Not greg b Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Now I am kicking myself for not going to the race. In the video I just saw, 19 clearly won but it was about a ski length if that. And that track was beat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK440 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Ross Erdman was a dickhead, bumping the other guy repeatedly down a straight away. Too bad he didn’t injure himself at the end when he went into the hay bales. There are clips of the race on YouTube, watched a few last night along with the most recent one in Eagle River. Oval racing is boring as hell. Not a ton of spectators at Eagle River. I don’t know how many they typically get at the Soo but there was plenty of room to sit and watch that race from the steep bank people were standing on. There’s a channel call snocross that has a bunch of old sno-x races from ‘99-‘04. Those were entertaining to watch. The videos aren’t terribly long and the action is great. I think the racing is better than the current sno-x events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you missed the winning sled taking a huge run sideways at him before Ross tried to pinch him low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I didn’t see anything like that. I watched the clip on YouTube that I believe was Flo-racing footage. I didn’t realize there was more to the story.

Then makes a hard swerve over. Edited February 6, 2023 by racinfarmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 IDK @racinfarmer, saw footage on the book later last night from the hill and Burch definitely went up into Ross after banging the skis back onto the ground. Intentional or not... still a bit too aggressive banging back and forth at those speeds and considering his father passed away at the track seventeen years ago. there's also seems to be a bit of a dispute about where the finish line is and where the transponder is located on the sled. Regardless of opinion, they're not going to reverse anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune46x Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Fwiw... My laps transponder equipment only reads 3 digits after the decimal. this one came down to the flag man I am betting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad’s retirement job provides the I500 with tractors and the snow plows. One of those maintenance guys will know exactly where it is.
