finally watched the video wow, they figured out a gauge that A/C riders might like, all on their own electric is our future, like it or not. personally I'd prefer a hybrid system for when the juice runs low he could have at least ridden it around a little, in a circle or something - I wasn't expecting a drag race nice to see some innovation, and for those bitching about it - there's a 'motor' driving a track using a pair of skis to steer it - so it's a snowmobile

please post your 2020/2021 riding log. not that I'm bragging about my winter.

BRP & Polaris launching new Cross Country race sleds for 2022 to compete against the 2012 ProCross. this should be interesting if 2022 goes back to terrain racing and if Cat doesn't lose any more 'talent' Polaris Cross Country at 9:50 mark

Polaris has/had a shitload of very good riders successfully racing their sleds in Womens, Sport-Lite, Sport, Pro-Am 30+ & Pro-Lite this year. outside of the Pro class, I think they won the majority of the classes. Doo & Poo dominated the #'s game as far as sleds in the start gate this season from what I saw. Doo imo has more talent in the Pro-Class but Polaris is creeping up on them with a great group of Pro-Lite racers moving forward. Back a few years ago when Cat launched their new 136" track race sled with the 1984 Ford Escort headlight and had Tucker to carry the label they dominated the #'s game on the grid, but Doo & Poo caught up with the track/skid change, were developing racers for the future and playing the long game. Cat has Logan, Trent, Yurk and Anson right now... as of today, who knows what next season might bring. Poo and Doo have dominated every podium this season, because their long game worked when Textron pulled the plug on Snocross racing. just my opinion... but after Tucker hung up his helmet and Textron did this, the writing was on the wall and only the blind and ignorant didn't see it. https://snowgoer.com/latest-news/arctic-cat-dispels-rumors-will-continue-our-race-winning-ways/27588/ then a month +/- later, closed down the race dept. these moves cost them future dividends in the SX world Andy Pake is racing a Ski-Doo probably because racers care more about winning than they do brand loyalty... just as an example. Cross Country racing is all Cat has left to hang their hat on right now, thanks to Kloety, Herf, Selby, and company. http://www.arcticinsider.com/Article/Team-Arctic-Cross-Country-Racers-Finish-Winning-Season-–-Scheele-Headlines-Eagle-River-Snocross That said, Polaris and Ski-Doo have totally new XC racing sleds for next season, so.... time for Cat to shit or get out of the litter box

let's squeeze every last ounce of blood out of this turnip as we can... but Ramstad says the Blast has been an enormous hit in your area.

a solid stable of up and coming riders, absolutely. best machine, idk as certain aspects are still being fine tuned - so the jury is still out on that. certain teams, and more than capable racers have made them work extremely very well this year and it does not hurt one bit when 50% or more of the field is riding that brand. lmao, we only talked about it for two days before it happened. even in other threads rules have been black and white before the season began, and it's not like they are 'new' fucking rules or lack any common sense. has anyone asked how they would have reacted if the tables were turned and Melene was in the lead, went off the track and done the same? pretty sad as these two ladies battled and rode hard all season long as equals, earned a lot of respect for their class and then due to an obvious rules infraction by one of them when it came down to the wire a pissing contest ensued rather than either of them being able to applaud and congratulate each other while showing mutual respect and admiration. and, my response was funnier @fortune46x - so why ruin it with facts? Greg was in town this evening so we went out for beverages and dinner to plan how to kidnap you and drag you up to the God Damned Soo next winter. we do need to know how well you can breathe with a ball gag in your mouth, if you have any mental instability about wearing a potato sack over your head and if you have any nut allergies. if anyone cares about my opinion - crack the whip, adhere to the rules they all agreed upon and 'signed' and while you're at it start levying fines to top it off. have any of these folks ever seen F1? you can get a $100Klb fine for wearing your hat wrong from the FIA, why should ISR rules be any different? what's pathetic is when grown adults act like bigger children than the riders they are assisting. a Doo with a blown belt? say it isn't so!!! his 'four point' landing after the long jump and sprint off to the side of the track was of Jesse Owens Bruce Jenner Caitlyn Jenner caliber. Elias certainly has matured as a racer, but he's still an elf on the shelf. this one and his comment from your collection was hilarious. big plans for ditchbanging in ArkanSeeTuckyLina next winter, or are you moving back to God's country?

