Grew up mid-late 80's in small MB town that used to host a weekend event called "Swamp Skimming"... Mission was to drag race sleds across a small pond and pulls an oval course doing laps.. Town of 300 people and it was a big event!! There was a barge that had a crane boom on it with a winch, all sleds had a jug and rope tied to them so when they sank (which happened frequently) the barge would winch them out.. I've watched some recent vids with liquid cooled high horse machines - these relics were 440 fans and it was all the sled could do to cross.. HAHA - i can still remember a couple of the riders names - local legends on water..
Think it would be cool to strip down the XM and go out on the long weekend and blast some laps around Chesterslew...
I've done short stints in the ditches and such but never crossed a large body of water... I'd like to try.. What would it take to build such a machine? Long track/short track what's best and why?
