Chris over on bellypan hit a small one this weekend right where the one I panic stopped was.Fucked his sled up pretty good. Moose are all over up there too. Saw 5 this weekend total. Guy smacked one on the road in with a new F 350, fucked up the grill, headlight, hood, fender and bumper. It was a tiny little moose, probably a yearling. He had it in the bed.

Fucking deer ran between two of us couple weeks ago at about ludicrous speed dicing back to camp. I nearly needed a diaper change after that. Catbox was about 6 feet behind me. The afternoon before another one ran right out and I panic stopped about 4 feet from him and he just looked at me and hopped off the trail. The days of running 115 down a railbed on my Apex or SRX are done. Seen to much carnage at that speed. oddly enough I'm doing about 80 here. ive had several close calls.

Witnessed by pretty much the entire ECDL. His fucking 900 ACE pulled 101 a couple weeks ago on GPS. He has a direct line to guys at SkiDoo and a full on machine shop to make his own parts. Don't know what to tell ya. Some of these guys spend alot of time squeezing mphs out of stuff. My uncle, the one Woolie mentioned, had an SRX that owned the NSSR 700 stock world record for some time. The difference between that sled and my identical stock SRX was shocking. The would pull 130 something on ice when mine would only pull 117. Put his clutch on Woolies sled and gained like 6 MPH. I got pics somewhere of the radar guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but you have no idea what is in his sled......it could have been a fucking turbo and he aint telling. Seriously the speeds you are talking are turbo/nitrous speeds. I doubt my stage 1 skidoo turbo making 225 horse could have gone 130 on snow. Close to that but I'm not sure it could have gotten there. Rest assured there is no two stroke etec anything that could have run with that turbo sled on 6lbs boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen under the hood of the XRS and looked for nozzles and unless they are in the bottom of the throttle body, I didn't see anything. Ive ridden the XRS and it flat screws. Handled like a Ferrari too. Fuck he had a 1200 a few yrs ago that walked my 12 800 Cat at top speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like the guy loves sled and has resources and time. He sounds like my kind of guy. I'm a noob and love to learn from anyone who has something to offer. I've been trying shit for a long long time and have lots to learn......like all things I love in life I consider myself a student of the game.

My uncle machined the Yammy clutches for wider ratio. Started out lower shifted out higher for more top end. He had a guy who made 5 speed helixes. Felt like a MX bikes going through gears. His sled would literally hook up so hard it would pull your hands off the bars if you weren't consciously hold on tight. Wouldn't spin, just go.

Yup , machined for OD is a big trick on the yammi clutches as they are cut for 1:1 factory. They still do that to apexsleds today. Cat and Poo are cut for a 1.1:1 shift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll help anyone trailside with a smile on my face. Now if you dont have a spare belt or run the thing out of oil and blow it up those are a little annoying I do too, but I'm getting sick of people breaking down because they don't do simple preventive maintenance, and simple things like checking the tension on their chain. 2x this year I've had to deal with that BS. No more, I'm done with that shit. On 2/12/2018 at 9:08 AM, Zambroski said: Yep. I’m going to start making some choices with these fuck heads. ”Let me go for help..I’ll be right back”. BYE! The next group of riders can have their day....and their belt ruined. Yea, the last one thought I was going to tow him. I said, I'll be right back, I'll go get your cousin and he can tow you, since he doesn't know how to look behind him and make sure the guy behind him is still there. He can fuck up his $180 belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the midwest crew could get our shit together a little better 131 on the speedo was only about 117 actual, even on an ice track, holding the bars with one hand was a little sketch though. Did a couple runs at 120 with the mid shield cuz it was faster. Uncles maroon one was all tied down with a speed track, would run 126 all day long on the gun.
