I had an '81 Arctic cat Jag, 440 cc kawasaki engine, single carb. That tops out at 84 mph.

We used to run on Pecks Pond ( Poconos in PA ) and the Pen Argly race team had their drag sleds up there tuning.

We go screaming past them wound tight and they would time their launch when we were even. ( keep in mind I'm doing 80+ mph )

By the 1/8 mile mark , we would be even and they would still be carrying the skis up in the air past the 1/4 mile mark. Made me look like I was out there on ice skates

Funny pics/video of the cats !!

I would HATE to live around that much snow but if I did I would LOVE playing on those sleds...badazz !!!

I've only played on rented snowmobiles and even had a blast on them so I know I would on my own.

trails are still all torn to crap here because of the people who feel the need to rooster-tail every 10 freakin' feet.

trail speed limits in Ontario
Speed Limits

50 km/h - on snowmobile trails
20 km/h - on roads where the speed limit is 50 km/h or less
50 km/h - on roads where the speed limit is over 50 km/h

But open fields and lakes/rivers are WFO!

Why do you guys spend so much time on trails, anyway?
