Crnr2Crnr Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 38 minutes ago, Premium said: I think the Doos are 2.86. Aren't they also all single ply from the factory? Yeah I'm sure the clutching needs to be dialed in. While the primary idler bearing system works great for the average rider, I've always wondered if the constant compression secondary acts to prevent overdrive. For all out speed it's hard to beat the old Cat reverse cam button/roller secondary setup. They just work. idk if the Doo race sled gets a single ply or an R track tbh. what's the availability of R rated tracks this year? I know it was an issue last year at the GD Soo and many teams suffered track related issues. didn't Zach blow a non R track @Not greg b and end up spectating and drinking beer the rest of the day?

I thought that was just a dirt race up in buttfuck nowhere. Edited January 19 by AK440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about last year but the year before he blew a track right through the front of the sled and took out everything including the engine. He was up on the hill with the rest of us delirics. We offered him beer and food but I think he thought racing is safer than partying with you fools. Several other people were blowing tracks that year. Troy and Gabe got tangled up in the race the night before and screwed themselves up badly and didn’t race the actual 500. They flew in gunner last minute to ride with Spencer and Gabe’s team ran his sled without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just two weeks ago all the assclowns were saying how great conditions were and I told them don’t get used to it. Looks like snocross will be the only semi reliable form of snowmobile racing that can be done down there. Snowguns racing only. A couple more winters like this and the OEM marketing will be able to siphon even more money away from the race depts. Freedomsledder users will be making threads about which onesie is better and is a 155 better than a 163 for riding trees out west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
