Some general rules to help choose the best sled. I'm not necessarily looking to have the fastest overall sled. I looking to have the best sled that will allow me to run in multiple classes and be competitive in them. Ie: A 600 that could run 600 and 800 classes etc.

NOTE: 440 / 600 SNO-X...
I've thought about turbo fourstroke, just not sure if I want to possibly buy someone's lemon. As well I believe it would put me into an Open class for racing against all the heavy hitters.
I only want to stay stockist at first to see how much it will cost and to keep repairs to a minimum and...
Haha true enough. I'll be willing to spend money on the sled after getting it and seeing how it runs. I'm mostly interested in finding a a stock sled that would be a good performer in stock/improved classes. And one that has a good aftermarket support, both new and used.
I'd rather start small...
I'm thinking a 128"-144" track length would be best, as most places don't allow studs. So the extra track length should help getting out of the hole on such short races(660',1000',1320')
I was thinking somewhere along an older FireCat/Crossfire or a Older Mxz/Renegade in a REV chassis. My one reason for wanting to keep it fairly cheap is because I have no idea how much it will cost to travel around the province and other places going to these races.
My last sled was a 2008...
A stock fourstroke for drag racing? I know I could turbo one and it would be insane. But I'm looking to buy a sled cheap(under $5K) and keeping it mostly stock so I can race in corresponding class(Improved/modified) based on the classes CC's.
I've been out of snowmobiling for a while. Are you...
If you had to pick a used sled to be used as a drag sled, what would you buy? Keep in mind availability of aftermarket parts to upgrade as needed.

I just sold my quad so I may pick up a used sled over the summer and go racing next winter.

Update with some general classification...
I've creeped on this forum a few times but never bothered to join. But I just bought an 08' Kawasaki KFX450R. And I will be looking for places and people to ride with in Leduc.
