My now brother in law picked up the brand new 02 motor, hood and seat from Special services at Cat when he worked at TSS. I made a trade with him and had them finish putting it together, so I actually broke the motor in since it was brand new yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soo sleds don’t run that many studs. There are things about "R" tracks that are far superior to regular tracks, especially when you are considering oval racing. The R rating also ensures that the inner fiberglass rod structure is adequate to support the load on the track applied by the studs. There are many races and organizations that require an R track to even participate for safety reasons, most notably the Soo I-500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
