Grab some 🍿 it's a 34 min long video.
These are my attempts of trying to finish the Savage track XC race in Patten, Maine.
Tame the track ran a flawless program. Check out the next race March 12th 2022.
I didn't get on the podium due to driveline failures all day. I did turn some good laps humbling some grasshoppers.
My 10,000 mile XC 600cc got faster and faster all day if you study my lines and mistakes.
But, I'm telling ya those county boys can ride the piss out of a snowmobile.
I just found out the xcr I was battling was in the wrong class by mistake and a 800cc.
That makes it even cooler.

You guys digging the music?
I ran out of tracks to dub in.
Any ideas?
Let me know If ya made it to the end on the show and saw the bonus footage of my Greasy tripple vs. Sidewinders & 850s grudge race.
Didnt have very good luck this day.
couldnt finish a race due to a chain case leak.
I drove her till she was blue and then some.
Always next time.
enjoy the show.

The old XC stays well planted. Good steady riding. Nice work 👍

@PolarisRacer 2 года назад

Hey thanks. I give it my all. The low center of gravity works well until there are 4 foot moguls.

Yes for sure. I ran a cross country once in 78. No where's the distance you drove but my buddy and I won it. Even after he fell off his sled and took the lanyard with him lol. I took my turn and got them in the corners. Had enough lead on them that when Wayne's turn came back around he took the honors home. Oh 340 L "P" too. First trailing arm one too. I had a 77 340 L. Classic look still today.

@swere1240 9 месяцев назад

from watching this i can see how using the snowdust you throw can be a strategy to keep people from passing you alot of the time lol i came here not exspecting to watch the whole thing but ended up watching it all. nice riding. i have a 1999 xc 700 that looks alot like ur 600 there and its kind of a rocketship and beats alot of newer and bigger sleds for some reason. and i only paid 1500 bucks for it and have rode it 2 years now so cant really complain lol

@jasonperfumo4836 6 месяцев назад

Awesome!! The 800 XCR was pretty much cleaning them all hands down👊🏻 I have a couple old Triples still, 2003 XCR 800 and a 1997 Ultra SP 680 had them both since new. My XCR 800 will beat my 2020 XC 850, XC is stock my XCR has some mods. That XC 600 race was impressive! 👍

@smplyizzy 8 месяцев назад

I bet most of those newer sleds had much longer tracks. If so, they corner like crap on tight relatively smooth terrain. However if there was more snow and large bumps they come into their own.

I knew both weren’t stock. Edge/Gen2 ran same bars and master/switches right. The 440 racers from the 98 red rocket until the end of the prox ran a cat style wildwood and even straighter bars. Going from 25 year old memory’s. I ran a cat wildwood on an Ultra for 6k miles. And CR80 expert handle bars. Gave you 2” of rise and almost straight without a block and allow you to angle towards hood and still close it.

@PolarisRacer Месяц назад

You are right on the money with what you speak. The cr80 bars I might look into.

@joshmcdevitt190 Месяц назад

@@PolarisRacer make sure they are CR80 EXPERT. Think they made the expert from 1997-2005. It was the big wheel 80cc bike. Normal CR80 bars are a few inches narrower for 9-12 year old kids that aren’t built like an NBA/NFL player. The expert was the BIG boy bike.

Savage on an old sled love to see what you could do on a competitive sled. You already dominated that race it would have been interesting on the gap aspect of things😊

@PolarisRacer Год назад

Thanks. If my hp was up to par I wouldn't need a new sled. Once in the groove and figured out the track its on. I lost my waterpump belt the site lap. So I couldn't even get a test run. Went from overheating to taking them to school. Thanks for watching.

@johnlaplume2862 Год назад

@@PolarisRacer where was this race? I’m your running in panton Vt or New England maybe we can hatch a plan. I’ll put u on my sled she has brand new Fox Qsr3 shocks a turbo dynamics tune in it. My winder 0 to 100 - 110 in sixty feet no problem n I’m 430 pounds suited up. There wouldn’t be you being gapped on the straight a ways that I’ll bet my bottom dollar on

I live in central Maine. This race was in Patten maine. Nothing touches the 4 strokes around here on the lake. I'm racing a 600 class. I trail ride with a sidewinder and my xcr800. I'm in his dust after 70mph.

18 min mark that modern day 600 beat you to the finish line there and you were WOT ina straight race they have you but im suprised your ahead of the pack mostly it goes to show that modern day light technology twin has you on the top end tho!

Fun fact is that black and grey xcr was a 800 I was battling with. He was in the wrong class. I had to work for it. But ya the xcr600 cfi engine has 20 more hp then a liberty. I can just get on the gas quicker. Until there are 4 foot moguls.

@otahu26 Год назад

Good Job though. Your giving up 20 hp to the newer machines. Noticed Your skis weren't even moving. Way to much preload in your front end. Skis need to move up and down. If your not bottoming out once in a while. Your not using up your shock travel and gonna fight the machine 3x harder and wear yourself out. Great work again though. Amatur racing at it's very best.

@PolarisRacer Год назад

Hey thanks. Your right I had some ski pressure that day. I'm always just trying to get under my competition in the corners. I wasn't too worn out. But always ears open for tips on being faster. You are right about the 20hp. I just got on the gas faster then the sled in front of me. What kind of racing do you do.
