Mail for help.Help!!
Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Snowmobile drag-racing on asphalt: the world's most stupid sport?
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

It's definitely stupid:


[For a blow-up of that photo: click here.]

And there's plenty of geek-speak:
Quote:
"All snowmobiles must have a minimum 1-inch of travel in the track suspension. Only steel springs will be permitted. Externally activated suspension systems prohibited. Hyfax must be removed. Bogie wheels must be used on each side of the rear suspension to prohibit the slide rails from coming in contact with the rubber track surface. Use of any external slide rail lubrication system prohibited. Steel coil over or leaf spring permitted."

But what about the skis?
Quote:
We want to transfer weight, but not yank the skis in the air. Keeping ski lift to an inch is plenty. Any more than that and you will lift your skis out of the timing lights. This will end up giving you a red light start. If the sled is going up, it's not going forward. On asphalt, you do not need a skis-to-the-sky launch.

If you're itching to get into this sport, here's all the insider secrets.
