I also avoid snowmobile racing, especially the track variety. Oh boy, what a thrill that would be to have a snowmobile land on you. Pragmatism moves me to avoid a number of adrenaline rush experiences. I've often thought that skydiving would be pretty wild but have concluded that it's just too much of a cheap thrill. I go for semi-rugged mountain climbing instead. Not the oxygen supported snow and ice variety, rather 9 or 10 K altitude fair weather climbs. I'm not nuts.
We're not talking about air-racing here which would be an apt comparison to snowmobile racing or motocross.

Unlimited-class air-racing = insanity:
