Can someone please explain to me the clutch tuning chart, heavy shoes and light shoes? By going to the blue clutch springs that came extra with the clutch that will increase my engagement rpm but what about the shoe setting?

If you are going to try racing this year you may not want to make any changes. RMR rules say stock clutch.
I know that they will be doing tech checks this year after some nonstock sleds in the stock sled classes last year.

My daughter is still not sure she wants to race, she'll zip around the yard like no problem but she still says she really deosn't want to race, maybe she just need to see one first. RMR rules stock clutch for stock class, she also has some other mods done. I am thinking of taking her out to the see these races and see what she thinks, who know, maybe daddy will try it out.....lol.

Start you exercising NOW.

I tried the trail class a few years ago and thought (key word) I was in shape and should do well.
After the first lap I was almost done. After the second lap I wanted to protest the white flag cause I was sure I had already completed 6 or so laps.
Half way through the 3rd lap I saw one of the corner guys looking at me with the expression "You sad old man".
It only took me 20 - 30 minutes to catch my breath then deal with the fact that I even got passed by the guy who crashed his sled way off the track. ooh4.gif

Dan, you thinking what I'm thinking. I wonder if they connected a snowmobile trail to that motor park. I know of the trail that goes pretty close to there. I'd like to try it out for shits and giggles.

Ron, I am in for trying it out, I am sure we could suck some more guys into this and have some fun. Riding there would be cool but its a little far to ride there then get beat on and then home.
