  1. I've got a 390 dedicated to one customer , and a 400 with a 54oz barrel that is for odds and ends. I've run out of realestate in the existing footprint so next on the list is a expansion to add more warehousing and production.
  2. its on my list of races, every year I say this will be the year and nope.
  3. You're right , I wouldn't know anything about it , owning a Tool and die shop and injection molding company that's ISO9001:2015 certified that produces and ships parts globally makes me completely clueless on it. Do they have a podcast where I can learn all of it ? What about a podcast where I can learn how to be a drunken spectator ? because working for the series clearly doesn't give me any credibility..
  4. I can tell you that a Jig change is not as cheap as you perceive it to be and if you are adding a rib , or welding up a tool and machining it down for a revision - it is far less expensive then changing a jig - then it goes through the same papp process to be verified for production regardless if its a jig or a casting tool. I haven't listened to it yet , but I was at the event and have been to every snocross event for the last 7+ years. there was two overflow lots for pits and that has never happened in my time going to Duluth , @Ziemann and @Zambroski can chime in to the glory days of snocross and if it happened then.
  5. changing inserts to a mud set (master unit die) or a mold base is a common occurrence and is the most cost effective way to make revisions - you remove a cavity/core and replace with another - its a fraction of what a total tool build is and is the most common practice in the industry. Most molding/casting facilities use the same base and change inserts for various tools. Did you hear this on a podcast too?
  6. @bontz @deephaven Wait. There’s numbers on a website that’s being denied ?
  7. Friday night national entries: Pro 12 Pro lite 28 +30 19 womens 16 jr 14-15 28 200 68 total : 171 now they ran 3 days with the exception of the 200 class +30 and junior 14-15 - meaning they entered every day of the weekend. (sunday they had other classes that didnt run Friday that ran sunday) Regional shootout classes : 18 classes total , 30 racers invited from each each class ran, 540 racers alone that are regional racers (some of which can run national classes on Friday, Saturday, Sunday Combined for Friday was a potential of 1053 entries, There were 1038 entries total for the weekend spanning Friday - Sunday. Math is hard I understand - these numbers came right from the results of Friday Heat 1 for all national classes on snocross.com and the schedule for the regional shootout that can be found at :https://snocross.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-2024_ACS_EVENT_SCHEDULE_09_DULUTH_300PPI-2.pdf How many entries for the entire iron dog were there? 25 teams 50 racers total. The data is in front of you , unless that's only relevant when talking about climate change?
  8. There were no left overs. F8FDE48F-3775-43D9-AA98-1F5987426773.mp4
  9. do you have your american fighter shirt typing this so everyone knows how badass you are?
  10. yup... Haydays should be interesting... lol
  11. honestly I dont think anyone has suffecient data to say yes this works no it doesn't in the flat land. Conditions where so off compared to normal I wouldnt trust anyone that has a "fix" especially when the largest problem hasn't been addressed yet.
  12. you can kind of see them in the pics - the ones ran in ironwood started at the axle for the front shock and went almost to the rear axle
  13. Since last year it has ran the catalyst skid - they were bending rails and had to re-configure the shock setup - if you look at the pictures from earlier this year Dan had some huge braces on there.
  14. except its "old useless chassis" is using the catalyst skidframe..
  15. not sure what minimum build is anymore. its changed so much with our economy in the shitter
  16. Lake geneva 2012 - sleds didnt run up the hill just had a oval at the bottom of it.
  17. Knowing that sled in particular - that is a drop in the bucket and they were maintained indepth.
  18. I have had a 22, 23 and a 24 rxc and now I have the 23, 24 that I can ride back to back and I can tell you the 24 is slower than the 23 in bone stock trim. Considering the best mechanics in the industry for cat are scratching their head over the wall problem and are resorting to racing procrosses should tell you alot. near zero miles and you can tell someone who has more miles on that they're dumb and don't know what they are talking about.
