hi sorry guys(gals)yamaha and TY friendsFirst off i would like to thank all of you for your help guidence and advise as well as all of you comments im still not sure How ill do but its my game now.
Sorry I have not been on here and wow this trend took off. I work 7-3-7-4 and work 15 to 18 hrs a day so i dont have a load of time .yes I'm for real and so is the race ,my 99 srx as far as im concerened is in tip top running cond.I know with more monney ,time and money i could get it better but if im going to do that i would rather just buy a newer sled, everything is clean and adjusted to a t .I do take pride in my tunning and adjusting . I have to correct myself at top speed with my current set up im running 8300-8400 rpm>>>!!sorry the 87 was not a typo but as i was reading an article here on some1se sled at 87 and it stuck in my head as i typed should have read my own post the first time I guess.
I have raced the sled for many years and years of tweeking ,AS far as 1 here saying the 99 is the slowest year made well I'm all over a 2002 srx hes clutched and piped and reeds as well.also i have a friend with another 99 srx and i kill him everytime he wants me to tune his (NOT) hahahaha.I am and so are my friends very impressed with my sled I have smoked 3 diff summet 800's 1 summet 700.1 polaris xlt600, 2 polaris rmk 800,and an indy 8<these are guys my friends I ride with from off the line and full on lake run,some of them get a jump on me off the line depending on hookup but if they do i hunt them down very quickly.last yeay i did a 300 ft with the summet8 he jumped me off the line !?@ sled lenght i pulled him across the finish line,ALL THESE SLEDS out perform me in the powder of course unless were all on floatation at top speed. .
I have grass draged , ice draged,hill climed summer and winter,compition and bragging rights at the track and with friends done open water runs and played with the idea in powder with friends. right now with my set up top speed is 185kms an hr 1/4 mile radar run im 230lbs.I was faster with stalk 1" track but there is more powder up here in alberta than back east.
MY track is not studded but i do have a studded track 1" with 192 studs.that was my ice track or hard pack trail (none of that here ) The lake where we are going to be racing is mixed hard powder and drifted with lots of sled marks there already (which im heading for hahah).
I am not about to spend more money on my sled (more so if im gona loose it) my sled is strong and i feel good my friends think i can take him. but ive never hooked a f7 and i know they are fast, look fast, and the guy im racing even though he rides with us has never hooked me or any of us for that matter he sits and watches and he usually rides middle to rear of the pack.which is unsettling.I have seen him playing and running down the lake and he looks daauum fast sounds fast with that stinger as well.(everything looks fast when watching).I dont really think ill keep his sled if i win (I HOPE) but im not sure if he will keep mine or not. you all know how these things happen out on the trail YA maybe we both took it tooooo far this time but its still fun.,If i loose than ill be buying a nes sled a faster 1 try and win it back lol. if i DO WIN HE WILL never live it down agn i dont care if its just by a ski loop a wins a win.. this weekend its happening this is my 4 days off and im going out to practice and do any tweeking i need to do
I'm feeling pretty good but nervious as well .I wanted some BIAS opinions from all you yamaha fans out there which i got .some are sure some doughtfull,some hopefull..and that was what iI was looking for thanks guys .I'll keep you posted .I'll also send in some pics of my sled and the race soon as i can .......... THanks agn play hard fast and as safe,as safe as ur top end allows ..
