CR RACING Kelowna , BC.

So, I have a Yamaha Nytro mountain, an MCXpress turbo kit that needs to be installed and a hankering to rip up some deep Canadian powder. Where do I take my sled ? Well, to the best. CR Racing in Kelowna, BC is owned and operated by Chad Rebec. His shop is located in a very modern industrial area of Kelowna and has easy access. First Door you walk through is the showroom, full of goodies for the sled-mod-head. I was frothing at the mouth within 5 minutes of entry. I have always wanted a CR tunnel. Looking at other aftermarket tunnels, I can see the difference. The quality in craftsmanship at CR is second to none. Every attention to detail is unsurpassed. They really are works of hand-crafted art.


I saw such a plethora of parts there, everything that could satisfy your sledding soul. I never did like the riding position on the Nytro. The bars were too low and pointed right at your chest. After taking a creek hard last winter and shearing off the bars with my chest, I was #1 going to get chest protection, and #2 relocate the bars. When you get the steering post and bar risers from CR, If you were to crash and take the bars to your mid section, at least they will move forward and take up some of the blow. Plus they are fully adjustable to your riding style and body shape. HUGE BONUS !!


The stock Yamaha risers are just a joke, and pain waiting to happen. Do yourself a favour and get the post. It now moves to steering location ahead about 2.5 inches and the risers are downright bomber looking.

They unloaded my sled and brought it into the mega shop, where there were several super sick projects going on, everything from meth injection to Propane powered turbo sleds. Chad is the mastermind and builder behind the world's fastest and most powerful mountain sled " RATED R " . A widely published and respected nitro methane powered sled with 750+ hp on tap. I was priveledged enough to watch and record Chad take this sled across a frozen lake. I think my jaw hit the ground on several occasions , let's just say I was awestruck.

So I knew my machine was in good hands. When your installing a turbo on your sled, there are a number of critical steps that must be performed 100% correctly or disaster will ensue. If you consider yourself a good wrench, think again. Do yourself a favour and spend the couple extra bucks on intallation, because a new motor from Yamaha aint cheap by any means. When your tapping out 250+ hp out of a motor with stock values of 130hp , and your install wasn't done correctly.... kaboom. That's it.

The operations at CR are well organized and smooth. And the shop is set up to modify or build almost anything. I wanted a CR 162 tunnel for my sled and chrome extrusions. Chad built one for me as I had ordered it ahead of time. With the MCXpress kits you get a muffler that hangs out the back right next to the intake. This causes a whole lot of problems because the snow is heated by the pipe and because it is right next to the intake, water is sucked in, turns to ice, and causes serious problems. Chad's team of developers came up with a system that takes the exhaust and dumps it into the tunnel onto the track, seperating the two so you get a mean sound and no intake problems.
