Default Re: Snowmobiles?.....C'mon man!

You are required to have a long list of safety items to run almost any category in NHRA........but you can go 200MPH sitting on a snowmobile or bike with basically no protection!.........All you have to do is see the clip of the guy that crashed on his Luge sled up in Edmonton to see what could happen to someone on a bike or sled......He was going 88mph and I had to turn away everytime they showed the crash.....Dragstrips don't have many places along the track for something like that to happen but it seems foolish to include these things. I have seen them at my local tracks usually running in the 9's at somewhere around 140.......
