Default Snowmobile at the Dunes

I always wondered what a sled would do in the sand. I could imagine it would be hard on the track and rollers and such but I bet it would run like a raped ape. Anybody ever seen this?

I saw it on TV once, they were rfacing at the dunes, they worked really good too, they were better than quads at the dunes.

I raced some mildly built banshees at a grass drag once on my 1980 Yamaha SRX 440. Needless to say it is the only snowmobiling trophy I have with a motorcycle on top of it. After kicking everyones a$$ I shot the water a couple times for $hits and grins.

I've heard about that too!! Never seen it though I have a buddy w/ a junker snowmobile he wants to take out to the dunes. If he ever does, I'll let you know when we'll be out there.

Speedy,
Do you ride at that big ATV park in Indiana? I've heard good things. How is it?

I have a buddy out of houston, tx. who bought two from "Berts Dirt Works" 1 is a polaris 750 I think snowmoblie with small front tires instead of tracks & a polaris scrammy with a 800cc snowmobile motor with some mods. This thing shreds 25" realator tires on the grass & hard packed surfaces here. It has a hard time hooking up. I think sand flats or dunes would be better running for it. I think it puts out 140-150 HP I think. But that only does good if you can put it to the track and hook up, if not a smaller HP bike can put it to you. I think that he would do better in deep sand because this flat $hit is doing him know good until he detunes it. watching it shoot roosters 100' or so. That just my 2c worth! Later! Joe
