Doing a solo run today before meeting with buds when about 35 miles out, doing 10-20 mph on a hard acceleration heard a big noise and grinding sound.After a lot of cussing I checked it over and found my drive shaft had snapped.Thank god for cell phones because I was right beside a road.While waiting for a truck to pick me up I had plenty of time to think and realize there is over 15,000 miles on my 06 gt and has no major problems and never made me walk and i'll put a new one on and be good for another 15k.The son-in laws sled which is a twin to mine is at my place and he had other things to do so use mine he said.So back out I went and the trails are flat,hard,wide and begging to me to put the hammer down.On the old rail [ bed which is 50 miles long ]with the hammer down,tac at 11,000 and speedo past the 110mph and there was a big bang and a lot of fish tailing on the back and after 300 yards I got stopped to find the track had blown off .The heat exchanger is leaking,exhaust is damaged,mudflap is done and a lot dents and scraps underneath.Had to call the truck again!!! I think I should have stayed in bed!!! 
Oh well there is 1 more sled in the shed and tomorrow is another day.

I heard that also and so i'm going to give it a break today and go buy a lottery ticket instead!!! Just heard that a sledder a 1/2 hr away lost a battle with a tree last night!!! He was 47 !!!MNBlizzard said:
I'm still here and it could have been a lot worse the more I think of it.

The guy that hit the tree was from Renfrew Ont. area,which is 1 hr. west of Ottawa.Was in Renfrew today picking up a new track and heard that he was dead before he hit the tree? Went to Timmys with the Son in law who's sled I blew the track off of and prepare him for the viewing tomorrow. 
Also bought some lottery tickets to help pay for all the damage!!!
