I know it won't last, but definitely means it's close once colder temps settle in for good. Hopefully, once we get through the warm up next week, everything will change over for good. Of course they're forecasting a decent storm here in the next couple days (I know, believe it when we see it!) ... and then we're forecast to see mid to upper 40's by next week. The annual HOLIDAYS THAW just can't be avoided I guess. They're hiping it up for you. @Bontz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eight fiddie's have already been there done that, the poo six fiddy beats the six hundo's and cat will come in last in both six and eight two smokers. Cat 8 has already beaten the 840 at the shootout, and in the real world The doo 900 is way way down on HP, and not sure if arctic adventures can cheat enough to get it ahead, but I'm sure they are trying.

They are spending that much time and $$ to weld up scrap metal, so they can crate a sled????? Could have had an american company forge or extrude the spindles for less..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong, but wouldn't be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their normal turn around is 3 months for custom projects, they are now at 1 year and he says all of their competitors are in the same situation. It seems to be every industry these days.

krom Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Jesus you guys are slacking The turbos ran 660' because of sketchy shutdown conditions. on the Tcat's first pass it ran a lower et than the ski dud did on any of its 4 passes stock and dealer prep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 @krom - did you end up going today, or just getting the reports? Is it as shitty as they were forecasting with the warm temps?

mnstang Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 So even with a shorter run and Canada Dew having a launch button it couldn't beat the tcat? Just think of the devastation in a normal race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
