If I have made a mistake please let me know. Thanks for all the came to the lake…we had a great time…

MrSled JR came on his 250 Bravo did 50 mph on the radar and 56 top on my GPS…LOL, he had a great time too.

Just an FYI the GPS are really close to the gun readings within tenths but on occasion can get a funny reading.


I will post some pictures later...

WOW, those are awesome times. What low profile tracks were they running on those sleds and were you sucking up the suspentions for lake running??

 

[MrSled]

some pics...

Wow these sleds aren't only quick they are fast too.As strange as it sounds I would think that mid windshield would be faster than the stock ones. Air would flow alot better around a windshield than someones helmet and shoulders.There is no way you can crouch behind that stock shield.I also wonder how fast the geared down sleds would have been if they were geared up instead.I have a gt also with an ulmer stage 2 kit installed and a mid winshield.Our lake should be frozen soon so i can do some speed runs.Can't wait.

So Tom, your sled is totally stock? How many miles on it now?

 

[MrSled]

I had 78 miles on the sled before that run

By the way the hand warmers work not too bad with all that wind protection and my thin Yamaha Fleece gloves

No clutching?

 

[MrSled]

All stock baby

 

[Srxspec]

Not for long

Your gun and gps must be off, those are 4-strokes Tom. Everyone knows they have a hard time hitting the "C" note let alone a buck twenty

 

[MrSled]

LMAO....thats how good they are....OFF , I hope you are joking mighty...

It will not be stock for long....

 

[Mighty]

Jokeing, who me?? I never joke 8)
You need an emoticon with tongue in cheek

 

[Bossman]

I didn't know there were even that many sleds out there that were stock. There is so much out today it is hard to find that big of a group with basically stock sleds. Nice pics and great data. Looks like with some clutching these sled will run very well.

I was thinking of ditching the 1-1/4 ripsaw track and going with a Hacksaw 1" track.
Is this like what some of the guys here were running?

 

[Sidewinder]

As well what gearing are they using?
NOS Pro (Terry) said not to change gearing, said it is good to go.
Any new thought on this?
