Snowmobiles? That's awesome!

All this exposure to drag racing is really making me want to go...

Guys have been racing snowmobiles on drag strips since Rollerblades were invented. Seriously, that's what they did... they'd take the chassis off a pair of rollerblades and mount them to the bottom of the sled's skis. The ones they use now are made for drag racing though.

fun times. I can't believe those snowmobiles hit 10s/9s!

This Sunday my local strip is holding their annual high-school/college drag fest, which are open to everybody as the spectator and competitor tickets will be at a discount. I'll look forward to seeing some interesting machines in action.

Seems like all the car shows here in kansas are muscle/rods! lol

Wow, how cool is that! Kinda wicked to see drag bikes, snowmobiles and the not-so-dragworthy cars at the strip. Shows some cool diversity.

it amazes me when people see new things that i knew have been done for years..

I mean common sense people..Look at the contact patch on the vehicle, and think about the country of america as a whole..

Logic would state that somewhere some idiot has said "I know this is supposed to be ridden in the winter, but.......I'm bored"
