TURBO TIME AT THE ADIRONDACK SHOOTOUT
This is an invitation for all Arctic Cat Turbo commercial tuners/ modifiers/ manufacturers of mufflers, intercoolers, etc to bring a true trailable turbo Cat to this year’s AmSnow/DynoTech Research Shootout at Woodgate. AmSnow editors Mark Boncher and Mark Savage are working with us to make this possibly the most entertaining Shootout in 22 years. Or is it 23 years? I’ve lost track!
The plan is to offer FREE ENTRY to any company that wants to show off the performance capability of their Cat Turbo tuning and parts. For the “TURBO TIME SHOOTOUT”, the participating company is only required to be a minor advertiser in AmSnow (such as a website banner advertiser) instead of the display ad requirement! Thanks to AmSnow for cutting some slack this year to make this a no-brainer for any company that deals with Cat turbo stuff!
The concept is to have equal weight stock chassis sleds with STOCK TURBO, stock OEM track with trail carbide studs, some acceptable minimum weight, a real muffler of some sort, and anything else should be OK. No other power adders, lowered 2” maximum from stock at each end. Anything else?
We’re looking for feedback from interested aftermarket companies. So far I’ve communicated with D&D, JD Powersports, and Arctic Adventures (new U.S. distributors for Canada’s Turbo Dynamics) and all are committing to participate.
There will be LARGE separate trophies for FASTEST M.P.H. and for QUICKEST E.T. in 660 FT.
Also, any aftermarket company wanting to showcase higher power (ie: large turbo) sleds can run them in the lakeracer class, where anything goes. And, we’ll still be running true pump gas trail mod sleds as we’ve done for many years. Those sleds cost $500 each to demonstrate, with awards for many “classes” given out at the Shootout banquet.
Interested companies can call me at 585-993-2777 or email me at info@dynotechresearch.com
On a sad note, our Shootout partner (since Shootout #1) and good pal George Taylor died of heart failure last week. George’s long time friend Tom Smith is going to handle George’s Shootout work this year.
