well, it looks like we're getting close on the completion of Nytro Turbo. sean up at shaver lake power center has done an AMAZING job building these sleds and they would have been done 2 weeks ago if not for some back-ordered parts. it looks like we're going for a test ride/filming session friday out of tamarack....probably around 10 am?

i'm gonna need someone to run the camera 'cause jlowe is going big baby!

LOL!!

rob...you crack me up dude!

here's the breakdown...

2008 Yamaha Nytro. Boondocker Turbo (Garrett 2865) set to 12lbs. of boost. ProLogger box (boost adjustment, A/F, Egts), Timbersled 162" rear suspension, Avid drivers, VE tunnel extension, blingy big wheels, simmons flexi 2 wide boys, fox float fronts, 2 cool air vents, snow eliminators and some kickin' fuzzy dice to hang off my bars.

thanks again to sean for making it all happen. i'll post some pics next week.

HPs on 50/50 fuel at 12lbs is around 230...maybe a little less?

confidence is low on the friday ride now. it seems my 162 challenger extreme 2.25 was on the 3:10 to Yuma when it friggen de-railed. UPS is trying to get it here by tomorrow...if not...i'm out for friday. we'll know by tomorrow afternoon.

lefty...you are ON as camera-dude when i get ready to put the hammer down.

(man, listen to me. my sled isn't even officially done and i'm powerless against the urge to trash-talk). LOL!!

My plan is to ride and bleed the cooling system late thursday. Dany and I have been puting in some overtime on this bit*h. Hope we dont let you down.:confused:

Worst case, we ride Sat A.M.

i'm lovin' the optimism here boys! c'mon BROWN!!

btw...you guys are FAR from letting me down. you guys have proven we have a kick a$$ custom sled shop right here in central california (FINALLY) and i have a feeling its gonna get turbolicious around there this summer!! reports of various TS riders snooping around about turbo nytros are rampant.

sean...call me with any updates today. if we ride tomorrow or saturday, i want to do a ton of helmet cam stuff...so any TS riders that want that money mug-shot in the last ELEVATION movie better show up!

Does getting bent over the hedges behind the auditorium at prom classify as "getting laid"?

AO, where you at......Look, I'm sorry if my last post hit too close to home. I never meant to come between you and Leroy. If it makes you feel better, my prom date was your mom. Oh, wait, I'm sorry, I wasn't supposed to say anything......:)

Sled is done. Ready to ride. Jeff come up at 10AM if you can so I can show you a few tuning tips. I will need the sled back at the end of the day so I can switch out the boxes next week. I will all you in a bit. So yes were on for tomorrow.

P.S. snow conditions bite.:mad:
