Well, the ole Viper lost its track this past weekend. I thought maybe it had one more season left. Guess not. Anyway, the 136. 1.25 is coming out and a new 136 1.375 is going in. This time we are only going to stud the center of the track. We are running 1.5 studs and a few are bent and broken. Glad they have a lifetime warranty. Hopefully the new track will arrive today or tomorrow, so we can be back on the trail on Wednesday.
 

Lucky she went peacefully, watched my buddies track blow off at 120kmh, lock up then dig hard right and toss him off the sled knocking him out, caught it all in the rear view mirror.
 
After removal, we noted a small amount of damage to the front heat exchanger. The left side finns are worn and one puncture in the bulkhead from a stud. My son was very lucky. 1.5" lower and a stud would have went directly through the exchanger. Still waiting on the new track. Everything is out, studs are out of old track as well. We found 14 bent studs out of 162. Now several were missing also. ie, where the track broke and fell apart. Oh, the new track is the Cobra Version of the Camoplast track. 136 1.375"
