Can I join in on the race to turbo?

Ignoring completely everything else in this thread, there might actually be a good concept here for a new class of racing. Instead of a cross country race, imagine a 'backcountry race' involving a marked run through trees, meadows, hill climbs, jumps, and drops... Hmmmmm......

Not gonna lie I did have a similar idea for this, but instead of a marked run their could be an ending zone on a GPS so pick your path kind of thing just everyone end at the same place.

I'm putting my cash on Trashy. He'll be miles ahead of the Freak while he is pulled over jetting the Wedge every thousand feet of elevation. Lmao!!

I dont even have any jets for the wedge. I set it and forget it.

I can see that. If it never leaves the yard except to race across a lake at the same elevation why would you need jets for 8000' if it never leaves 3000'. That would be a waste of money!

Actually its jetted for 8000 ft no need to change them for a 660 ft race. That would be a waste of time.

Wow that Wedge is a magical machine. Runs just as good at 3000' as it does at 8000' with no altitude compensator.
I guess all the other sled manufacturer's wasted their money putting altitude compensator's in their machines.

There is such a heavy mass of aluminum under that hood, it would take more than a short pull to cause a lean meltdown.

However, it would be funny if it did though...

Ya you bet.
Sled technology hit it's peak in the '90's I guess.:rolleyes:
Ill try and simplify the subject for you. A 1 minute climb in the mountains will generate more heat in your motor than a 5 second drag race. Get it?
