My turbo sled with stock clutching would be 400’ ahead of your girl sled in a 660’ race. 400’ or more actually

If I rode where you rode, I wouldn't have the race sleds.  I'd have one that would smoke yours.  :lmao:

Just kidding.  I'd just quit riding altogether.  :lol:

Which one of you two have wrecked more sleds?

I've wrecked one.

Define "wrecked".  :lol:

"wrecked" meaning the chassis, nun, or modular frame part part for the A-arms, or tunnel get's tweaked or bent and it can't be ridden home.

In 2007 I piled a 2002 Ski-doo Renegade 700 into a tree near the Lake County fairgrounds.

Wow...kinda broad.  If I go with how many I've "wrecked" that couldn't be driven home I'd say three.  But I've crunched a few I was able to get home too.

My last wreck was the “Culver’s affair”.  Worst limp home I’ve ever made.  We had to stop frequently and grab dead fall to keep straightening out my A-arm to keep it from collapsing altogether.  But, that myth made it home all busted up....me too!

I had cracked this one into a set of train tracks and bent the trailing arm, both radius rods, tie rod, and put a big crack across the bottom of the bulkhead a foot long.  Drove her home, fixed her up, and played dumb selling it for a huge loss, I rebuilt the engine on this one too.

Do you believe in karma ? Maybe you,re getting some payback on that last sled you bought, and are now re-building. LOL

It's a never ending cycle with all the crashes and blown engines over the years.  Snowmobiling is bullshit.

Restoring muscle sleds however is not bullshit

A head on collision on a fucking lake?  At least one deserved to die.  My fucking god.  I'm so glad some just stay on the lakes.

There was one from new york years ago, a guy (Kyle), his dad & his wife crossing a lake at night, sleds coming the other way on the lake, one of the other sleds coming the other way hits Kyles dad head on, both died right there on the ice, the guy who hit Kyles dad his buddies took off and left scene, Kyle and his wife stayed on the ice with two dead people and two burning sleds, Kyle told his wife to ride to shore and ask someone to call for help. There was a thread on HCS about it in the new york forums I forget what his user name was.

Well 850’s are slow. You need a cat 800 to do anything. Buddy on a stock 2011 crossfire is beating poo 850’s

I would put 20-30 sleds on your 800 in a 500’ race
