And with a little suspension tuning, some clutching and gearing, a little different tank and seat this thing would be an unreal XC sled.

spin_dry Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I’m surprised snowmobile racing is still an item. It’s got to be dying fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only national I go to is Canterbury. There are more people there every year it seems like. Saturday night is packed, a few less Friday night.

I don't even follow that stuff but they had to have been losing money on it for them to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is that why there would be 9 cats and one skidoo or Polaris in a heat? So cat could say "look at all of the races cat won!"? Kinda what we thought...

Zambroski Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 5 hours ago, Anler said: So the rumor must be true, cat is finally coming out with something new and that's why the 2020 is a big blah. That’s the rumor we are being led to believe. I can’t say I’m buying into it like I did though. We’ll see. 1 hour ago, DriftBusta said: Hard for me to get excited about these tiny little tracks and 30 second laptimes. I wish cross country racing was more popular, or they could host races at venues with respectable length tracks. If we are all being honest though, Even if XC is more the style we ride, SX is much more exciting. The Red Bull XC/SX race they did at ERX years ago was a perfect track for both. 50 minutes ago, AKIQPilot said: Oh My God the new RS is so bad ass.

The conversions are getting more complicated on the racers though. 38 minutes ago, teamgreen02 said: The only national I go to is Canterbury. There are more people there every year it seems like. Saturday night is packed, a few less Friday night. I’ve been hearing SX is dying as long as I’ve been hearing AC is going out of business. Best bet for sledding rumors:. Done believe people that ride a fucking Poo. Their “we can’t be #1 in sales” and always #3 on the track” little brother attitude is just fun to watch. 30 minutes ago, AKIQPilot said: Exactly.

All I see from the pictures on facebook are consumer sleds with some accessories from the catalog. no race sleds displayed and only 3 sxs/atv on display Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaris seems to have the 850 fixed. The Doo race sled is even more impressive in person. The Doo is going to be a rocket ship this year.
