Huge dealers selling 20 sleds.. To be fair, he said local dealers, not huge dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to say when it's not your 22 grand. I doubt it's part of their business model to waste that kind of $ on an insignificant race that will provide zero return since it's so off the radar that their sleds have no eyeballs on them besides the high school media coverage. I really don't know how to prep a sled to run on miles and miles of pure mud and dirt and would feel pretty bad for the machine the whole time even if it's not mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you know what sled would work great for this! That's right we have a 7000 for 2025!!! Get Krom to set them up and meet AK440 in Waupaca for all the insider information about running dirt in Alaska. Guessing he would help out a team from the lower states? Yes I said 7000.

Far more people watch the start of the ID than any no snow, COR “ice” race, splashing around a half melted lake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkm Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 In the west, Polaris screwed themselves and customers over so hard that I know of several 100 plus sleds a year dealers that are considering dropping Polaris rather than paying flooring on MY24 sleds that no one wants. Carls has over 110 MY24 sleds left as of last week. But at least they cant sell them until the new gas cap stickers show up. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like having a boat race in a dried up lake and people find creative ways to make a boat cross land. When they could just use a wheeled vehicle.

It is pretty decent. If I needed one, I'd probably consider one. 8 hours ago, Crnr2Crnr said: meh... no one in MN apparently wants them. may as well send them up to be ridden in mud. or, wanna see if CC will sponsor us to run them in next year's ID? looks pretty easy tbh. No one in MN wants them, yet. Knock another grand off and I bet they sell quick. I'll see people out putzing around on them next winter if that happens.
