Cats is behind the right side panel. Doo's is up towards the steering post. a long way from the knees. When a transition/Junior racer is given 4 sleds its easy to see why theres so many of one brand out there. Cat came to the table this year too late after free riders had their deals set - that plus the lack of contingency money cost them the riders. The winnings don't pay the bills its the OEM's contingency that does. I got a call that if we still had the fuel cap (we did) that Polaris wanted it, I'm guessing you will see those filler necks covered up this next round. Every trailer has to have a fire extinguisher readily available, until now we didnt need to have them on the track but that could very well change.

sounded like they've been asked to take them down. no one got in trouble - his knee spun the cap off - theres other riders that have had that problem. Heres the video fire.mov

Thats what the pros said - the back section was critical to get it right - it wasn't just a highway to pin it and let it eat like other tracks are

The one thing the live stream missed was Taylor Cole being set on fire (literally) when his gas cap came off his sled and turned him into a fire ball - I see alot of the posts (ridex365 and others) have been taken down - Im guessing polaris didnt care for the publicity they were getting from their racer being ricky bobby'd

Its a new venue , I am not sure about track layout - The layout in fargo was super racey and technical - I am hoping they can do it again this next weekend

If we can even get there... stupid snow storm and supposedly Fargo is pure ice.

wait a minute thats not a butter burger

Zero corn dogs but beef jerky.,.. it was in the rhythm section in the back side. The main issue this weekend was it was 50 degrees Friday and 40 the next - the track literally fell apart race after race after race. and the holes were insane , I'm 6' tall and when I stood in the holes they were well over my head. The lower racers were constantly complaining when it was just a bowl turn that allowed them to develop lines and requested split lanes (dumb) Xgames tracks were shit shows - the last year of snocross they had riders coming head on at one another. I was there , the locals said the snow isn't what it normally is up there really thin and no base.

'The irony here was we had hot dogs for lunch one day this weekend , and you can imagine the conversation in the trailer amongst the tech guys, staging guys and race directors in regards to the meal and other people at the track lmao

lol I dont think ill be getting another 7000 unless they find a way to get the engine lower in the chassis so it doesnt roll over itself.

It was great seeing Blair at the races all year last year, sucks with COVID we are missing so many riders and guys like him in the pits.

The Yamaha thing came up when Textron came up .. Yamaha didnt want it for what was being asked. I'd say its another year of BNG unless they have to do something to get sleds into canada next year.

they have a +30 ... lol oh you mean vintage sled class? at one point they did at regionals but that went by the wayside.

Blaine is one baaad dude , Well deserved win.

I had a candlelight vigil for Joe.... such a sad state of affairs.

I am surprised at that... I thought they would have more of a seat like This

No , I haven't had a chance to even think about it - trying to get my shitbox back together for the weekend for snowfest and geti some vintage iron done too

most cant handle a 600 on a snocross track lol. I want an adult 200 class , 206 briggs engine open suspension mods

Highly doubtful. The misconseption of mods its entertaining. From an engine standpoint There has not been true mod sleds since 2012/13 season (in the 600 platform), in 13/14+ the only thing you could do was twins, and a head cut until the mods went away after the 16/17 season. The chassis now is stock based with material allowed to be added but not removed - the mod chassis was open but not carbon fiber/Ti allowed and it had a minimum weight requirement. most used a stock chassis and added material. In the "mod class" they were required to have commercially available components (identical to today) And Ill tell you right now the mod sleds were quieter than the single piped bro cans they use now. Polaris pushed the stock class rule , convinced cat and then it passed with majority vote - Skidoo was against it, now look at where skidoo is.

Tucker was a blast to watch because he would mix and match lines , it was never single lined for him nor did he follow anyone for 20 laps. Elias is learning that and its clear as day especially when you watch him passing 2/3 people a lap.

You should smell the line after they leave... burnt belts like crazy. If I had to guess they had the deflection set incorrect or the ECU was set too high with the hot start and the clutch was hourglassing the belt. Usually its a DQ for jumping on yellow , but I think due to the situation they backed off the penalty. He secured a team spot with Thene motorsports late in the pre season and didn't get his "Essential employee" visa done in time for the first two rounds - he is expected to show up at Deadwood.

1. where do I put my purse? 2. will men be involved? 3. cant too busy soliciting dudes online 4. insert another joke about sucking cock here. 5. id like to but my uncle is coming over to defrigment my drive if ya know what I mean.... Joe sucks, I hope he dies of snake aids .

I am not responding to that shit show on social media - what happend was frank blew a belt , the finish line flagger had his flag up but was in his normal post, and was not directing traffic on the face (like he should have been) which way to go , people jumped on the yellow (you had to commit to the jump early and if you didn't see the flagger it was too late) and that caused the pileup Norum jumped on the yellow on the second time by the finish line. They reviewed it post race and penalized him for it. Normally it would be a DQ but there was more to it is my understanding.

So a few things while I wait for my 11:19 dinner after working 15 hours today on 4 hours of sleep (party) and my back is screaming.. Sorry cube - Steve Houle works for Dan B 221 clutching for him exclusively , Jeremy is working with Cottew, Cole, and Frattalone racing. And Dave from speedwerx is clutching/wrenching for both Cole boys (which explains the reason for Taylors talent for finally shine through) I sealed a total of 5 Skidoo engines this weekend , the Variance between the port specs (18 in transfers, 14 in intake ports, and 13 in exhaust ports and 8 in boost ports) is less in .03 mm in the 5 engines. Thats impressive, and when you look at the machining of it all compared to the other two its truely next level. The womens class is no joke , these ladies give it hell and its aggressive as all get out. the 200 sled is unreal , that kid is averaging 80+% on any race , hes 140lbs soaking wet and throws that sled around like its nothing. The pro class is just getting started, the pro lite class is wild and the sport class is filled will talent. Some nice blue haired lady just dropped off my dinner so I am going to eat, numb myself out with a beer or few and Ill chime in later after some sleep and I dont feel like warmed up asshole.
