You heard me.

I might actually dig out my winter clothes for that
That’s how I want to die.
I can't imagine the amount of beer that led up to this.
In reply to TheRX7Project :
Vodka. Swedish Vodka.
Looks fantastic!
good times. like the fact the first guy came out of the kart shaking like a leaf - you KNOW its fun when that happens.
Where do i sign up?
Nope. Still want nothing to do with real winter or snow.

Cold does that too
Must have specially made seats to fit there enormous man parts
I didn't watch the whole video but Imagine the sleds are going faster.

This was my thoughts. They reminded me of myself trying to go around a slalom course. I have a E36 M3load of fun and spend more time going sideways than not, and hitting anything that is remotely orange, but it sure as E36 M3 is slow! If the walls on the run had been cones the driver would have cleared the entire field.Kind of like a drunk Irish man walking down a hall. Rick O'shea.

Fastest time shown was 1:00.?. I suspect that the bobsledders have a little more experience with the course in question, but the sled certainly should be capable of going faster assuming it can corner as fast as the sled.
What a terrible, ridiculous, awesome idea.
They should be going up the track.

Michele Mouton would like a word. When she broke the Pike's Peak record, she suggested to a bitchy Unser "If you have the balls, you can try to race me back down..."

Ha, yeah I've seen that footage. I was thinking more along the line of a shifter kart plus ice tires would go up at a good pace and require a bit of commitment where the sled kinda seems like the fastest way down. Guard those acute entrances on the way up though.
Oooo, that would be an ugly accident if you hit one of those. Not much margin for error, either. You'd have to basically wall off the entrance.
I too was thinking going up would be awesome. Going down with a motor is probably just as fast as going down without a motor.
In reply to NOHOME :
whoa haven't been that insulted since I listened to Sen. Sasse. He did apologize for the ethnic slur tho'. I'm only kidding. We Irish walk straight it's the English that can't stay upright. 
Wanna see scary? I took my CR250 powered shifter kart out for a few laps on my indoor kart track today and set a new track record, even though I lost a shifter bolt and could only use one gear 250 Superkart Indoors

I'd hazard a guess a proper bobsled or luge would be way faster. Those big banked turns, they're a foot or two from the top of the banking. If you've ever watched bobsled/luge, particularly if you've seen it in person, this looks like a really slow way down the track. Not to say it wouldn't be fun, but not fast compared to sleds.
They mention the speed they are going in there. It's over 100, I assume KM/H. That's all I got as I don't speak German. Bobsleds do about 140 KM/H. Maybe one of you guys that have a Porch can get the speed out of the commentary.
I'd go back to snow for that.
