There are NO Z1Turbos that can do that, because you can't get race fuel on the trail, so they are at stock TURD-like low boost levels!

Great job Mike. Can I hire you to organize and pimp out my garage. I got the space, but I don't have the look yet. Just a thought. Stuff our faces at Pete's and visit the man cave after. Just a thought????? Totally up to you - no pressure. Would love to be the first to spill a beer on that beautiful floor. See you at Pete's.

You do a great job setting up the garage/man cave.....
We need a couple of beers and a decent night to bless the cave....

Your garage looks awesome! I move into my house in 2 weeks! I want that same flooring!!
Details please on how to lay it down! Do you just roll it out? How tough is it, and how well do you think it would hold up to a snowmobile? Well, snowmobile on 3 dollys to roll it around!
Thanks!

See you at Pete's. We can all talk about it there. Mike you are the ultimate host! If Mid Ohio was any indication of your "hosting" skills, then I fear my garage may lose the title of the East End Club House. Thanks pal. See you later.

Hey Mike, nice job!
I just put a new floor (Allure) in mine and held a significant birthday party for Nancy in the garage. 40 guests and lots of room. I also just won a 46 " flat screen that I may install there as well. (Nancy will always know where to find me
!)
I am thinking of buying one of those garage mats from Costco to lay down for the winter under Nancy's car to catch the salt and snow. Not really necessary, but the idea is that once the crap has melted off the car, I can just grab it by the corners and pull it outside to clean it up.

he wants a fast sled,lol,,,,
Twenty-one class wins at the largest grass drag race in history… a new 141mph world speed record with a stock sled on asphalt… and news that Team Arctic’s Tucker Hibbert will compete in the entire ISOC national snocross circuit this season! Yep, it was an ugly weekend for any brand other than Arctic Cat.
Aboard a stock, race-prepped Arctic Cat Z1 Turbo equipped with an asphalt drag track, boosted turbocharger and tweaks to the clutching, Howard ripped through the quarter-mile with a 140.91 mph/8.863-second elapsed time, setting a new world record for a stock snowmobile.

Mine's not the diamond plate, but same commercial grade with lifetime warranty. Looked at Racedeck and others but went with the Allure because it conforms to my uneven floor the best. When I extended my garage, there is a small ridge where the old and new concrete meet.

The flooring adds a whole new dimension. The garage feels like part of the house now and not a garage. Also makes the floor much warmer.
Judging from the pictures of yours, the two of us could open a new Princess Auto and not have to spend any money on inventory for tools. We could be rich
.Good luck on finding that new sled.

The last floor looks like a coating?
I move into my house in 2 weeks....garage floor area is about 20x11+.
I'd like to put something down before putting all my junk in there!! It's heated by the house and fully insulated....

My floor is actually a flexible tile called Allure. It is available in three different colours and two different patterns. It is available at Home Depot and comes with a lifetime warranty when used in a residential application. It was very easy to install. The tiles do not adhere to the floor but adhere to each other. Took me two days for over 700 sq ft. Initially I wanted a Racedeck floor, but the price was about double and as mentioned in my previous post, my floor is a little uneven and I was worried about Racedeck conforming to it. Lowes also had a nice interlocking tile that I considered.

Thats exactly what I missed in Caesarea, the garage NOT being part of the house. Way nicer set up there, but trudging across the street every time I needed something turned out to be a deal breaker.
My garage in Sutton was also a "part" of the house. When we had parties, people would always congregate to the garage, kinda like everyone at a party hanging out in the kitchen
