sounds right! polaris has a supercharger on the dragon...why not put one stock on the best performing 4-stroke in the business! could be on to something there!

The snowdust looks a little fake in the last pic,lol
Mann does that sled sit high in the rear.
 
Anyone seen the TV times for any of the races for this year??? is there a webcast anywhere????
 
that is an apex with a diff windsheild,possibly 09 apex.....looks very wide under windsheild..
 
Well once you get ROOSTED by one of those sno-x guys You'll be looking for ANYTHING to duck behind.

I understand this race sleds is NOT nearly as closr to a production sled as we were lead to believe!! (but that is neither here nor there!!)

Completely different suspension, different A-arms, different plastic. Engine is making over 180hp (this is undiclosed at the moment) and weights 450....
Looks like Yamaha has stepped up their game this year.. I just wish they would support MORE racers... Perfect example is one of two gets taken out where does that leave them......

IMHO! They need at least 6 racers in both classes More iron on the track will tell them more about what they need to address!!! With NO Ski-doo XP's in the stock class (ok just a select handfull) and cat running a completely new unproven chassis... Loos REAL good for Polaris @ Duluth....

Come on Mr Taylor Show us all what 148hp can do to the rest of the class!!



(I have been asked to edit thos post... and have)

sounds right! polaris has a supercharger on the dragon...why not put one stock on the best performing 4-stroke in the business! could be on to something there!

what dragon do they have a supercharger on? Sure you don't meen a turbo?

I don't think we will see a supercharged motor in the race sled, I believe that they aren't allowed to run one in them...MAYBE a 180 hp N/A triple, like an upgraded 130 motor....time will tell..only a couple more days...

I forgot to mention it is Jimmy Blaze freestyle sled that is testing the supercharger.
