Agree..but that was hot for 1994....let's see one of yours from 1994..lol

Me in 1994...lol...must haven't weigh more than 150 lbs..lol

I stopped sledding in 03...just before I bought the 950... Things were getting crazy...with drinking mostly...after 1 fatality and other 1 with brain injury..had to be put in a nursing home...how ever hard I tried to stop drinking and sledding..I just couldn't...figured it was just a matter of time before my number would be called...so I sold the dam thing..

Ya every little secret trick was used to get and edge on another sled ...like running automatic transmission fluid in the chain case instead of gear oil...lol....constant tickering with clutch setting..to cams..to springs...even made customs rams with a dip cut into them...it would act like a stall convert on a automatic car transmission...lol...great years and memories...lol.

The following year the other manufacturers had caught on ( 2022) with the track length...all of the big bore sleds had a similar models running...Cat had the mountain cat 1000 triple...but those were the last years of the triple..like dinausor they went extinct not long after...mostly cause of the front end weight...compared to a twin...

I can only imagine what kind of bullshit story Rich going to come up with...that his busa is faster off the line than a sled...lol.

Lol...im agreeing at 100% .. Anyway the sled had at the time...I was low on 140 ish hp...actually had 163 hp...

@busabeast...by the way...my 2001 snow machine would have destroyed your busa ...

It had these self adjusting carburetor for any altitude change...was pretty high tec for the time...it was called DPM by ski-doo..no need to mess with jets...

Quarter miles definitely ...don't know if you seen snowmobiles run on tarmac...those things are crazy fast...

Anyway...that thing would launch like 4 sled lengths before the other were barley moving out of the hole...it had 136 inch track with 1.5 inches..full block track ( had the track changed to a full block design ).it was branded has a summit 800...I pulled out a pic on the net...sure i have actual pictures of it somewheres You can see the actual difference in track length compared to that polaris next to it..

At the time all major manufacturers were running triple cylinders sleds..artic cat had the thunder cat 1000..ski-doo had the mach z triple...polaris the 800 storm triple ...Yamaha had the 700 srx triple.. Ski-doo broke the mold by going with a twin...everyone figured a 800cc twin two stroke was just not physically possible at the time..has it wouldn't be reliable for trail riding...400cc pistons spinning at high rpm..

The ultimate sled....lol. It was a 2001 ski- doo 800 cc twin..think pushing out 140 hp. It was a limited run machine made to promote the following year machine who would be called the Renegade... Back then all trail machines ran a shorter track length..this was the first year a 136 inch track was introduced ...and it blew everything off the trails...ski-doo put the works into this machine..to clutchs ..engine..everything was top notch...I learned of this model coming out...through my dealer where I bought countless machines from..we are actually good friends and at time would ride together...there was only 1 machine per dealer available and had to be pre-ordered with a deposit...

Anyway for 2001 season...it was the fastest 1/ 4 mile sled in my neck of the woods...guys would scatter like rats when I pulled up on the lacs for runs...lol..they be all saying...ffs not him again...lol

Hey I want to tell you about the last sled I owned before giving up on the sport....should I continue in the gibberish thread ?

I smoked those two polaris by the way...lol ..that was the finals...600 cc stock machines. Grew up in hay days of snowmobiles...my father was habit enthusiast....every weekend almost..drag racing events all over the province..winter time...he was never into motorcycles thoe...he race one winter for the factory team snowjet on oval track...71 or 72....just before his 160 foot plunge...

Some more old pictures...not sure who exactly took this picture of me on the open road... my twins sitting on the bike ..think the bike was only a few days old... Me in the Gaspe peninsula. Was always involved in some type of motorized sport...summer or winter... Me at a snowmobile drag event ..on the red sled.

Ya then tell me why you shaved your head...your copying my look ? Or you have a lice infestation ?

No...lol...Pete has a full head of hair...so did I back then...started loosing my hair...mid thirtys...lol.

Amber leaf..?....im guessing your rolling it yourself...I tried that many years ago...just to much of a pain in the rear for me...

10 in front...10 in the rear...lol.

And 04 standard is... And has the same suspension has and 05 S model..

I think..in my mind anyway the o4 are special...these standards were actually taller than the following years including all of the S models...

Look what you've done ...lol...you made me pull out those old pictures..lol. The pic of me sitting on the bike was actually taken by Brian Flanagan...aka flanny from orange crush...lol.

In a few years it will be considered a antic motorcycle..I plan to keep it running for has long has I can...who knows maybe someday in the future some bike collector might offer a fair offer for it...and it would be preserved for ever..that's the only way I'd consider letting it go...for it to be in a bike museum...
