Friends, your speedometer
may be lying to you.
Can you handle the
truth? All you need is $3 to get it at the RADAR RUN.
2012 Run set for February 25

You are probably saying to yourself " my snowmobile has a speedometer",
and you're right. But it may not be accurate and the spinning track may give a false reading of your speed. So you can bring
your sled to the radar run and really check your speed, and you can check your speed against other sleds in your class! So here is how it works. When you show up to run your sled, you first register
and sign a waiver. You'll be assigned to a class based on your engine cc's and whether it's a 2 or 4-stroke. You'll pay a
small fee to run your sled against the radar gun--- usually $3.00. (a small amount for so much fun!) You can run your sled
as many times as you want, each time for $3.00.
|
WHY MORE THAN ONCE? Well you see, after you run against
the radar gun, another sled in your class may run a faster speed. And being the macho man or spirited woman you are, you
want to regain your former glory. And it goes on like that til someone gives up. Some keep trying even though there is no
one else in their class, just to see if they can maybe eke out a couple more mph's. And it really gets interesting when
a smaller cc sled goes faster than a bigger cc sled.

After each run, the speed is posted and you can keep your speed card
for a souvenir or leave it posted, allowing you to bask in the admiration of your peers. The length of the run is about 1000
feet and speeds run from 40 to 80 mph or more.
You always run the course alone, never another sled along side or racing against you. Wear a tether switch, know
where your safety stop switch is located and how to use it. Make sure your sled is in good working order, especially the drive
belt, brakes, track and idler wheels. And it shouldn't have to be said, but wear appropriate protective gear. So you say " I don't have a
fast sled". You don't have to be fast, just have fun. We post the slowest sled too!!
We will have some food and
hot cocoa in the tent, so you can stay a while to watch all the fun.
