SnowWeek/ SnowGoer has partnered with DynoTech, George Taylor, Big
Moose Yamaha/ Arctic Cat, Old Forge Powersports Skidoo, and White Lake
Polaris to make the Adirondack Shootout better than ever.

Because of SnowWeek’s participation, we expect a good turnout of “Trail
Mod” sleds from aftermarket companies. Each sled will receive 1/2 page
with photo in SnowWeek magazine.

SNOWWEEK/ DYNOTECH RESEARCH ADIRONDACK SHOOTOUT

  “TRAIL MOD” RULES

Between the box-stock and “dealer prep” runs we will offer
aftermarket companies the opportunity to showcase specific trial modifications
(engine, components, etc) to stock sleds as run in the shootout.

Each sled will receive ½ page in SnowWeek including photo,
with text describing the performance upgrades on each sled.  The great benefit of the SnowWeek
partnership is immediate publicity (December). There is also expected similar
publicity in SnowGoer, later in the season.

 Optional: dyno tune at DynoTech (before or after the
Shootout)—those dyno results will be published in SnowWeek and on line
DynoTechResearch after SnowWeek.

 In the past, there has been lax enforcement of trail mod
“rules”. In deference to our aftermarket partners this will change this
year. We want TRAIL MOD SLEDS. All sleds will be weighed and “teched” by Pete
Webb and Sean Ray. Displacement, compression, etc will be noted. Perhaps sleds
that don’t fit the “trail mod” classification can be run in exhibition,
separate from Trail Mod.

 THE PROPOSED RULES:

 Pump gas, 93 octane supplied by DynoTech will be used. Gas
in sleds will be pumped out, three gallons of the 93 octane pump gas will be
put into each sled.

 Each sled will be weighed, and if weight is less than the
stockers at the shootout, a list of components/ cost will be supplied that
created the weight savings.

 Suspension travel must be reasonable, 50% travel should be
acceptable.

 Whatever stock track comes on the sled will be used. Trail
carbides will be used (no more than used on the stock sleds) and not carbide
tipped ice picks like Big Bob used several years ago (that precipitated the
“Big Bob Rule Stretcher Award).

 The SnowWeek crew will organize a short trail ride before
the aftermarket sleds are run—maybe a two-three mile trial ride (the Woodgate
Shootout track hooks up to the trail system), possibly allowing SnowWeek guys
to switch off and ride all the aftermarket sleds so each can be assessed and
its trail manners reported on.

 So far we have commitments from Bender, DynoPort, D&D,
Hooper, Crankshop, Excell Motorsports.  
We are looking forward to more participants this year. In the past,
AmSnow required aftermarket participants to be display advertisers in AmSnow.
SNOWWEEK IS WAIVING THAT REQUIREMENT.

 Any aftermarket business that has an interest in
showcasing their performance products on December 10, and would like to discuss
details please call Jim Czekala (585-993-2777) or George Taylor (910-269-1018).
