<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>I don't see why you couldn't do it. Up here in Utah, they take sleds out to the local 1/4 mile drag strip (a car drag strip) and run em. Its amazing how fast they go.....</end quote></div>

yea they do that on the show.....(PINKS)..they race them on a drag strip.....i guess they had little wheels o the skids....they also race in water!!!!!!!! they start on land then
they do wheelies into the water and stay like that and float!!!!!!!!!...while moving.

They have the wheels inside the small skis........As for the track....It is a a flat rubber slick just like what is on a drag car.........Makes it "sticky".........As for the water .......They can go for miles and miles.......paddle tracks are the best for water.........Caper.........

I saw a video of a snowmobile racing a jetski on water. in a circle track!!!

The snowmobile started on land to get speed, then hauled ***.

the jet ski was faster in the turns, but the sled was faster in the straights because of all of the "traction" due to the big track.

the sand will wear the slides out quicker then ****. waste of $ and not a good idea. keep your selds for winter. dont tear them up on the dunes trying to impress your buddies.

Some one had one doing some tricks and sand drags for Dunefest in 06' it was cool to watch but sled are expensive and I wouldn't want to ruin it.

Now if the dunes are full of snow heck yeah that would be a blast. I know some of St. A's is open in the winter time and would be a blast to take a sled up to. And it is all open until Jan. 1st until April sometime.

There is a kit that allows you to put atv tires on the front and rear of a sled, I know there is a video on youtube of the SilverLake sand dunes in Michingan that shows a guy on a sled with this setup, I will try to find it.
