Any of you guys race snowmobiles? I was out on lake Waconia on sat for the radar runs and drag racing event. It was awesome!!. I have a friend who has a Yamaha RX1 sled. This thing has the same 1000cc motor as a R1 street bike,not only that it has a turbo. I watched him make a few passes on it at 120mph in 1000 feet. That is 320 feet less than a drag strip. So we get to talking in the pits and my buddy asked me if I wanted to make a passs,the next thing you know I'm making the first pass. This thing about threw me off, the acceleration was harder than my racecar. I get back to the pits and the slip 117 mph. Well not out done I made another pass. This time I ran 125mph just 4 mph sort of the fastest this sled had ever gone. Man in the pits these guys we going crazy, telling me "Im a nut and I need to be racing one of these sleds" Yea rite. I would kill myself. Just thought you guys would get a kick out of this. That sled ripps ass
