Snowmobile Drags at GLD all winter long!!

[TuffEnuff]

Plus, I might add snowcross to the mix.

Anybody here with a snowmobile?

[Silver03SRT]

Not yet but i wanna buy the turbo charged polaris.

[0TransAm0]

i got a 198* somthing arctic cat 440 does that count...bought it for 100 bucks starts on the first puull and runs great..

[Silver03SRT]

as long as it moves i guess. :thumbsup

[Anakonda69]

they should let 4x4's run in the winter too that would be fun...

[JC70SS]

No such thing as a turbo Polaris.....their **** is so slow they need a turbo though!! Yeah, my buddy has a turbo RX1.....I will be getting a Mach Z.....got rid of that Arctic CRAP!! Give us some details TUFF?

[JC70SS]

Tuff, you may also want to post at hardcoresledder.com

Whoops i wasnt supposed to say anything i guess. Just wait and see. It might be on their website already.

[Silver03SRT]

Do a search they have them. I dont know if they are the race models only.

[JC70SS]

I promise you they don't have a turbo. I have had a new sled for the past 4 years and a sled since 14 yrs old. I live for sleds.

[DocDave]

'98 mach 1 here. Studded, clutched, and ready to lay down a quartermile et.

[SlowStee]

this is pretty cool! :)

[TuffEnuff]

Well it's like this...the details are still being worked out.... BUT...

I THINK it's going to be 1/8th mile and run in the grass right next to the track so, we can still have the bleachers for spectators...and the big scoreboards to show the times!

We will start with GRASS drags until the weather gets cold enough THEN we will switch to SNOW DRAGS!

*we* (the track and I) are working on getting the timing equipment right now...then I'd like to interface it with the scoreboards used by the dragstrip already.

THIS IS FOR EVERYBODY! Race your friends, your enemies, race for BEER, money, fun, ect.

once I get things going smoothly I MAY add some class racing but, I will NEVER get rid of the fun runs!

Snowcross...


Besides dragracing, I'd like to set up a snowcross track with jumps and stuff but, again, I am still working on the details. stay tuned and watch the GLD website for up to date info.


PLUS I am thinking about adding a WINDING trail course that people can time with a stopwatch!




SOOOOOOOooooo..... winter wont have to suck too bad because I am also working on a SNOW MAKING machine too!


If anybody wants to be a part of making this happen please contact me at 847-436-0333 I could use all the help I can get! PLUS if you know any place that would like to sponsor the event please let me know ASAP!

Brian

[TuffEnuff]

Quads are also welcome. :D

[TuffEnuff]

Please post this info on other sites...there just isnt enough time in a day for me to spread the word all by myself!

I need good turnouts to make this happen like the way I plan.

Did I mention that the Beergarden will be open too?

[LIL EVO]

Only in wisconsin..

[Poncho]

can we put studded tires on our cars and run too?

[Cryptic]

funny you should mention I just saw this video

Quads are also welcome. :D

Sweet! :thumbsup

And my cousin has a 1100?cc ZRT with a little shot of persuasion that I bet he'd bring down. :headbang

[juicedimpss]

this should get interesting.....my poor little 600 polaris...

[DirtyMax]

this should get interesting.....my poor little 600 polaris...

I'm sure you of all people can muster out quite a bit from your "poor little 600 Polaris" :thumbsup

[JC70SS]

Well, infact there is a new Polaris turbo for this year.....it is a "touring" model which means it is not a "performance model." :rolf

[juicedimpss]

2000 Polaris 600 XC SP here.....

Its on ebay right now, but this topic is making me reconsider!!!

Sounds like it'll be a fvckin' Blast if it's a Go! :thumbsup

[Myles]

this should get interesting.....my poor little 600 polaris...

poor little 600 my ass... you probably have it juiced by now.

[Jsho13]

I would definately be interested in this. I have two sleds that I will be racing this year. Any possibility on a ice track? I know most of the radar runs/drags are held on ice for sleds with picks and hard pack for sleds with no pics. People that are serious about racing usually have their sleds set up for ice meaning, running a speed track with about .25 lug and chissels to hook up better. This is the way one of my sleds is set up now. As a family we have 7 total sleds.

[KellY]

what yr ZRT is that???looking like the Turbo Cat might have to make and appearance down there.

[Jsho13]

Its a 99 with a Simons 1108 big bore. Fresh top end but previous owner claimed 240 engine hp. I am waiting for snow so I can break in the engine then get it tuned for the nitrous.

