Wonder who prepped the winder and what they did. Excell? Likely not a lot.

Kenny mentioned the doo guys didn't do a whole lot to the 850 in dealer prep. What is actually allowed in dealer prep?

That is actually from last seasons winter real world results. Not what happened today in NY.
I'd like to see some results. Hear the 850 was fastest in the "800" class. Cat's 800 is a real slug. Not much else out there for info.

Only times given were for 1000ft today, unprepped sidewinder in the 9.3-9.40s, 107.6-8,off the top of my head. I believe the prepped one was not as fast, seemed like track was going away during prepped runs.

If that is true,than this is a very fast SW low 9,s in 1/4 mile at 107 is very good.

The SW was a good 4 to 6 mph faster than the 160 hp class sleds .The SW was faster than the cat 9000s .Dealer prep on the doo was tightening the front skid shock .The poo and cat guys were changing clutches as tom ferry who was running the cat under estimated how much gas was in the sled so he got a rerun .Trying to save weight didn't work .The poo 144 skid works because the back 10" is bent up then it can carry the skis .The new 800 cat is a real slug .The turbos this year are in their own class as they should be .Starting line was hard dirt/ice .ETS were all close .In the 160 hp class the poo et was 1/2 a tenth faster than the doo ,but the doo had more mph .Most of the sleds were running triggers for studs also .

Looking good. We're they using the 137? If so how did they get it to transfer?
