I got my ass handed to me today racing up a hill by my buddies XP 860 BIG BORE with a 162" 2.5" challenger track. I have a M8 901 D&D big bore with 153" power claw, wonder how close it would of been if I had a longer track?

It always astonishes me how brainwashed the Doo guys are that the 16 wide is the best thing since indoor plumbing. Lets see you sidehill your doo compared to my M.

Anyways, about the M, does your setup usually pull pretty good? Is your clutching correct?

Of course he was complaining about being beat racing up a hill, where the wider track would make a difference, not sidehilling....

I'm always amazed at how cat guys try to rationalize why they get their azzes handed to 'em on the hill. sidehill all you want, I'm going over....lol.

I am running a 15" 162 Challenger Extreme, not a 16". I was what,,,,,4-5 sled lengths ahead or was it more like 6-8 can't remember. Just giving you the gears buddy. But all fairness to Avossler, his sled still has some clutching issues.

Teeroy, we were up Hasler this weekend, snow was ok, but melting quick.
