Honestly with as incredible as the sleds are the steepness isn't the only issue...its staying within the gates on something that steep. Hell I'd give her a rip straight up it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made them pull the 600 and put the 800 in it to run the 900 class. That slowed the sled down so much polaris stomped all over it 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the only berm left from the races a couple weeks earlier. If I was standing, probably would have tossed me over the sled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That slowed the sled down so much polaris stomped all over it If the event was lake racing and 8 out of 11 were Turbo 4 strokes and the top 3 were all 998's, it wouldn't surprise anyone nor would it be anything to gloat about. There is no competition. Now that Catalyst is out, there will be some competition next year with the 860 Turbo is complete. But nothing really to take from this event, it doesn't really mean anything at all. This year especially doesn't mean dick in terms of competition, with some single machine, cobbed Catalyst setup to compete. You can throw that right out the window, once the playing field is even the event will actually matter. Does anyone have a list of the entire field and how many sleds of each brand competed? I'm guessing its 75% Polaris? Those sleds are modded to the hills and not even close to being stock, once someone on a final production big bore Catalyst has the same power and tweaks to the chassis the competition does, it will be down to the rider.

These Hillclimb teams put alot of work into these machines, they are completely configured to the beans and setup intently for this one specific event, with a proper factory big bore engine. If any of those teams do the same thing to a Mountain version of a finalized big bore Catalyst, it would come down to the rider, although the Catalyst would have the edge with the more balanced chassis.

I always thought they pick up the sled from the dealer the morning of the race and just run it??? Are you pulling my leg here ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deephaven Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Well if Cat isn't competitive it is the system. When they are it is the sled. Classic stinki argumentation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
