What does gas weigh a pound?

Avgas or Pump Premium?

The Polaris weight is impressive. The Yamaha track lug stated 2". Probably a typo?

Nice work boys! Now if only it was time to load em up and hit the snow.

Pins and Needles!

Sidewinder was a 3”. Ron was being yelled at to get it up “on the line”....lol

Avgas or Pump Premium?

Chrisco brought his big girl over and I was pretty impressed with the weight. No arguing with that!

Looks like the Alpha is a bit of a fatty along with the yamaha. The doo only has to pull on the rope once in the morning and then push a button the rest of the day to start it. The doo holds less fuel but had the same range as the rest due to the efficiency a true DI engine. Hmmmm........

True, it runs outta oil before gas.

Who was talking about the finger throttle today??

Ditch the Estart on the Yamaha and put your own recoil on it. Save yourself 25 lbs. Might be a bit of a bear to pull over in the mornings though. Now that would make it a man's kind of sled!

Ron and I were. I think wild rose shows was in on that conversation as well???

What’s the brand or model? Also worth while for the brake reservoir metal cover?

Munster for the finger throttle, and I think powderfreaks for the cover, they have them at Speciality.

Excellent job Ron!!!!!!

Thanks guys! A great job and interesting results. Looked transparent, accurate, and impressive that all sleds were 3" and in the 163" range. That Polaris of Chrisco's is amazing!