Nice sled but I have to stick with a yamaha for everything sled and ATVs. I ride a 98 SRX 700 triple and a 350 warrior.

i knew they did. i work at a print shop and it was a big poster that said turbo polaris snowmobile i will take a pic of it tomorrow.

We have a yamaha vector gt on order now. Should be able to pick it up in a month or so. Very strong possibility of putting a mild turbo kit on it. :shades

[JC70SS]

JSHO, I have seen that picture on hardcoresledder.....if I buy the 05 Mach like I had ordered last year we'll have to run. Come to the Milwaukee river in Mequon and I am sure my buddy with his CPR turbo RX1 would love to run that 1108 Zert. We should hook up this winter.

[whistlin six]

Wow!!! Drags and snow cross :headbang
I'm in...
I'll post this on www.johndee.com
It's a popular snowmobile site with a lot of Wisconsin members.

Take a look at my Poo, it's bone stock but fast enough for me.

yup sounds like a plan :thumbsup I will have the sled here in Milwaukee a lot this winter to test and tune with Jeff.

[KellY]

we just need to get some small thing on our ZRT-T figured out so we can run it this winter.

[Cryptic]

I had a 350 Warrior when I was in middle/high school. That thing was a blast.

Hahahahah i gotta 91 cougar LC 440, 144 ice picks, clutched, minor suspension mods, and a 30 shot with a cute little 5 lb bottle that sits behind the windshield with a heater, dual nozzles, ( one behind each carb throat in the air box) ill have to take pics soon.

Its only fast on ice :rolf it aint nothing a 700+ twin cant wipe out though :(

Joe, i work with a guy with a modded 98' ZRT600 triple that would run ya on crooked lake this winter hahah he also just picked up a full race T-cat, that makes an ass load of HP.

[JC70SS]

Tom, the modded ZRT 600 wouldn't even be a challenge. If Cedar Creek conquers me again, I will have the 05 1000cc Mach Z. This thing is 170 hp bone stock and weighs less than the triple/triples. This sled bone stock will radar between 125-130 on the gun!! A set of jaws pipes and Bikeman head will net 195hp :D The modded T-Cat may be a bit of a pain in the arse, though. Got I need snow :alcoholic

[Jsho13]

This may be true but in what distance? Sounds more like a top speed. Awesome sled though. We should set up a "run what you brung" somewhere around here this winter for fun. I will be working on setting up my F6 for ice drags this year as well. Should give most all 700's (besides F7's) a whoopin and even give some 800's a run.

[Anakonda69]

noone liked my 4x4 idea....damnit...lol

This guy ran a turbo'd RX1 with this ZRT at crooked lake this past winter, 3 times in a row and they were dead even off the line and through most of midrange, then the RX1 started pulling up top.

I havent driven alot of fast sleds, but this ZRT i was honestly scared to go past 1/4 throttle with the little to no snow on the ground when i rode cuz it would hook so good. its was insanely quick to me.

Im not saying this guys T cat would beat the RX1, but 180 hp triple outta give it a run for its money, hes gonna be doing some fancy studs and suspension stuff to make it hook best it can on ice, id image that turbo'd rx1 you know must be murder to hook, with all that torque coming on all at once.

[modmachz]

The new mach z in 1000ft will never see 123mph stock.that speed is a prostock 7 or 800...tripple.heck there is a guy with a new mach z 1000 that runs just under that with work done to it in a 1/4 mile...I am a long time doo fan with several mach z's from 800cc on up to 1100 cc and run 9.30's in the quarter mile but that costs alot of money to go that fast,my new engine should run 8.40 something when all dialed in...

[awsomeears]

Setting up a large track in the field would kick some ass :headbang

Hills/jumps/ figure 8's

Thats true but in a top speed run, it is very possible. **** 123 is killer in 1000'. My sled should be putting down anywhere between 275-280hp this winter and I am hoping for 130ish in 1000'

[JC70SS]

The new mach will not run 125 in 1000ft, rather 2000-2500ft....660-1000ft races are for wanna be's.

[DirtyMax]

660-1000ft races are for wanna be's.

So if I read this right, you're saying that getting to 130 mph in only 1000' is for pussies? I see it more like real men don't need a half mile (~2500')

[SlowStee]

the **** talking is already occurring!! this winters gonna be GREAT :D

[modmachz]

with 280 h.p you better run all of 130mph..problem being is to get it and keep the thing hooked up..our high h.p sledsrun 280-300h.p and seen speeds of 142mph in 1000ft

[Jsho13]

It hooks up real well the way it is set up. I have the limiter straps sucked all the way in, shock spacer in the rear, and a front lowering kit. I am also running a speed track with something like 274 chissels. This winter though I am going to change out the rear skid to either a Wahl Bros or a Anderson Racing. Man this has me all excited for winter already.

