2011-2012 Snowmobile Season

Ya it’s a crap shoot, but they have about 34inches of base on the slope they are going to use for this event (Holly, their “money run”). Should hold up ok for the next couple of weeks.

I think you’re going to be running on mud.

Word through the grapevine, hill climb moved up to this weekend.

Hey dime, you got info on the Cat tether switch setup and can I get one before Friday?

Even if it’s this weekend is there going to be any snow? 60 and sunny today, almost 70 tomorrow with mix of sun and thunderstorms, mid 60’s with rain and thunder Friday, then 72 and sunny Saturday. Even the lows are in the high 40’s/low 50’s so that’s 24/7 melt going on.

This weekend according to the sign out front. :slight_smile:

I used to work there. With enough base on the main hill, it’ll hold.

i wont be going, have class saturday morning, replacing the differential in my car saturday afternoon, then working on my cousins racecar all sunday. lol.

1quikz yes you need a working tether killswitch. every sled out there racing needs one. arctic cat sells them where they just plug into the factory harness, no splicing needed. around 30 bucks i want to say. i’m pm’ing you back right now, i have a tek vest you can use if itll fit

Assuming no last minute cancellations, who’s going?

Definitely not me. Putting it away for summer hibernation this weekend.

No, fuck this. I’m taking my water scooter out for a ride on Sunday.

Ok, ok I’ll throw it and let you win.

OK, so things didn’t go exactly as I had hoped but it was a good experience and there was a better turnout than I had expected. Conditions were also much better than one would’ve thought. SnowCats pushed snow right to the parking lot and unless you really wanted to, mus was avoidable. Hill conditions were pretty good but as one would expect, 70 + temperatures and hundreds of runs took it’s toll.

My race was 1 of 1. A little distracted at the line and lost the hole shot, not to mention the Yamamobile got more than a little left and blinded me with slush so I let off. As you can see on the vid, apparently he decided there were no lanes and just liked mine better. Sad to see no nyspeeders there. Was a pretty cool event, not to mention you don’t see too many turbo’d sleds putting out over 500 hp.

First time posting video, so bear with me:


A fine selection of liquid courage in the foreground.

Took this one early on. There were at least a hundred sleds there.

That nytro moved out pretty good. But of course, yamaha’s are shitty, heavy and slow. And not reliable. :slight_smile:

Yeah, I didn’t hook as well as I think I could have. Wish I had a chance to run again.

100% elimination?

110% in my case.

Drove by there today. Nothing going on, my guess is they canceled this? Snow is going fast.

fast depends on what you think is fast. imo, thats still slow :stuck_out_tongue:

wish i couldve went to this. if it stayed on the 24/25 i couldve made it but i see no snow being around by then.

looked like a good time. Riding in T shirts on snow. :tup:

On the other hand:

There is truth to this. It’s either a new etec renegade 800 or an new apex (136 track)
