I'm sure it has nothing to do with the funding changes all 3 race departments have made the last few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crnr2Crnr 233 Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 and just like that, the reigning champs are out now it's down to just Doo & Poo & Doo & Poo & Doo & Poo & Doo & Poo... teams. it's a real nail biter in the garage for repairs as the Doo & Poo & Doo & Poo & Doo & Poo & Doo & Poo teams let their helmets warm up on their seats while not fixing anything. more at https://www.irondog.org/race/news Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not the brightest guy in the world but I don't feel adding underglow lights, LED bulbs, Sea-Foaming the engine constantly and replacing the TSS every 3rd lap would help us win. But, if they're willing to sponsor us, fuck it, I'm in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Monroe, KYB, or Bilstein? they'll need to be heavy and not perform well, but have awesome decals. do we even need to qualify for the race, or just show up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly. Iron Dog race participants consist of just a couple people that want to win followed by a ton of retards that just want to say they were in it. It's the motorsports industry's version of a running marathon. Sign up and get a T-shirt to wear for a decade to impress your friends! LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL don't you dare speak ill of the GD Soo - the Indy 500 of snowmobile racing unlike 10 minutes of racing at the Derby track on 'snowmobiles' that aren't even close to snowmobiles. Iron Dog is the ultimate clutch kit proving grounds... and slides. 11 hours ago, mnstang said: Who can cross Alaska on dirt while running shitty fuel with water in it. Sweet "race" Are you talking about the Iron Dong or Soo? Did you see last years Soo race pics? At least SX runs on oval infields and makes or trucks in snow. 11 hours ago, Sled_Hed said: He'll never get to leave the gate because the sponsor will be arguing about the best oil to run. it's Amsoil, maybe.... 11 hours ago, Zambroski said: Beautiful views tho... great job there Killer... 5 stars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