[Jsho13]

Back to the racing, I was just thinking this morning how badly the track is going to get torn up if the races are on snow. Just think of the starting line. And IF they decide to push more snow up to the starting box it will never pack down good enough. Just a heads up because I KNOW that sleds will tear the crap out of the starting line. It only takes a couple and you will have a pretty big hole.

They will not be running on the actual track, that would tear the **** out of it in no time flat,from my understanding it will be in front of the grandstands on the grass area...makes most sense, also were will a hot pit be set up. because there not gonna want guy's running around the actual pit area with a studded track again tearing the asphalt up,that would be the end of that real fast..

I have a few tips on your setup if you want to know,,call me sometime

No you understood me wrong. I am saying that only running a 660-1000' race is a bunch of crap. The guys I race against we do all out runs to determine top dog. I for your sled can run 130mph in 1000ft :wow :wow If that is the case as in the ZRT 1108 that is going to supposedly be 280hp :rolleyes: , good luck riding that anywhere but an ice strip.

I know that but I was talking about if you are running in snow along the grandstands, it will be down to the grass in now time. Most any sled can dig at least a 6" hole when you punch it out of the hole.

JC all that sled is designed for is an Ice track so its a completely different kind of sled. Although I can understand what you mean running for a while, when I lake race with my F6 we always run a pretty good distance

modmachz I will shoot you a PM or Call sometime soon

[juicedimpss]

Damn,the sled racing area was awesome. The launch pad held up extremely well,and thedre was plenty of room for shutdown. That polaris on the bottle was freakin insane!

[Jsho13]

????? Did they run on the grass?

[juicedimpss]

yeah, we ran 660ft on the grass in between the return road and the track, it was pretty cool racing underr the lights. our last few runs we were stacked 5 wide..

[JC70SS]

sh1t...I gotta get my sled quick!!! Good thing my kitty litter is getting picked up tomorrow!! :thumbsup

[TuffEnuff]

Did anybody get any pics from last night?

[juicedimpss]

Im sure we have some, let me try to get them uploaded...there is prob some video of the nitrous launch also..

[Jsho13]

So what do you need to wear, I am planning on bringing home my F6 next weekend. I am assuming a helmet but anything else? and cost?

[Jsho13]

anyone?

[juicedimpss]

We will be running on thursday,along with the RSD event.You will need a helmet for sure.If you have a safe-jacket it might be a good idea,but not ness. See you out there.

[JC70SS]

So this grass set-up is going already?? I should have the new Mach in a couple of weeks...studded ready to test.

not the best way to break in a sled but your call

[Jsho13]

I wont have it for this thursday but next week I will hopefully have it home.

[modmachz]

I can tell you that the track where we are suppose to race on ,,is very very rough,anything other than a stock suspension sled will not work out, not to mention a prostock or mod.I ran over that track this last saturday with my golfcart and could not find a smooth area anyplace,I have been racing for many years and that track someone is defietly gonna get hurt, unless they fill it in and smooth it out.I for one would not want to run my prostocks on there at 110 mph..big trouble just my humble opinion...Donny...

[Jsho13]

Thats ok I am running my F6 there hopefully next week. Still is pretty much stock. Never ran on grass before but it should be interesting.

[modmachz]

I really hope it all comes together,maybe they will fill in all the bad areas...

[juicedimpss]

Brian plans to smooth it out,for a stock suspension sled its not bad at all really, ive been on worse trails :)

[TuffEnuff]

Plans are in the works to smooth it out. :thumbsup Work should begin next week along with installing a timing system

In the mean time...trailsleds should have no problem running in the grass.we are just doing flag races for now until the timing stuff comes in. (Flag races were a hoot and a half too! :headbang )

[70 cutlass 442]

i think it would be an awesome setup, but i think mostly along with fun racing maybe some type of brackets should be run, what ive noticed with radar runs is whoever can get away with the most mods without being cought wins, but you dont see a bracket style run much. and if quads are an option, maybe a flat track for them or a longer trail as well like you had mentioned, just a thought

[juicedimpss]

so does anyone want to run a 600 longtrack for a beer??

[JC70SS]

sure :alcoholic

[Jsho13]

Any possibility of being able to run Tuesday or Wednesday this week?
