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"
