What we do in the winter time when we can't go out drag racing... We go snowmobiling!!! My brother and I have been riding all weekend since Friday night. Our race sled, a Mach Z 800 was messed up last season in a crash. It broke several parts including the front control arms, shocks, and skis. It should be back up & running by next weekend. Here are some pics of all three of our sleds and two videos.
First Video: Me on my Formula having fun jumping a retention pond & doing some donuts.
Second Video: My brother and I racing around at our grandparents' house.

Looks like fun. 
This time of year all I do is work, sleep, eat, lift weights.

The Mach Z is high maintenance and very touchy. We're putting a turbo on it this summer though and plan on drag racing it

like i told you i bought my 2006 arctic cat F7 a couple weeks ago.
last week I wrecked it pretty bad at 80 mph up on the chain. my left arm is in a sling, fractured my shoulder
I have to go get the sled in the next day or two, it might be totaled, it flipped end over end a few times. I hit a clipped a tree stump that was in the ice. we were moving pretty fast b/c it was nite and there was alot of water holes out there, easier to be moving fast when you hit water rather than have to worry about gassing it to cross the water holes.

I have lost way too many friends on them. Riding on the ice/open water is fun, but can be dangerous. Let me know if you need any help putting it back together.
not sure what i'll do if it is totaled, might buy a new one, might not i dunno. i can just pull the studs,carbides, and riser off it and swap that to a new one.

Mad D, you say a stock MXZ800 runs low to mid 10's stock, where did you get that figure?

I have seen them run anywhere from high tens to low 10s depending on driver, weather, and model year. And Mach Z 800 not the MXZ800

yeah they are a lot of fun.. last year was a bad year though. while my dad was out of town, some1 stole our trailer with 2 snowmobiles and 2 jet skis (it was outside b/c he was going to take them to storage) and the shitty part was it was between 12 and 4 during the day!!!!!
