What a pleasant surprise!!! Talked to John at Pierres yesterday and they were out dialing one in on Tuesday...After 50 or so miles they drag raced one against a dragon 700...After 600 feet the D8 was 7 sled lengths ahead!!! All John could say is the 8's are awesome!!! Will have pics later in the day!!!! Breaking it in tomorrow morning!!!:D

Yup, I'm with most of you guys, I'm 42 and I can't remember when I was this excited. Dealer called and my 08 800 163 should be ready for pick up this weekend or early next week at the latest. I currently have a 07 700 dragon and its hard to believe (IMO) that the D8 can be that much better. I love the old dragon, what going to happen when I sit on the new one ?

You will suddenly be overcome with the desire to give the "old" one to a short fat grey headed guy in central Washington.

(call, I'll even come and get it!) :beer;

I can relate to that feeling. I loved the 07 700, and to capture the same chassis with a stronger motor is the best gift ever. I can't wait for the 155's. I hope they show up STAT>

Woah... I read the topic and thought you were talking about a D-8 BULLDOZER... Guess my mind is soft from a lack of snow... Hope the new sled is NOTHING like a bulldozer...

I saw three leave the dealership in Bend yesterday. Those fellows looked excited. Maybe we'll get a little more snow and make those 163" tracks worthwhile!
