Crnr2Crnr Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 @Badger**? If I have absolutely nothing better to do, or if it's at the 525 track and not -17F I'll go for amusement and a few beverages. Its the World Championships at Eagle River this weekend and right now on Floracing there isn't a sole there spectating I can see. Also funny, most of the racers I'm seeing right now were there last weekend, on the same machines. The oems seem to care less and less about this every year. Last Sunday I watched bits and pieces of the vintage races there and the winner of the vintage championship said publicly that vintage racing is the only thing keeping ice ovals alive.

p51mstg Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) I honestly didn’t realize oval/ice racing was anything other than vintage. That’s not sarcasm, I’m being honest. Edited January 14, 2022 by p51mstg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because that is the only state they race in. I guess they made the long journey across the ditch to eagle river this weekend and leave Michigan lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Oval racing has the "typical" racing problems of it costs too damn much, but you also have a group of racers who can bitch like no tomorrow, are super clicky, they have too many damn classes, and you have such a specialized sled, someone who has never raced before is looking at that vs. other forms of racing and passes it by. To top it off, there really isn't an easy way to go buy a sled off the showroom or out of a race department, buy a kit, and go race it. F500 is probably as close as it gets. One year I counted over 60 classes for vintage at ER. How many sanctioning bodies are there? I think it is fairly fractured. Some of this applies to drag racing too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at where the biggest single class turnouts in vintage racing are! They are at the damn one lunger 100 races! You have 4 classes - Relic, HR, HD, and the MF'ing Enticers. Your classes aren't diluted, you can do it on a $500 sled, it is cheap to enter, you get tons of track time, it is fun, people help one another out, you can race out of the back of a pickup, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a sled that will last, 100 miles of track time! He found like 3 different sleds, but didn't commit to any of them to go buy, so now he is thinking about just selling what he has now and buying something to just trail ride on. He likes his Nytros, so I'm finished helping him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are those? I kid, I kid. CMPR by us puts on a pretty well run show for oval racing, but I couldn't imagine racing 4 laps and done. I told him just go score up like a old pogo stick Vmax 600 or something interesting. He can match my other friend's cheap Exciter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t been up there in years to watch but they get a good turn out. Covid might have killed it because a lot of guys came down from Canada.

The sign with the silhouette of your baler looks great, your neighbor's waved but there's obviously some weird shit going on back there. Bad news, someone took off on your sled just as I was driving in. Got a picture of him though. Good news, no one has stolen your inflatable yard dragon collection yet. Let me know if you need me to forward the guy in Carhartts to the Langlade cty sheriff dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
