Banshee17Racing Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I've got one....a buddy of mine is in a sno-mobile club called Sno-Seekers. His dads pretty much runs everything and I usually get to hear some cool stories about the trips they take up north. But this story happened here to my buddy a couple years ago, when we were still in highschool. This isn't a nice story, but its reality. Anyway...this friend(Clint) is on his MXZ600 and another friend of mine(Mike) is riding with him on the 440 'cat Clint sold him. They both have a chick on the back on the sleds. It was pretty late at night...11:30 or so on a Friday or Saturday, still snowing a little. They ride all the way out to Durant, IA (about 30 minutes drive) riding ditches and fields. Clint has almost all the ditches memorized from riding them every winter. They're both flying through this long corn field, Clints in the lead...obviously, and they come up on a ditch. They both start braking...but not fast enough. Before the ditch was a knocked down barbed wire fence that should have been taken out of the ground with the rest of the fence about 20 years ago. Clint doesn't see the fence until its too late. The nose of the sled slides the top barbed wire of the fence up past the windshield....It just so happened Clints neck was right about the windshield. It slices his throat about 12 inches left to right, cutting his skin, neck muscle, ligaments, and part of his trachea. LUCKILY his girl on the back was knocked off the back when Clint leaned back right before he hit the fence. Clint, in shock, gets off.. stops Mike, whos about 40 feet behind him, and tries telling him what happened. Not hearing a word..Mike doesn't think anything happened. Clint takes his helmet off and Mike then realizes whats happened. Fortunately, Mike was planning on being a Davenport Medic...so he knew his stuff. They stop somebody on the road and have them call 911. Clint soon realizes he starting to get really cold...escpecially without the blood needed to keep you warm. So the man they stopped tells them to get in the truck until the ambulance comes. Keeping the heater on full blast, Mike is taking his clothes off while Clint is putting more on. Now Mike has told me that he thought that was the last time he was going to see Clint alive. I didn't ask what was said between them, but they both said that was the scariest thing they have ever had happened. Clint ended up with 40-50 stitches in his neck, and was back to school the following week. The doctor said if the fence had hit him and inch lower, he wouldn't have a head. Sorry about the long story, but just want to give the "heads up" one ditch riding...hell any riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master of Faster Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Yep, it's a whole different world, once you've ridden a 265hp turbo RX-1 that'll do the 1/4 in 8 secs on pump gas, makes any Banshee I've ever ridden feel like a joke.

Theres a mechanic at the local shop that has an RX-1 with a supercharger My uncle just put an RMK 800 motor (MODDED TO THA NUTS) into a pro-x 440 chassy Then my friend has a 900 caton nitrous ya know the usual:blink: Some phuckin fast shit I traded my pro-x 600 (pipe/can, ported, bored carbs, studded track, FOX shox, etc.) for most of the parts on my banshee and $750 cash, that was a pretty quick sled too, beat most 700's. Lots of stories just not enough room to tell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master of Faster Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 If you guys ever get a chance to jump on a turbo RX-1 or Apex do it. The power isn't like a normal turbo charged vehicle, Especially on the front mount turbos there is NO LAG. Instant power right from 0. And completely trailable too, just turn the knob down and you get the low 190 hp setting, lol. Simons CPR lake race turbos are now over 400 hp. Jeff Simons' full bodied, stock chassis turbo RX-1 went over 150 mph this last winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
