Getting your excuse handbook warmed up?? lol Usually only the losers bring that up Conditions are the same for everyone. Studded sleds usually leave harder from frozen dirt than snow.

One thing we all know, whoever has a good showing will be bragged about and whoever doesn't, the excuse handbook typically goes like this ... "Yeah, the Shootout means shit. Sleds aren't broken in yet - or the dealer setup was done by morons, etc." Hopefully you can be there to share the results "Live" like you've done a few times in the past 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstang Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 We aren't serious drag racers by no means but if I line up with buddies it's usually from a slow roll to actually see which sled is faster, pulls harder. Going from a dig there's always traction issues and it's usually not a great race and just a shit show and a waste of time. Like this shootout.

Good friend of mine pointed that out. And he is right Have you ridden an 850 vs a boost at low elevation. You are completely 100% wrong. The boost absolutely kills the 850, not even close. My son has a boost kaos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I can confirm HSR's comment ... two boosts in our group last year during our U.P. saddle bag trip. One of them being a 129" VR1 and the other an Assault. Screwing around on the railroad bed up there, and running those two sleds against a couple of XCR 850's (all of them running stock) ... it's no contest.

J. Jackson Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I'm hoping the boosted Doo with the meth bottle. I have 2 coming and one's for sale. With the Shootout being the end all as far as the performance capabilities of the participating sleds it could mean thousands in the loss/profit margin.

Guest Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Last year my son and his riding buddy went out west. My boy was on a stretched/piped/narrowed 155" 800 Assault and his buddy had an 850 Doo. My son bought the boost out west 3 days into a 10 day trip. Now his buddies 850 is up for sale and a 850 turbo is on the way. They are that much better than NA. My buddies 850 gets walked by another buddies boost everywhere, not even in the same league.

I wouldn't own either of the Doo or Poo turbo as I'm already crossing my fingers with the Poo 850. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may, but will likely still be behind as the other 2 may/will have moved on. That's a whopping 5 years where lots can/will happen.

Palu49 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Will cat get their heads out of their ass and send an 858 to the shootout or are they not confident in it is the real question now that the shootout has been brought up.

Good point, I'd like to see it run and hopefully hand the 850's their lunches. Would be a good marketing tool for next year's release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the what ifs but if it’s what you say it is keep building the hype and putting out proof to sway people with real results.
