Ripsaw speed on turbo sled?

[KnappAttack]

Guys, I want to know how fast you've been with this track on your turbo sled and if, and/or how its studded. I blew one last year on the lake at only 132 on the dreamy meter. It was studded with 144 all double backers including outside bands. After installing a new ripsaw without studs that evening, I took it to 145 on dreamy meter the following day without incident. I am thinking about studding the new sled with 162 studs including the outside bands and see how it works this year. I was ratching bad and that could have been the reason for its demise! It did not let go on the stud lines, but at the fiberglass rod location. Broke it right strait across. Kip advised me last year to only stud the center. I know it won't stand a chance of hooking up without studding the outside bands though. Has anyone expirenced any other failures with the ripsaw? Mike Knapp#17

the real damage comes when you have no brakes and it trys to spin around on ya
