Near as I can see forward there won't be enough terrain races to catch up even if Cat can manage to snag a victory or two. I guess this is what happens when you design and engineer a sled for the mountains and trail riders first and then try to make it work for racing. 2012 anyone?

Did they give the fast one to the sport guy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner was not on a catalyst. so the new gearing 'for racers' Jimbone claimed made them slower? 2 minutes ago, airflite1 said: I just don't understand this, Jimmy said it was so dominant, that even stock last year it was cleaning up in the Mod class, did it suddenly get slower or did the racers get complacent thinking they had it in the bag and not do any setup?

fortune46x Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Did anyone tell the cat crowd to put on the super secret belt and cover and make sure the helix is at #1 setting ? on a side note for any of you racers out there - 2023 .5 hours and no miles 30,000 no low ballers I know what I got (the only way apparently a ice race can be won is with a procross) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski-Doo has done the same thing since ‘08. They are far and away #1 in sales and kicking ass in snox. They need more racers on yellow for XC races. Of course you guys need this stuff called snow to do any riding/racing. That’s going away more and more every season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
