It would be impossible to see the world through Tucker's eyes.

For $70 bucks you can see it through his goggles.

Do you need your FOX shocks serviced (or looking to upgrade your Floats to EVOLs) and you're going to Hay Days?

Bring your shocks and they'll do the service there, while you wait.

Getting your shocks tuned by the pros (at very reasonable prices, I'm told) WAY before the riding season seems like a good idea to me.

Here's the press release from FOX:

Each month a tall schmoozer from Arctic Cat sends the media hacks like myself a pack of press releases about products they hope we'll feature on printed or electronic pages.

Since their ad dollars help me to keep the lights on this place, I dutifully comply. Especially when I'm involved with some of the products.

Want a chance to win a complete sled make-over by Speedwerx, then be featured on SledHead 24/7 television riding your reworked rocket?

All you need is a 2012 XF or F1100 Turbo, and attend Haydays.

Oh, and you have to click HERE to enter (prior to Sept. 2) for free.

For Arctic Cat Turbo owners not satisfied with a measly 170 hp, Speedwerx has a $400 ECU re-mapping kit that will allow for 240 hp on pump gas.

The USCC race in Walker, Minn., this coming weekend is ON.

This is news as painful to write as it is for me to think about:

Pat Mach – husband, father, snowmobiler and President of the USCC cross-country race circuit – died yesterday as the result of a snowmobile accident.

I received the news this morning. What I’ve written above, is all I know at this point.

And before I can begin to fathom what this means on a widespread level, all I can do right now is pray for his wife Lisa and his son Adam.

Sales increased (mainly snowmobiles), profit rose and future guidance has been raised.

Conclusion: Good snowfall is the largest determining factor in snowmobile sales.
