Yamaha on Winning Streak in Snowmobile Drags
(Tuesday, August 30, 2005)
Press Release -
The wins just keep coming for Yamaha snowmobiles in the popular Midwest 500-ft. grass drags. At the PSGDRA meet in Greenville, Mich., Brian Tyler jetted to Stock 600 Multi wins aboard his new 2006 Yamaha Apex on both Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile, Steve Agdorny took his new Nytro to second place in Stock 500 on both days.
The new Apex also grabbed the top two places in the Stock 600 class at the NSRA event in Princeton, Minn. on Saturday. Jerry Fix took the win over Pat Hauck, while Matt Theis came in third on his RX-1 to make it a Yamaha sweep.
Hauck turned the tables to capture Improved Stock 600 aboard his RX Warrior, with Fix second on another RX Warrior and Randy Stodola third on an RX-1. Then Jim Jones topped the Stock 600 S (single pipe) class on his Yamaha RS Vector.
In NSRA action on Sunday, Jerry Hauck and Jones finished 1-2 on their Vectors in the Stock 500 class. Randy Stodola topped Stock 600 on his trusty Yamaha RX-1, with Fix second and Hauck third on their new Apex sleds. Fix and Stodola also claimed the Improved Stock 600 class for Yamaha, with Fix aboard an RX Warrior and Stodola on an RX-1.
Also on Sunday, Allen Ulmer won the Stock 600 class on an Apex at the SDSDRA event in Wheaton, Minn. Weekend score for Yamaha: 10 wins, including four for the new Apex. Looks like a great head start for 2006!

Its all about power-to-weight ratio. Sure, the Apex is a 149-hp 1000 vs. 120 hp 600s, but the Apex also gives up 50 pounds to the 600s.
They are only running 500 feet so its not as if the Apex has a lot of room to actually use all the power it has.
For the most part 600s can beat up on 800s and 1000s in 500 ft drag races.

Even the mighty mach 1000 has a hard time with the 600s in 500 and 660'. Maybe they should put the mach with the 600s as well? Now there is an idea! Who would of thought a 2-stroke can have a little pork to it...lol

Keep in mind that it shoud have to be a 1200cc four stroke to run with a 600 cc two stroke, so per cc and power strokes the Yamaha is a stronger motor

Every time a rx1 or apex wins in these sanctioned drag races who cares. It is against 600s, how can you brag to someone that your model is killing the competition and not get laughed at. :ORC

Apex can and will kill 800cc sleds too, just wait and see..

Running on grass for a short 500' is hardly a way to judge the overall performance of a sled. No matter if it wins or loses, people will blame the Apex for being a 4-stroke if it loses or blame it for having 1000 cc if it wins.
