Apex is the faster of the 2 ..... they both will get to 100 mph quickly .... just that the Apex will continue climbing with extra ponies under it.
Fastest I had it was 118 mph on a lake .... that is what the speedo showed ..... what that equates to in real (GPS) speed ... I haven't got a clue. I am sure I was only doing approx 108 -110 mph maybe ....

Now where's the Pics? And bear in mind GPS only!


Twins eh? You need to be careful just how many sets of twins / ( . ) ( . ) you've got going at once. Too many twins, not good.

Well you call me when you get it running a little better.

177 mph on a sled? That is just plain sick in the head!

I wish I had a GPS on the Sled ..... I could keep track of where I have been .... and the speed of coarse.

You just never know if you have the right set of twins with you at all times

That video is sick ..... I could imagine going that fast on something only approx. 9 feet long and a 2 feet off the ground.

Does HCS mean Hot Chit Sledheads?

Why not get a handheld? I know some guys that use them for hunting. Comforting thought there, guy in the woods with a loaded gun not even smart enough to even get back out. But why wouldn't it work on a sled?


P.S. Tell your wife that the Velocity chit has to wait till next week. I used all my allowance money for this week to buy Whipple kits for the Biotch and don't have anything left for the UPS charges. But next week is looking good!

Al, just registered a few days ago. Same name as here. Good site, lots of good tech info there. 'Course, I only visit the Cat threads............... that's right baby............Cat is where it's at!

Can't wait to spank that overweight, over-valved, six foot long exhaust piped Yimiha of Jeff's.

Actually, I have no idea if I can beat that Yami. But, you can bet we'll be finding out soon.
