The poo 600's have done great that last few years proving that rush rear end can take a beating!
It is 600's mainly for the safety of the riders if they allowed 800's you would see over 100mph on several parts of the course and when your going miles fatigue, ect it can put a hurting on people. This year someone was in intensive care from a wreck, and its not uncommon for a few riders every year to windup injured.
600cc better fuel mileage, they still haul ***, and its just safer for the racers..
Each racer has a gps that you can track exactly where there at ect due to it being literally in the middle of nowhere for hours of riding.... But anyone can check there website and see where anyone is. Its a really fun race to follow via there website gps tracking! Your talking around 5 grand to enter the race, you need a practice sled and a race sled. To run the race your looking at around 50,000 $ and some air plane support is key!

I was under the impression that the 600 limit was due to engine size from the past. Limit the size so the times were more or less consistent from past race times. Just like the limit on 4 strokes is 80 hp (Nytro and F class Non Turbo), not many of these make the run. Weight and trail breaks them apart. There is also a trail class run before the Pro race. Teams from the National guard, husbands and wives and every day guys make this run. You should all look into it.
I Looked at 3 Doo iron dog sleds near my house several times this year. Lots of miles on the trainers, refab, better parts, tough engine parts, building up of weak parts you name it they add stuff. I also think the top Doo riders ditched the r-motion this year, breaking them in training runs, in favor of the older skid.
As far as speed goes, One team riding the sleds I saw set a record,they made a 90 mile run in 56 minutes that takes me close to 2 hours on a a trail sled hauling A$$ and over 3.5 hours on a work sled. They pass you nicking the tops of the pressure ridges 5 ft tall like mad men or orange devils.
The orange hats allow for safety and identification (from the ground & air, easy to see from a helo).
These guys put duct tape on their noses, cheeks and sides of their faces to protect from frost bite. at -30 or -40 70 mph can freeze skin fast. If you are interested here is the official site and rules for . Yellow highlights are rule changes for .