nice work Adam Peterson !!! Team Lavallee has their shit dialed in. look out for him in the Pro Class next season would be interesting to take the top five Pro-Lite and bottom five Pro based on points, and make them do a final-final race at the end of the season and then only the top five get to be 'Pro's' and the bottom five Pro-Lite for the following season.

there's more people off the track than on it and Ishoel, jesus...

c'mon already with the finale', I've got stuff to do...

ruins our roads and our vehicles... which are all FREE right? I mean, maybe if they salted even more we could drive 100mph in the winter also, our county implemented an additional 'wheel tax' here a couple years ago, so an extra $20 for each vehicle we own. somehow 'commercial vehicles' are exempted though? I wish they'd just mandate *winter tires* here in MN/WI/MI and lay off the fucking salt like Quebec did. Road Salt also has a deep environmental impact that seems to go unnoticed by many, for some odd reason. https://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2018/12/11/road-salt-harms-environment/

laughing... 95 was interesting too VMax-4, ZRT800, Storm and MachZ https://snowgoer.com/snowmobiles/snow-goers-1995-muscle-sled-shoot-out/2498/

'82 John Deere, Kawasaki, Moto-Ski, Polaris, Ski-Doo and Yamaha https://snowgoer.com/snowmobiles/snow-goers-1982-shoot-out/2496/ guess what won @Zambroski this ring a bell? And with all the uncertainty facing Polaris this spring — budgets tightened, veterans laid off, and announcement of Textron wanting to dispose of its snowmobile connection — the first ever shoot-out champion suffers.

what's up with Racers thanking Pit Grunt?

Curious

remember all those enormous EV/Hybrid Federal Tax breaks? chickens come home to roost eventually how about we take a deep long look at how our local, state and federal gov. foolishly WASTES all the revenue they do get. love driving 75mph in January when it's -14F? what do people think all that road salt does to our roads, bridges and our vehicles? fools... and we all pay for it.

I'd like to get out there and whoop up on those ladies in the Jr. Girls 9-13 class - pretty confident I could make top 10.

in 1986 I found a mint 1981 SRX 440 in Tomahawk Wi. the Doo dealer took in on trade, dad took one look at it and said 'not a chance in hell son' and he bought a rental Safari 377 from the Benders in Eagle River that my brother and I abused like a grand canyon rental mule instead. thanks dad

they should let the top two snowbikes compete in the Dominator, just for the hell of it. should be an interesting format, Pro-Lite gets a little head start and then they release the Pro's - time + 2 laps I believe.

I'd rock an old Interceptor, them and the original SRX/Vmax

Dominator Qualifying is on...

when I was a kid in the 70's & early 80's 70% of what we rode on was not groomed trails, because back then people that owned farm land, woods were cool about letting us make our own single track trails. a big excursion for us was making trail along the railroad bed which was still in operation, under the power lines as far as we could get and in the ditches from one buddies house to the other... and on roads riding sleds with hardly any suspension. marked trail riding was fairly limited for our group and only the kids whose parents had trailers and the financial means went riding up north. totally different world we're living in today. anyone else remember the Snow Goer shootout back in those times? I always loved how the John Deere Liquifire would get clobbered on the lake and kick the V-Max, Formula Plus and Indy's asses in the woods. then JD died, along with other great brands like Kawasaki, Scorpion and Merc. christ, I'm old. wouldn't take any of those times back but the modern iron from all brands is all 1000X better.

yup http://www.arcticinsider.com/Article/The-Hunt-for-1982-Arctic-Cat-Snowmobiles

didn't watch the video yet but according to their website it weighs about as much a a 4S with fuel and oil. 266kg / 586lbs Weight (ride ready) https://taigamotors.ca/snowmobiles/
