That Polaris 800 is a Way Of Life...Nevada, Wyoming, California, Montana, and Idaho!

I had a triple and that thing ripped like nobody's business. Polaris knew how to make badass sleds. Now I'm running a 2015 skidoo summit 800xm. The 174" track makes a difference going into pow.

Can’t beat the sound of a triple

I raced Polaris tripple sleds back in the day. SLP heads, pipes, and ski's, plus some porting and you'll have a monster! ...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠 and some old school j weights, it's like dropping the clutch at 6000rpm...

@@FeederCountry it had a 121, challenger 2" with 2" studs. It was OK on the trails, loved riding it on frozen lake's. It was terrible off trail. Turned into a submarine in deep snow ❄. Spring snow was the best for that particular machine. It was the first sled that I broke my back on back in February of 2000. It was crazy fast after the engine work, it was fun stock. But WAY fast afterwards. SLP cylinder head's with hi compression pistons, or dial a dome heads with race ⛽ gas. You'll be king of the lake's with either these combinations. I would walk away from Tcat's or anyone else who thought they were fast....lol find ANYWHERE you can to drop weight! It sounds silly but I even sanded down the inside of my hood to get ounces off the front-end. The tripple sleds like nitrous, and always wanted to turbo one! But by the time turbo kit's were affordable, you could build a big twin with 30-40lbs lighter on the front-end...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠 oh and a pink spring with a purple stripe, or a purple spring.

Don’t forget your studs for hookin up with all that power

I had one, awesome machine! Fast as snot, no travel on rough trails though. I miss her for lake running. I was second owner but sold it two seasons ago. Too hard on the back when trail riding. Wasn’t studded either, so icy trails in the hills were difficult. Enjoy your ride.

Got a 141" Indy Wedge with the little 440cc. Been thinking of putting a newer RMK gastank and seat on it making it look a bit better.

Yes it is

I had a 1996 Polaris Indy 600. Stock it would do 110 mph. should never got rid of it but at the time I thought bigger was better. Hand my head now!

They all had their drag sleds back in the day. Arctic Cat ZRT 800, Ski-Doo Mach Z 800, Yamaha V-MAX 4 750, and Polaris also changed from the Storm to the XCR 800. Arctic Cat also had the Thundercat.

Here in the flatland and twisties, the Storm was a field and lake runner. They're boat anchors though, but the speedometers were way off. So there was always some jackass at the bar yapping up his Storm. I'd really like to find a nice unmolested triple 121, just to hear it. BTW, been running roller secondaries for some time. But, I had a black anodized helix I bought years ago for a late 90's XCSP. The ramp angles were stamped on the side, toward the bottom. I can't remember the company after 20 odd years, but they were legit and the slick buttons were a must. You might be able to roll the clutch to see if it matches the helix. Either way, those numbers sounded like Mountains. The gears are also likely different than a 121.

They are fast have a 3 turbos and pipes for that sled... I have a Polaris 1999 xcr sp 440 made very few it was the prototype for the edge the 440 motor had 128 hp from factory 0 to 60 3.2 sec

The 2003 XCR 800 was and still is the fastest stock Polaris.

One issue I had at 80-90mph and letting off the throttle the rear wanted to push left or right. This sled was tons of fun. It is heavy.

@@3DProductions Can't say I completely agree. The old lead sleds still have a faster chassis than todays ditch banging monsters. Tall, over all ride heights, 15" of suspension travel and 1.5" track profiles have the awful side effect of power robbing drag. Todays muscle will destroy those old dinosaurs in the acceleration department, but you just can't beat those old school trailing arm sleds and high RPM triples for top speed running...especially when you leg them out beyond 2,000ft and start getting into the improver, and open mod classes. At least as far as two strokes go. The 4-stroke turbo's are just a whole other level. They simply overcome all of that added drag with raw power.

Nice find... heat gun/ propane torch on the plastic will bring the shine back... I had a 95 skidoo formula Z ... was a 598cc double... shaved the head... jetted it down... cut the rotary valve.. clutch...studs...pipes.... there wasn't a sled at the time that could beat me.... brought the skis off the ground all the way upto 100mph+ until you could steer the thing... lol.... :)

well it's the newer storm so that's good! When they came out with the XCR 800 that was even better but yeah you got an awesome sled there. The 2003 XCR 800 is one of my favorite sleds ever. Fun fact, the Edge chassis was originally going to come with the XCR 800 triple engine that's why if you look at the Edge chassis' they have room for a triple and in the earlier one's the airbox had a spot for a 3rd carburetor.

This sled blew up and I bought a 2001 SRX. It’s on my channel

first tihing is get rid of that 2 inch tall track go back to original 121 inch long 1 inch wiper track fill that up with 288 1 1/4 ice chisel studs from woodys they are pricy but worth it get rid of them god awful skis like you said lol dont forget tunnel protectors you will defenatly need them with the studs set your back shocks to 5 and put 6 inch carbides on the skis make sure all bogey wheels are good if not replace bearings or wheels... cheaper to replace bearings but a lot more work... would be a great idea to take top end off and atleast put new rings on pistons and new gaskets at very least..... that will defenatly wake it up a little especailly for drag racing....

XCR 800 there’s no debate but it will be very nice to see what you do with this storm

For now I'm keeping in its current state. It would be nice to have the shock rebuilt and new clutch springs. I would like to learn how to tune the extra 10 suspension to get the most out of it. So much information out there on that skid I dont think it should be terribly hard to gather the data I need to make improvements.

Keep the skid and track you got on there for you’re application, you’re finding in power to the ground will be finding the right gear and clutch set up and aftermarket triple pipes and cut and re-chambered heads. Sounds like you’re in Nevada so elevation can play a big roll in what the sled wants for gearing and clutching especially depending on how high up you’re going

@@gabrielrace3532 My only goal with the sled is to win drag races from a dead stop. No rolling goes or trail stuff. We will be drag racing 660ft in warm spring time snow at about 6,200ft. It will be in late March or april. Air temp will be over 40 degrees. Any more pro tips you have would be greatly appreciated.

Leave air box on don't go to filters get a set of adjustable weights.for drags keep the secondary loose to get it to shift don't care about back shifting drag racing gear up the bottom sproket tuck the front suspension up to get it to lay flatter and bite into the snow.do some research to see where that motor wants to spin

I have always been an air box ON kinda guy. Hate those pods. I have adjustable weights on order from SLP right now. Copy on not worrying about back shifting. Copy on the gearing. What do you mean by secondary loose? Are we talking belt deflection, spring rate, or something else. Please clarify. I dont understand the "Tuck the front suspension up" part. Please clarify.

@@FeederCountry I'm pretty sure he's saying tighten the front limiter strap so you have a flat approach angle, but the problem with that would be weight transfer. Which is far more important in drag racing as you know

I've heard Storms were slightly underwhelming when compared to other class triples of the era. Would be interesting to see how much porting would get you on the sled.
