I did it without studs and it wasn't too bad but I did spin more than others off the line. Its fun to just go out there and see what your sled can do!

Might have to take you up on that offer if the place I took it to doesn't do a batch of red in the near future. Just wondering, what did you do with your shocks so you could run them without springs?

i just took the springs off they run fine as long as they have the rubber bump stops on the shock shafts.
it hung the skis pretty good. the sway bar keeps the suspension pretty tight giving the arms pretty much no downward travel.
im stoked so i need to get back from this trip and work on the sled.

Oh, I get it. I never thought of that before, but I guess it works, I saw it in person at the last drags.

The floodway races are suppost to be on sunday, but with the anouncement of the portage races we are putting off the floodway drags
Oh Canada
Oct 10 2007, 05:07 PM
its too bad they have to be on the same weekend! i know its a lot of work putting races on and its also a lot of work getting sleds and equipment race ready!
If you guys do decide to keep the floodway drags on for Sunday, I know the Plap organizers would try and make it out (they have the 800r).
I talked with the organizers today and will try and post some of the general rules etc later.
