I got a snowmobile up to 55 mph on an open course...more ice than snow. Quite a rush...Boy this is way off topic.

ot- most snowmobiles today will do 100mph easily give or take a small percentage of that. I do have a 700cc triple piped sled that the speedo goes to 140mph. It can't hit that but I did hit 115mph on it(so said the speedo). Had some throttle left too but I backed off.. started to get "spooked". I was racing alongside a highway where the speed limit is 70mph (so everyone goes about 80) and was passing cars like they were parked.

Fastest sled I have ever seen was 3 years ago. Guy was clocked at 144mph with a radar gun. (He was running nitrous oxide as well). Totally insane.

Sleds today have come a long way since what you were probably on. You can ride em forever now without much rider discomfort... unless you really pound the trails like we do then ya need a break hear and there!
