racinfarmer Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I hope there are more sleds there then what I have found in the results online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 curiosity @Zambroski Regardless, some race teams are already tearing into existing 600-class snocross-based race machines from Arctic Cat, Polaris and Ski-Doo to prepare. The switch to a Formula III-based World Championship may currently be 19 months away, but the Formula III class will begin running at tracks across the Snowbelt starting this coming December, so teams are rushing to get their plans sorted out. Meanwhile, those three snowmobile manufacturers have already pledged to support the class with contingency dollars for racers to chase. https://snowgoer.com/news/behind-the-rules-overhaul-that-will-the-world-championship-oval-class/27234/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a small venue race with a smaller track for fan viewing plus, oval track racing is fun to watch. XC just isn't going to ever get any fan traction due to it's characteristics. Hell, I'll for sure head to the ovals for some fun...but I'm not standing out on some fucking windblown frozen lake to see a minute or two of sleds pass by every 15 or 20. Most won't. The fun there is racing or being on a team. If I ain't either of those....I'll pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think spectators (consumers) can actually relate to the F3/Mira/SX/USXC sleds - unlike the Champ Sleds which as pointed out in the article are the snowmobile equivalent of Formula 1 cars. We have a good roundy-round ice oval here in town, and if we still don't have ridable snow when the show comes to town, I'll go watch and have a few beverages. https://www.wausau525.com/schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doo clobbered them all by a wide margin. Lighter weight too. if oval racing had a stronger presence, maybe the manu's would be pushing harder. the footage is still up https://www.facebook.com/FloRacing.tv/videos/1641449596054428/ Edited January 19, 2021 by Crnr2Crnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like 3 Cats in the MIRA enduro. I'd guess that was probably one of the better races of the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soo being cancelled sucks for @fortune46x as I know it's his favorite race. Edited January 19, 2021 by Crnr2Crnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
