Can anyone confirm whether the multi-day is $48/day, or $48 min for the 2 day min? (2 days = $48 or $96) .

Only 1 ton I ever rode with ... IDK that it floated or not, but at the speed that thing went, it didn't need to. Yami dealer in Gunnison, Colorado had a 2 stage (?) turbo set-up on his, with a 163 track. My 163 x 2.25 tracked Summit made it 25-30% of the way up the big hill, and I turned out. My chum made it 1/2 way, and turned out. (it was really rotten snow! Seriously...) Mr. WonTon went over the top so hard that he aired the whole thing out with remarkable ease! OH friggin WOW! Makes a fella feel a bit ... inconsequential ..... . -
130,000 Loonies sounds awfully cheap to me for such a vee-hickle. MotorTrend had a writ this last month or so about a new Bugatti. THAT was just as impressive'a read! That was just short of 1600 HP, V16, 64V, and quad (purty sure) turbo's! Test driver was trying to hit 250, but on that day it's only go 245 MPH. Test track @ shuttle landing in Cape Canaveral, Florida. That's also an impressive car, but at $1.4M (?) USF, it really doesn't matter much anyhow. But this Dodge is reachable by a LOT more people! With all that said - I don't have a need for speed or racing. There is always someone with more time and money to devote to being first. But I can appreciate the engineering behind the results. I don;'t need to be first, but I sure don't want to be last! .

That new 1025hp Crashler runs on E85 preferably. Degraded to 950hp (?) if ran on premium gas. (alcohol is a cooling agent) .

Track issues usually stem from overheating - as I understand. So, if you are running fast on hard trail, you will likely reduce the life of your track. This is one of the reasons that my Summit goes slow. .

Sure aint that green down here!

B/c they can't sell a very high % of sleds with cardboardmeters anymore. They apparently need to have a high$ fuel infection system to pass emissions. So, they can make a few low buck sleds, but not many. -

There wasn't even such a thing as a "Mountain" segment until the mid 90's. Let alone it "always" being the tech leader. Yeah, the last 10+ years it seem to have been, but not historically. . -

In case you weren't there at the time: Textron owned Polaris in the 70's. They weren't turning out big winners at that time. -

Wow, that looks a bit over the top for fishermen and motor-sports enthusiasts? Even family summer vacations with a bunch of screaming bratts dragging sand all inside? . -
I really don't think that "common" sense is going to git'chew too far these days. Have you talked to many average folk lately? .

So, have all un-vaxed y'all's still been shunned from our border? I was amazed when I found out that it was open last fall going your way, yet y'all couldn't come down here! Heard on the news this morning that Woohan Institute for Biological Warfare Flu restrictions were coming to and end as for the Mexican border, and so I am guessing that explains why that was still imposed on the Canucks? So, our border should be open to you now, or soon? Guessing that y'all know more aboot this than I doo. .

Well, mine is better than dial up, but that's aboot it. In case anyone here is interested, and missed it, the first post has a reply on it linking what some other guys did back in 2000. https://www.retrax.net/overall.html?fbclid=IwAR2l--np894fyK06cYIN4Jo2lJboye4auzI-oXL0hakWvk7kSNHqdiARKXg also: https://www.retrax.net/atom.html?fbclid=IwAR1Ood4S8UOoCVUyaGSYqXkMukAV3QCsgdplB_zvuN-zXe6ICqQ6uwdlXgU A fella that I have met from Hearst and a buddy of his made a run all the way up to Resolute back in the early 'naughts, but I haven't seen their page up in many years now. Too bad! One more linked story [from 1970] from Post 1: http://www.trailasled.com/transcripts-197010?fbclid=IwAR0JoIyCqQMpfACiY7snmX2MRpxwuzdfUvFJ2ZuuhKqduSBe5m8yM309AqA
