i got this snowmobile in the beggingingof the summer as a payment for welding floor pans in a car for a guy, fixed her all up, lots of elbow grease etc. took it out for the first time ever its a antique 1978 artic cat el tigre mint condition, and smashed it into a tree after riding it for 15 minutes was going about 45 50 mph, and the throttle stuck wide open

i bailled last minite to avoid it hitting cars and when i jumped off my ankle hit another tree and now it is killing me, could be sprained or somehting idk, but the second time the gas stuck it was heading for the house so i had to man ship and flip her which slowed it down then went into a bush

idk i never had a chance to top mine out the fastest i went was 50 and then it went into a tree lol

id guess 75 - 85, or i culd be way off and it could be 90-95 idk, but i do know that mine had some balls and got up to 50 in no time at all
