Abstract
A snowmobile which is constructed in a unique manner to provide a tendency to oversteer to the left, which is the common direction for turns in oval track racing. The snowmobile is constructed so that the center line of the drive track is offset from the center line between the two steering ski spindles to create a moment about the center of drag of the steering skis and about the center of gravity which tends to turn the machine in a selected direction.
