Old forge shootout results

[BIG BLACK WARRIOR]

Don't have time to list everything just a few results. The cat 900 turbo had a best ET of 9.275 and best mile per hour of 107.65. this was box stock. The Yamaha SRX had a best ET of 9.333 with at 110.02 miles per hour. After dealer prep the cat had an ETA of 9.378 at 106.63 miles hour. After dealer prep the SRX slow down to 9.565 ET and best mile per hour at 103.2. moral of the story don't let your dealer touch your sled. The dealer prep for the Yamahas was Excell Motorsports. Ths Skidoo 900 Ace turbo had a ET of 9.950 at 97.61 miles per hour out of the crate. With dealer prep the Doo had a ET of 9.951 at 102.03 miles per hour. Most of the 600, 800, and 850 classed were won by Polaris.

No thundercat to run against SRX they said no dealers will get them until late this month. They ran a ZR with the bigger track etc.

What dealer did the prep? That’s horrible, must be more to it. Did the track worsen during the day?

c&p from another site:

Just got a text that one of our DooTalkers Blizard laid down 122 mph in 1000' there. Might of been the best of the day. Martin at Precision Sports does it again! 1200 Turbo at 20psi is a hard trail set up to beat.

LoL these test have their limitations. The idea is great ,the intentions are great. The track got beat up so bad you can't compare one run to another depending on when the run took place.

When I do performance testing I prefer to test on ice with perfect traction. We can repeat runs to hundreds of a second and to half a mph.

Then we see exactly the gains ...then final testing in snow to confirm clutching.

For what it is , looks like the Polaris 800 & 850 put down good time/ mph , beating out skidoo & even the turbo. Which was the same results are group had in upper Michigan last year racing through the park roads , 800 pollock beat the 850 s .Apex was still out front but it was close .

 

[XP123]

I think the results are what they should be. All the 800's, 850's and 900T were very close and that makes sense because they are all close in HP. There were some differences in how the sleds were studded and reports that the Polaris sleds had been broke in and the Doo's were fresh from the crate but who do you believe?

No doubt the 998 turbo is still king but who thought the results would be different? Those with SRX's need to be careful if you race the 850 class sleds. Make sure you don't race short distances because it looks like traction could be a problem as you can see from the first run.

Here we go again xp123 please read the first post 110 mph was 1st run in stock fourm. there is no way that those 800 or 850's will run with a a winder or a zr 9000 not even close 10 mph is a ton. Not sure what the dealer prep was but may have caused a traction issue.

You need to PLEASE read the results again. The first run the SRX spun like crazy and with the 1 inch track it's no surprise. The SRX ET was 10.315 and the 900T was 9.950. I know there is no way a 900T will compete with the SRX but in certain snow conditions and the massive power of the 998 may result in some really close races with much lesser powered sleds due to lack of traction. I know this from first hand experience since I have been riding a Winder since they first came out.

Well maybe I'm reading this wrong my bad but don't they run in stock fourm first and then do dealer prep that would mean that 110 mph was on first run then the dealer prep was done and it ran slower at 103 mph I'm just going off what was in the very first post.
