anybody Snowmobiling?

[Roadhog]

Ever notice how sound travels out on a frozen lake?
I don't think anyone figured out an easy way to start
a motor in sub-zero temps. Least...from all the French
being spoken, and the dim...fllldddrrrr...fllldddrrrr....flllldddrrrr
(10 mins later) fllldddrrrrr..flldddrrrr flddrrfldddrrflddrrflddrfllllddddrrrr
F#@$###& G#@#$D@#$##S&$%B%$#@@#C%$#@#$S#$@#$!!!!!

But we were use to it after practicing all Fall with our 60 lb. chainsaws.
I remember my Dad got to use the chain saw mostly....
and I was still stuck with the axe and crosscut saws.

I don't remember the make or model of our first chainsaws.
I do remember them being huge and heavy.
Still...they beat crosscutting a tree....and trimming with an axe....
good lord...all the hand splitting.

Sounds like some of those snowmobiles have pretty good sized engines. This may be a scary question but how fast do some of them go? 8)

Way over 100mph-These new engines are pushing around 150 HP and just remember you're only about 2' off the ground you're Screaming :P
Ever watch some of these guys on Snowmobiles in the Summer time running across Open Water?

Eagle River, Wi. has the World Championships and that's about 100 miles from me.
They have regular road type courses sorta like NASCAR on Snow and they have courses like cycle tracks with the Jumps and stuff. Yeah-most of the competive races have modified engines.

This is the Enemy of Snowmobiling :P

If its got a motor a guys gonna try and make it go faster! Even though the top models can pull 11's in the quarter right out of the box. I went to a snowmobile grass drag competition last weekend. Yoop alot of engines are still 2 stroke. The 4 strokes aren't being real well accepted yet. Too much weight and less torque.

Mine has 500 cc's and that's plenty enough for Moi :P
