nabout the talent and potential of this new team. I have to offer a special thanks to All Seasons Arctic
\nCat, New York’s oldest Arctic Cat dealer. We look forward to representing them and the Arctic Cat
\nbrand with pride here in the northeast.\u201d<\/p>\n

With an international flair and great depth of talent under his guidance, team manager Nate
\nTatro says he’s excited about the goals this fine group of riders can accomplish.
\n\u201cI think we’ve put together a pretty solid package for the coming season,\u201d Tatro said. \u201cI know
\nthat Cassidy and Theresa have the talent to succeed with us, given their skills. I’m also very excited
\nabout having Pontus join us this season; his record over in Sweden is pretty impressive. He’ll be a great addition to an already strong team. Bradley and Dalton have both developed as racers and are looking to run strong in their classes. We’re all anxious to get our new sleds and begin a new season.\u201d
\nEngstrom, 23, of Ostersund, Sweden, has enjoyed success in his native country since he started
\nin Junior classes. He notched multiple wins and titles in both snocross and hillcross before advancing to the next level. From 2010 through 2012, Engstrom recorded numerous wins and podiums in the
\nSwedish Championship Series. His skills are not to be taken lightly, and he could easily be a factor in
\nthe ECS Pro Lite title fight in 2015.<\/p>\n

Kislowski, 17, of Glenville, NY, won 10 finals in 2011-12 on her way to earning the Women’s
\nJr. Novice championship. The following season, she finished third at the ISOC Nationals in their Pro
\nAm Women’s class. Last winter, Cassidy suffered a severe injury during the ISOC season opener in
\nDuluth. She did, however, go on to compete in the ECS opener in Rumney, NH, where she won her
\nfirst final. She sat out the remainder of the season to complete the healing\/rehabilitation process. \u201cI’m very excited to get back on an Arctic Cat this season,\u201d Kislowski said. \u201cI’m feeling 100
\npercent phyically now and can’t wait to compete again. My father purchased a new truck and trailer;
\nall we need now is snow, the awesome new ZR and we’ll be set to go. I’m hoping for a strong season.\u201d
\nBradley Tatro, 15, of Stamford, Vermont, started racing snocross in the old Rock Maple Racing
\ncircuit in 2008-09. He earned his first podium finish in Epping, NH. in the Jr. 8-10 Freestyle class. He went on to fiinish sixth in final points. In 2009-10, Bradley won his first ISOC final in Salem, New
\nHampshire. Last winter, he competed in the Jr. 16-17 class at just 14, yet managed to finish third in
\noverall points. Bradley also raced in the Sport class, where he ran consistently inside the top 10.
\n\u201cMy goal for the 2014-15 season is to become a faster and more mature rider,\u201d Bradley said.
\n\u201cMy main focus will be on winning races and the championship. I hope to come out of this season
\nwith a title under my belt, knowing I did my best to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dalton Tatro, 13, started his snocross career in 2011-12 in the Jr. 8-10 500cc class and finished
\nsecond in the final point standings. He also competed in Jr. 10-13 380\/500cc action and came away
\nfifth in final points. In 2014-15, Dalton will be racing in the Junior 10-13 500cc and 600cc classes.
\n\u201cIn the past two seasons, I’ve been focusing on my school work,\u201d Dalton said. \u201cI’m coming back
\nthis winter with the intent of winning every class I enter. I’m very happy to be racing for All Seasons
\nArctic Cat and feel confident our team will be competitive across the board, from Pro Lite down
\nthrough to Juniors and Pro Women. This should be a solid season for us.\u201d
\nMax, 13, of Ottsville, Penn., has already been racing snowmobiles for nine years. She moved up
\nto the full-size track after five seasons of competing on a 120cc sled, where most of today’s top riders got their start. Theresa earned second and third-place finishes in the Women’s 600cc Novice class in 2013-14 and received the prestigious \u201cWomen’s Rising Star Award\u201d from ECS officials in March.
\nThe team will officially kick off its 2014-15 season on Thanksgiving weekend at the famed
\nAMSOIL Duluth National in Duluth, Minnesota. This provides a chance to shake down the new sleds
\nand \u201cshake off the rust\u201d before a new season begins in earnest in December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
