Not greg b Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 Just got back from the ass dragger race. Some of the best racing I have seen in a while. I think it is better than an actual isoc race as they got rid of the huge jumps and made it a drivers race like back in the day. The sport class final was 17 rows deep the announcer said. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of carnage and blown motors. in the sport final they had to red flag the start and line them up again. Like 25 sleds wrecked in the first corner. I tried to up load the video of it but the file was to big. Maybe some of other ones will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to have a sled I don't give any shits about I only saw one person kinda get run over. Most of the carnage happens in the first corner and they really aren’t going very fast as it is a super sharp corner. Usually someone tips over and everyone piles into each other. By lap 3 the heard is pretty much thinned out to a normal size as 1/2 the sleds blew up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds fun to do it or even watch. I'd have to think about what machine would be best for results but also not crazy stupid zr money and the not give a shit attitude towards it. Maybe just use a Polaris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just use a Polaris! Majority of the sleds in it were purchased with in a week of the race for cheap. They asked everyone that made the podium what they would do different now that race is over. They all said work out and probably have the shocks rebuilt instead of winging it lol. It really was like getting on a time machine to the mid 90s seeing it. Another thing I learned is there is still a ton of collectible race gear that is out there especially the cat stuff. The so called rare stuff from the 90s a lot of people were racing in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it got pretty rough, did they do any maintenance track work? Yeah I probably have around 20 jackets. It's taken over an entire room of my house. Bought another jacket at the ERX swap and then got another one since then even. Definitely a gear whore I just think that stuff is so cool, at least the ones I like, not just any old crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It starts off like a groomed trail, then it gets chewed up and the moguls appear 1/2 way through the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have chased the guys down and smacked them. I'm sure neither one is intact. 8 hours ago, mnstang said: I'd otherwise be interested in doing that for fun but I'd worry a little about getting ran over by a goon.

I think the mentality it takes for some of, or most of, the people racing them I just do not get. They are wired a little different. 7 hours ago, Not greg b said: Majority of the sleds in it were purchased with in a week of the race for cheap.

I saw one that was clearly raced on Saturday for sale on Sunday morning. I am not sure who ended up needing the ambulance. I thought it was for the guy that got ran over but it wasn’t as he was drinking beer talking about it shortly after. I think it may have been from the guy that fell off the top of the berm in turn 1. It was about 8ft tall Edited February 14, 2023 by Not greg b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just use a Polaris! I was looking for a 440 Fanner for the beatercross race here which didn't work out but there were several XCF's out there one could pin to the bars around most of the track from what I saw and I'd give zero fucks over utterly destroying a Polaris, or a Doo. like this... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/581793670512873?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A8c19e86c-eb82-48b2-b4e0-c772d79f4aae good brakes, handling and suspension over raw hp 9 hours ago, Not greg b said: They groom after every heat.
