fortune46x Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 As per request ... the thread is here.. Silly season: CBR closes its doors Boss closes its doors New team formed based out of Fargo - rumor mill is it will be a cat team. Chaney from boss will be crew chief , and Brian Straswel will be managing the team (Brian managed the Factory Yamaha team in the 90's and worked with CBR for years) I have a ton of changes to share but do not want to tell where they are going until I know I can. Elias has a new home (not to polaris) Benham is leaving warnert Yurk is leaving Zandstra Scheele is looking for a ride Lincoln Lemouix is out , not sure if he will be back or not. Logan Christian to Scheuring There's more and ill update the list as I remember them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Covid idiocy really hurt the teams last year.....in a sport where breaking even really isn't even a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Anson should go race XC. He is damn good at it. What is the deal with Woodies? Their big hauler is up for sale on and off. That is one group I haven't figured out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's moving to Warnert to accompany Frank? Was fun BS'ing with Cody at E.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know for sure and with Textron doing who fucking knows what but, Paul mentioned he was looking to upgrade his big rig a year ago so, maybe he’s on and off with the sale? Gotta be almost no market for that monster right now. Eeesh. And we think selling a sled is tough!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sold my brother's race hauler for a tidy profit this spring. I can say I'd never buy a trailer that has lived it's life in salt and sand, wrapped.

Duluth may make an appearance , but it wont be the opening round like it traditionally has been. Most liked the condensed schedule , Its just hard when most of us have full time jobs and are gone for two weekends in a row (meaning you fly out thursday so you're taking off at least half a day, then friday).

zr800m10 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Wouldn't it be fun to have another brand in the races? Lynx (yes I'm a great Lynx fan) As a Swede I'm curious as to where Oscar Norum is going, he had a good eason last year, and of course where will Elias Ishoel end up?

The people that run the ski hill here are retards. I personally didn’t care for the race kicking off on T-giving weekend and certainly didn’t like it coming down the last week on weather to see if we were gonna be standing in muddy snirt or not. Still, I hope it finds its way back to Duluth. A lot of history kicking off the SX season in Duluth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao, and they had to stop racing do to too much snow ❄️ LOL, yes... it was a ludicrous amount of snow and for safety reasons it made sense. Duluth being the season opener makes good sense, but maybe not on Thanksgiving weekend. Same goes for Geneva at the end of March. Fwiw, Eagle River was a great season closer, (was there the first weekend) and close to home to go watch and hang with @fortune46xthe ones that make me chuckle are the ones in bumblefuck SD and Iowa, or any places that don't normally get ridable snow. Where's Elias going... That's the $64k question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Security while they have a tough job , all isoc staff wear the same badging on their coats, they don't sell the fxr coats like the isoc staff wear with those badges , and they were stopping everyone (including staff carrying things in to get setup) to ask for wrist bands even after passing through multiple times. Multiple pro team owners said the "derby staff" (wearing the bright yellow jackets) walked into pro trailers without reason, The one incident I was in there for was to yell at a pro team for having too many utv/atvs outside of their trailer in the driveway - it was the support classes in the morning that run that clogged up the mix not a pro team. I had a few walk into the tech trailer for no reason when we were handling a few tense situations and just stand there - no reason for it but there they were.

I’d say it’s tough to fully control a volunteer staff but, it’s clear the kids that are on the payroll aren’t a whole lot better. It’s easy to damn near get hosed last when the staff is watching the wreckage on the track instead of flagging the ol’ yeller. We had a phenomenal and experienced crew in Duluth. Too bad it’s over now. I heard they are just gonna shut down the ski slopes and put up more affordable housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the new owners of the track want to build up on the track and ground activities which is a nice change from the previous owners. We deal with similar situations at Nascar events and its normally the local staff. We have an all access Nascar license and still get stopped at gates and denied access. We also find people in our fenced in area and have no idea how they got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
