Since there’s no SOO thread yet…

How many times will Cadarette break an aftermarket spindle with a 5 lap lead before they just try running stock ones?

Depends on how many they bring with them. 

Just drove by the track. They are out getting it ready. They are probably watering it because they have the whole thing lit up like a Christmas tree.

I figured they were. They usually aren’t out there that late unless they are making ice. I couldn’t see down into the track from south bound 75 on my way home. 

the god damned soo

 

Looks like it is going well. They have been at it all day. 

Yeah Bill (the race director) posted a video of him cruising the track in the water truck.

I saw that one. Deadication to do that all day. I am about to drive passed it again. Still snowing. 

COR season ender will be 3 days of racing, each day for points and purse.  

Looks like a pretty damn good format to me.

Just drove passed the track. They have the packer out with the tractors to drive the frost into the ground 

Calvin & Hobbs kinda fit this year.

What third world event is this shitbag race? They don’t even have a website. Looks like it’s held on some Indian reservation. Does that mean the annual shortage of windshield washer fluid will occur in March again?

Biggest number of individual entries and on average, the coolest trophies in all of XC.

The unproven belt drive that no sane OEM would run on a trail sled. That same belt drive? The belt drive Cat knew couldn’t survive the Iron Dog so they refused to provide race sleds to any teams.

They didn't have enough to go around for racers than ran in races people actually give a shit about...

Somebody in the marketing department put non ES RXC sleds for sales to consumers when they were only supposed to go to racers. 

So now there are a bunch owned by people who are going to bitch about them being too stiff, and some sitting unsold on dealers floors.

Still here! Was supposed to make it to Pine Lake 2 weeks ago, we were there, the ice wasn’t! Just watching Facebook for updates…

Not there either, heading to NM in the morning.
