Speed Poll
What's the fastest you've gone on a sled? Please indicate details (radar, speedo, make, model, number of passengers, riding surface etc.)
My girlfriend (150lbs) and I (200lbs) were riding double on my '95 Indy Storm 800 racing some other sleds ( 95 xcr 600, 96 xcr 600 and 97 formula III) up a freshly plowed road. The road presents a straight away, going up a steep hill. The hill is between 1/2-3/4 miles long with wide open meadows on either side for perfect visibility all the way up to the top. Needles to say (even with two passengers) we won the race. I was still gaining speed as we approached the crest of the hill and had to let off the throttle. I was too busy watching the road, but my girfriend said I peaked out just above 100mph and I was still climbing! I still wonder to this day how fast my sled will go and how much faster I would have gone with one passenger. Whenever I race though I never think to look at the speedo. To my knowledge this is the fastest I have gone.
