The Arctic Cat's rear end needs to be much much lower and the rear wheel further back. Needs a windshield too. This thing has gotta be WICKED FAST I think I'd like to do that to a four stroker.
That sled reminded me of two things.

1) You can buy basically the same thing right now: BRP Can-Am Spyder Roadster
I've seen a couple driving around.

2) There was recently a converted snowmachine racing at Bonneville. There's a few more pics, including some in the pits, if you poke around on that site.

Combine the two and you'd have a fast, fun, efficient commuter.
