draw your own conclusions...


from Marketwatch:

"Todd has wanted to come to Hay Days for 15 years, and we were proud to have him at our booth," said Christopher Twomey, Arctic Cat's chairman and chief executive officer. "He's a snowmobile racing champion, and a champion for Arctic Cat."
Palin was one of 12 Arctic Cat-sponsored riders who participated in the event, including Davis. At Hay Days, Arctic Cat unveiled three new snowmobiles for this model year: the Sno Pro 600, M8 HCR and the Z1 Turbo Sno Pro. The Z1 Turbo -- which tested faster than a Corvette in the quarter-mile -- is the world's fastest production snowmobile.
Hay Days Grass Drags, an annual grass drag racing event, is the unofficial kick-off of the snowmobile season and said to be the world's largest snowmobile event. Held on Sept. 6 and 7, Hay Days attracted more than 30,000 snowmobilers. With the Republican National Convention ending Thursday, Sept. 4, Palin remained in the Twin Cities and attended Hay Days.

Am I stupid to worry about a snowmobile that can beat a Corvette in a quarter mile?
the thing that really depresses me...the woods used to be so nice and quiet in winter.

1. Lake Machines

The sleds that are built for speed like this new model tend to be bigger and heavier, due to the larger engines, and aren't as much fun as the smaller sleds are for trail use. It's a lot more work pushing a big sled around on the tight trails vs. a lighter machine that's built for trail use. The big sleds are used more for running up and down the lakes.
