Traction will be the main issue. The 1" track on the 03 without studs will suffer the hole shot. The smaller lug track will provide the advantage on high speed runs though.

Thanks swiss I forgot to mention Were both studded 192 an I have the shotgun 125 track on mine. Just wondering if I'll be in the same ballpark.

Mine vs a dead stock Apex ER on the same day (as the above video), same studs mine was faster in the one race where we both hooked up. I've got ECP's and my starting point for clutching...

My 03 with ECP and clutching can hold it's own against an Apex just ask MrSled 
The Apex has a better throttle response and will take you from a dead stop but the 03 setup well will keep right with it on top end.

I figured it might be real close. We are a competitive duo. All about bragging rights you know. Thanks for your replies. Like to get a Apex maybe next year.

In that video the Rx-1 hesitated on off throttle not a good comparison IMO but looked like the apex was alittle quicker anyway

The only hesitation that sled has is due to traction...but none the less...he put 4 sleds on me in like 40 feet lol. We were just goofing around but it does illustrate quite clearly the difference between a trail sled and a race sled.
I don't have a video of the box stock apex I raced but I think he and I will be side by side if he does some clutching. The ECP's sound INCREDIBLE btw.
I ran several apex's on Back Lake last year with my Warrior loaded with the ECP and heavy hitters and never saw a tail light (stock Apex/Attacks). I also ran into a couple of clutched Apex's and swapped wins. I also ran my track to the point that it would ratchet. Different story with the Expert however. Made at least a 5MPH(+) difference.

help me out with this clutching talk. What are these ECP things and stuff. I need some schooling.

1000 ft will be tough, who ever gets the hole shot is going to win and unless you put in a mono skid he will get the hole shot. now if you want to talk top speed then loosen your track, adjust transfer rods to 0 transfer and you should smoke him on top end. Mine will go by my brothers without a problem on top end but radar runs he's usually about 1 mph faster.
