Snowmobile speed record?

INTRODUCING: FROZEN ASSETS!
Posted 01.27.10 by Larry Preston

I have been trying to keep my mouth shut about this one for about 4 months now - and I can't hold my tongue any more!

At that time I heard a rumor that Paul Groth, Jim and Bernie Warning and Jim Costa of Performance Concepts decided they wanted to go after the world speed record once an for all.

A month later, I was staring at this baby in the shop as they got started developing it. It took just three months to get it from concept to ready for the ice!

This is a 3,000 horsepower (Yes, 3,000 H.P.), 2,000 pound Twin-Turbo beast that they have named "Frozen Assets".

This is the "other" stop-secret machine that was coming to Waconia. They were going to do some pilot runs and testing there.

However, the crew has decided to take it to Menominee Wisconsin this Saturday to try for the Guinness Book of World Records at the NSSR sanctioned drag race there.

Best of luck to the Paul and the crew - that's a pretty big goal but if anyone can do it - it's Paul!

Jeeeeezzzzzzz!!!!


That's a fast record to go after from what I recall. I believe Tom Earhart, here in Michigan, crashed once breaking the record on a snowmobile at over 150 or something like that.

Are they going after the fastest top speed record? Or the drag record, or both???

[hotjava66]

wow, that thing is nuts! cant even imagine riding it. back when i was into sledding i had a few friends into drag racing. i took one ride on a 300hp drag sled and about p*ssed myself, you can hardly hang on to the bars during acceleration. they were running 660ft at 130-140mph seems to me, and that was 8-10 years ago

WTF? Snowmobiles are for snow. On a dry track it's a fast caterpillar.

[MattBMiller]

Sweet!!

Rail cars with tracks are not what I would call a snowmobile. I rememeber seeing some wild stuff in the 60's that were drag cars with tracks and skis much like this one. I think they were alcohol enigines and did not work very well in the cold. Same goes for the sleds racing on asphalt with wheels. Put them on the ice or snow. Hence the name snowmobile. That video of 192 in a 1000' ice track is crazy fast.
