Unreliable belt drive.

They didn't have enough to go around for racers than ran in races people actually give a shit about...

Somebody in the marketing department put non ES RXC sleds for sales to consumers when they were only supposed to go to racers

So now there are a bunch owned by people who are going to bitch about them being too stiff, and some sitting unsold on dealers floors.

That doesn’t happen by mistake or accident. The not ready for prime time belt drive was purposely limited in release to racers because  DNF’s and DNS don’t tend to help selling a brand new sled.

It’s a new race season with a new chassis and the first year in a long time they haven’t been testing since November so there could be a glimmer of hope. That being said there’s not even a single decent lap time from a catalyst on that score sheet so it looks pretty dismal so far.

They aren't reporting much, Jesse Hallstrom won Semi-Pro.

He won by a mile - a literal mile.

From what I heard the skidoos were running 113-115 gps mph, and the cats were only able to get 105 out of the sled (they werent getting it to shift out fully)

Stayed at home in the race shop all day.  Holiday banquet too.  Could have done without that.

I remember Boe when he was back in the Jr 10-13 class.  Damn that seems like not that long ago.

Even when I was racing, you'd see him get off the sled and gimp around.  Great guy, but damn that body has had a lot of abuse.

I can remember watching Tucker get off his sled and limp for the first few steps kind of hunched over as he walked back to his pits , it definitely takes its toll over the years.

I didn't see your sponsorship decals on Wes's trailer, are T-shirt sales down?  

105 on ice9_9 probably overheated their left foot too... 

Doo's seemed to be cleaning house on the hole shot at Cranturbarry this weekend as well.
