I know everyone hates geating beat when racing your friends.But lets look at the positve of what happens.Ive had my rx1 for 7 years i sled with stock apexs 800 cats etc all in stock form i could beat them all then my best friend bought a skidoo 1200 and put all the goodies on it like header ecm reflash and cluthes and i kit guess what he beat me.So it made me rethink my cluthing and gearing from my orginal set up.So i geared back up closed spread up in front spring widdened back spring moved some weight around my sled now is going way stronger now and better top end numbers .Our last race i could get ahead and hold him to 105 mph then he would get me by a sled length.So ive changed again iam sure it will be close now might even beat him.So take getting beat as fun and dont get crankey sledding and racing is so much fun when with good people.Ps when i beat him then we will work on what works better on his sled.Then it will start over again now thats fun.

Just going through some old posts and read this. Have you been able to beat the 1200 yet. I was getting closer to the 1200 thats been waxing me all year but still behind a couple lengths up to 100. After that he checks out.

This is how I do most of my testing as my son will run next to me so I can see the progress that is being made. You can have timers, you can have on-board recorders....but it's when you are next to someone and you see the difference is when you can say....THAT WORKED!!!

I am confused, what sled are you racing the 1200 with, an Apex or an RX1?
What length track do both of you have?
