Dude was crazy, said that was a "mild" tune-up. That was his first run of the day, about 5 minutes after it came out of the trailer.

There is a group of about 20 or 30 guys that race 'sleds at our track. The more vehicles the better... That is possibly the quickest sled I've seen. However, my brothers bike runs 7.80 @182.

i think it makes more sense then trying to drag race sport bikes.

snowmobile has a nice low CG.... sportbike wants to wheelie
snowmobile has plenty of consistant traction.... sportbike cant use the traction it has because of its high CG, but once you make it long, and slam it and make it useless for anything else, it spins the tiny(in comparison) fuggin tire.
snowmobile, even as fast as that one, can still have a couple things swapped out, and go play in the snow... lets see you drive a slammed streched sportbike the way it was ment to be used stock....



some people dont like bikes or snowmobiles..... but i rarely meet anyone that doesnt like them for a REASON....

Not Prostock but Shootout, very similar bikes but different class. Shootout is "run what you brung" and the sponsored turbo bikes are killing everything in the class.

I think the point is the same as running anything else at the track. Run 1,320 feet as quick as the vehicle can possibly run it. I think that snowmobile is just awesome.
