teamgreen02 1,553 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 @Potatodigger1 Here is your race. There are some videos on YouTube of the early I-500s. Pretty interesting to see how they ran a race like that on sleds that hardly made a normal ride let alone a 500 mile race. Plus no real helmets or gear to handle the elements.

Get that ZR shined up and let’s go! That would be a brisk pace ride!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is same 2003 underperforming front end geometry, 2008 bulkhead and tunnel with new plastics and some nice KYBs that make base polaris W/E and LXR Cat shocks seem valved ready for snocross.

And they'll show up slathered in orange paint, again. With a tank that won't make it 65 miles. Edited September 20, 2021 by racinfarmer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My dad’s part time job is sponsoring the gds this year. I should see if I can get a pit pass. It use to be easy to get down in the pits until a sled skipped off the track and killed someone about 20 years ago. The pub 500 is actually the best race out there. That happens the Thursday before gds Edited September 20, 2021 by Not greg b Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Funny thing is, and vids have been posted, put these guys in the trees and speed is reduced by half. Frozen trees don't give much. Summer is the best time to hit them.

fortune46x 320 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Ill be sure to do a whole thread on the road trip to/from trf and uncrating - along with how many culvers stops are on the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BNG’s coming down the trail always make me me cut my break short…..or change direction. I did love mine though. Prolly the only one on my system that had the shocks adjusted after they left the dealer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But at least they'll have their quadruple adjustable rebound limiting non-rebuildable KYB shocks on their electric start sled with the 22" tv/gauge combo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t forget the adjustable carbides. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
