to clarify...
That was NOT Craig Warners SXR that Mac was on. It was his own, built by Bill Chapin. We are developing new spec's for next year. Basically, a very similar package to what Ive ran the last two years. But finally an alternative to the billet head, downdraft, msd, timebombs that have dominated the market the last couple years (basically old tech). A whole new Open Class SXR spec from the ground up that has already been proven to be a reliable engine package, were just squezzin more hp out of it now.
Plenty reliable, but can boost the compression and turned into a Pro Class winning calibre ski, as shown by Mac in Nashville.
And yes, an SXR has built in sponsons. In addition, weve been testing these new Tubbie style sponsons, which we hope to have available at the finals for sale.
I havent tried them personally on my SXR, but I will ride Mac's ski this weekend and be able to give my own report here if you'd like.
I did ride a HS with a set on them. Lets just say those sponsons tamed that pile o crap. i rode my hs for 6 months every weekend, could never get the hang of it for the life of me. the tubbies did the trick.
Mac's SXR didnt lose any speed from them. As soon as were done testing, they'll go into production and be available for all. Not sure how they'll work on a Stock or Limited ski. Also, definitly affects the way your rideplate works so their may be a new ride plate on the market next year also to go along with the sponsons.
Now if you're a regular 'joe' and do the same, you get ripped apart.:cool2:
