    Arctic cat back in the day. Cat won every single pro sx race in the 2000-2001 season. When tucker came back to snowcross after his brake from it, he was cat’s sno cross program. After he retired in 2018 they have been non existent in the top snocross classes. 

    and they could have had a LaValle style team with him... based on some unconfirmed rumors

    you going today?  wonder how muddy the lot is going to be...

    Great link, I’d not seen that site before.

    There are only 25 teams in this year’s race, the lowest turnout since it started. Apparently racers don’t give two shits about it either. :lolz:

    whut?  o.O

    they do a great job of covering it so you can literally read one article a day and stay up to date.  it's a lot of time, training and expense to run that race.  I have a load of respect for those that do it, and Cain's quest as well.

    Just do a search for a boost RMK Khaos. They are retarded expensive. But from what I’ve watched on YouTube, a 163” Boost is the bare minimum sled required to break trail through 3” of fresh across a soybean field.

    seen them in person in a dealer, see them every week and weekend on the highway heading to do UP mountain riding and powder slaying, fortunately don't see them around here ever...

    Around here the doo dealers are buried in inventory, guys are walking away from their late spring orders, giving up their $500.  The economy has crashed, and interest rates sky rocketed since they ordered, and we haven't had ridable snow within an hour of me since late December (when the trails were closed because of a first time ever holiday hunting season)

    Local poo dealers seem to have quite a few units on the floor too, including several boost sleds.

     

    haven't done this in a while... but here's a 'new' nationwide machine count from one source

    new Cat - 26  https://www.snowmobiletrader.com/New-Arctic-Cat/snowmobiles-for-sale?make=Arctic Cat|2315236&condition=N&seller_type=dealer

    new Yamaha - 68  https://www.snowmobiletrader.com/New-Yamaha/snowmobiles-for-sale?make=Yamaha|2321194&condition=N&seller_type=dealer

    new Doo - 1,460  https://www.snowmobiletrader.com/New-Ski-Doo/snowmobiles-for-sale?make=Ski-Doo|326747&condition=N&seller_type=dealer

    Think Benham blew a belt when he was leading his first heat race. Anson was having some issues with his sled or would of also won a heat race.  Anson had to go through LCQ to even make the final.

     

    Checkers or Wreckers was really flying last night.  Could tell his knee was bothering him the first few race weekends.  Seems to be back on the pace after a few weeks off.

    Really like that track at ERX.  The lighting doesn't look very good on TV, not sure what it's like in person.

    Benham has had machine issues several times this season.  Anson was riding hard, and wrecking at the most  inopportune times.   Ishoel's knee seems better and they kept mentioning that his time in Valcourt last weekend was a turning point.  ERX is a great venue and enjoy my annual trip there... which should have been today but I'm under the weather and doing things around the house.  If I feel ambitious later I'm going to tighten some C&A loops one hole backwards on the 500.

    From the company who has stupid adjustable skis.  He's probably doing some other anal acts with the gaymobile.  Rotaxing or something.  Bracing.  Pretending he's a kinky gay foreign racer.  Etc 

    probably blowing out the clutches with an unregulated air hose... :ok:

    Honestly that video guy was trying but alot of it was vanity.  You do need to use compressed air on the spider rollers and button slide areas, that's probably the number one thing to do to maintain and save a clutch and the AC performance manual has said this also.  Something you ridiculed him for.  Not to get into a clutch cleaning debate because I don't care how you maintain your junk I just assume it's not as good as me and I don't make fun of you about it.

    of course I blow things out, clean and blow everything out again... don't get your undies in a twist

    Has there ever been a more dominating brand in snocross? Out of the top classes 12 out of 15 podiums by Doo. Going to have to make up a Tucker type rule pretty soon.

    yes... Cat in 2018 owned every class all season long.  utter domination.  

    the competition has caught up and surpassed what is essentially the same machine from 2018 give or take a few fuel injection changes.  also, the Doo talent pool is strong... and Polaris is equally good.  when you have one rider in pro (Benham) and one or two riders in pro-lite that's a statement, and it isn't a positive one.  should be interesting to see how the new Cat racer for 24 stacks up... which they should imo be racing and dialing in this season.

    I had no idea that some sleds were so delayed this year, 3 fucking years after COVID hit. 
     

    Dealers in my area have many brand new, ‘23 Boosts and 9R’s sitting in showrooms while winter ticks away. I suspect they are from buyers who backed outta their snowchecks as they watched interest rates rise. Who the fuck would pay 6-9% on a $23,000 mountain sled? 

    how is a snowmobile $23k in the first place?  is Lockheed Martin or Boeing making them? 

    the rent's gotten too high folks...

    Dang no cats in the top 5 in pro light or pro tonight 

    Doo had podium sweeps in both of the premier classes. 

    The pro field is thin, PL has six heats per night currently.  Not sure what's up with that but I would expect Lebel and a couple others to move up next year.  Muller, Palin, and ??? retired, Wittwer went down to ProLite and is struggling in that class... time for a talent reshuffle.

    What the hell guys?! The Iron Dog stated today and no one noticed? WTF? 
     

    Yeah, it started on Friday instead of the usual Saturday start because it’s that fricking bad ass and they need more time to travel the longer distance. 
     

     

    nope, didn't realize it started

    the Alaska Life typically does a great job covering it as few outside of Alaska give two shits about it.

    As long as it hits 8150 on top, I am not going to worry about it. So far all my sleds have no issue with.

    good point, save the problems for the next guy.
