So many of us know Ted Jannetty from TY and realize the real gentleman he is. He's always willing to help and share ideas where so many others wouldn't. Teddy Jr. walks right in his father foot steps and drives this crazy sled we've all come to be amazed with. Both are great guys and I enjoy their coming to OTIS for test and tune time.

I compiled various clips of Ted Sr. and Jr. tuning their RX1.
The first few are from runs on Back Lake, NH on 1-21-07. The rest are from yesterday at my house on OTIS Reservoir, Mass.
Jr. took my sled for a run or two, but the real deal is Ted's sled.
Enjoy.

He needs to bring that to North Bay for the Guiness weekend and give Yammy the Guiness Speed Record!!
 
Ross It is guys like you that make this sport possible, you put up with trucks and trailers all over your yard and street, and snowmobiles running up and down your lawn, you go out and plow 2 quarter mile strips marked off 660, 1000, and 1/4 mile.

Your a real class act, and we really appreciate you having us over.

Nice job on the Videos, I really appreciate it.

I am sure someone will ask so our times are 5.32 in 660 with 1.32 60 ft.
times.

Sled weight 566 lb., with driver 720 lb.

Still tuning.

I would like to get out there this season but I want to make sure there is some fast sleds there the day I go.

Ted that thing flat hauls the mail. The A-arms you bought from me did they go on that sled? Paul
 
A mountain guy like me usually watches videos like this and doesn't say much. But damn, that sled is movin. What do those times equate to in MPH?

There was no radar gun available that day but suspect 126-128 mph.

I think at one point in that vid I heard a 132 or something in the 130's!!!
