Grass Drag Track
Has anyone else ever ran it a track like this? It has GRASS DRAG NO WARRANTY molded into the inside of the track. The outside has two direction arrows and 30 HP max on it with no part number or brand name. It is looks like a 100 series track but is made out of a much more flexible rubber. I found it in a Liquidator with a heavy suspension. The suspension was ran with a full wheel kit and no hyfax. This set up was much like what was ran in a 295/s boogie slide. Any ideas?

Re: Grass Drag Track
I got to ideas for you. First, I think it means that the original supplier of the track would not warranty it and it was to be used for grass dragging. Secondly, I am not to sure about this next idea but I wouldnt put it on a sled with more than 30 Hp. Remember you asked...
Re: Grass Drag Track
Jesse, Steve was asking me about the track last night. Today i was giving it some thought, and i remember on Enduro Team with Cormican, JD engineering gave us some light weight tracks to test on some of our 340/S sleds.If remember correctly we put a track on 1 of Dales sled, and 1 on mine. In early December, we took them out to Maple Lake Mn, we had radar guns to test the speed, there was very little snow on the lake.We did some runs at close to 100mph, in about a 3 mile run, after Dale did some fine tuning on the clutches. On the 3rd run Dale blew his track, we did a few more runs with my sled, not sure if we got to 100mph or not, but it sure was fast. After that we went back to the regular tracks for cross country racing, i don't know what ever happened to those light weight tracks.
JD definitely had some light weight tracks for testing, not sure for what,maybe lake racing, and grass dragging.
Just some thoughts.

Re: Grass Drag Track
Bob, we're the tracks you used all rubber or cleated?
Re: Grass Drag Track
I have seen tracks like this on old Scorps.
I think they were aftermarket.
Very thin and very light.
And they were market 30 HP max. but not embossed for grass draging.

They were all rubber---I think someone said they were made for the 295/S, but they were to flimsy. Ed Kruel might shed some light on the matter.deere memorabilia wrote:Bob, we're the tracks you used all rubber or cleated?
