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. For sure , The biggest issue is with the consolidated schedule getting a full time regular crew for snocross is hard , and when the guys that are supposed to be teaching them the ropes aren't much better it turns into a mess. 39 minutes ago, Doug said: That's to bad. 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. I've run into it with the offroad stuff too. The security at crandon (ironically some of the same guys as at eagle river) tried busting my balls for a pit vehicle and I am a series official I love What Craig and his co owners are doing with the place , but some of the "old blood" is going to have to go to make it successful and regain its growth unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just poorly run and managed…suckling from the taxpayers to stay open while continuing to make poor decisions. Shut it down and build houses.

It was always good for me to have at least one near death experience per day..... @Zambroski Spirit Mountain was never profitable from its inception in the '70's. BUT, that race did bring a TON of $$ in to Duluth for that weekend. I miss working it and hope to have the opportunity to do it again. Even back when I worked it as a paramedic, I had a great time. There used to be some real gnarly crashes at that venue.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few scars across the bridge of my nose from carbides. Sadly, my closest near death was an out of control snow bike. I’d be prouder to die of gay aids than by one of those god damn things! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no wonder someone didn't get killed....including us..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
