AKIQPilot Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Snowest in 2002 was the first sled related forum I belonged to. I joined HCS in 2003. Ive met up with 30-40 different guys from this forum and HCS over the years. Its cool finally meeting someone you have known for years but never met.

All it needed was some carb and clutch work. Just like most Polaris sleds of that era. It was heavy though. A decent running 95 xc 600 triple piped sled would give the 96 xcr fits. The Cat ZRT 600 triple was the head of the Class of ‘96 IMO. Both the 600 and 800 Zert Triples were solid sleds with little more than tuning.

Both the 600 and 800 Zert Triples were solid sleds with little more than tuning. Shock springs, weights, helix and gears. It was fun on fast wide trails otherwise a POS imo Engine wasn't bad but I think they just grabbed whatever they had on the shelf to calibrate it It was my first new slide I was so excited and I blew a belt right around 50 mi Edited March 17, 2020 by washedupmxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The half year release (95 1/2) Formula III 600 (Triple w/triple pipes) was a rocket in the 600 class for a few years. I recall DTR getting it into the mid 120's with the proper jetting. It was 8 HP stronger than the ZRT and about almost 20 over the poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here the ZRT 600 cleaned house in the big 500 mile Grand Prix races in ‘96. The FIII was fast but unreliable. The Poo was not that fast or reliable.

I remember we were racing around on the backwaters of the Mississippi late that winter and had an old radar gun we were messing around with. Buddy showed up with one. It was putting up some damn fast numbers and giving some bigger sleds fits that day. Don't recall what year but my brother had a ZRT 600. Those were fun/fast little sleds as well. Oh man those were the days. I was running a 95 Mach Z then. Clutched right with 240 studs. Damn that sled was fun.
