racinfarmer Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 While I'd like to see it, if they get more then a dozen sleds, I'd be shocked. The guys who are all talk about racing that stuff want to enter the race for like $20, have 0 current or required safety gear, and want like a $2500 cheque for 19th place in a final and $500 to start a heater. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will happen. Have you been to the ditch banger national at erx?? It’s like a flash back to the late 90s and nothing they were racing was junk and had full gear from that era. If they do a triple race a lot of shit will come out of the barns. There is so much stuff from that era hiding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not greg b Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 There is a lot of stuff from that time period stashed away from people that parked them. It was really incredible what that race was. A lot of them said I got busy with life at that time and parked the sled and never thought about racing again. A collector would have spent a million dollars buying stuff at that race.

Many became donor sleds for the motor, pipes and electrical. I used one for an IQR convention with a HTG mounting plate and pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palu49 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I have a 1050 hooper ZRT with 600 decals on the hood and the 8’s in the heads dremeled to 6’s at my disposal. Think it’d pass tech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pleasure to see normal everyday people racing on a shoe string budget. I don't really want to shoot it down, but I don't see it working well. Pine Lake is an ice race and ISR insured, so now you are looking at sticking 192 studs in a track, some ice carbides, a tether, and all the safety gear (helmet, Tekvest, knee pads, orange jacket) to get you going. You need to enter it, rent the transponder, pay the ISR insurance, etc. It all adds up, and a lot of people aren't willing to do that for a weekend of ice racing. Hell, a lot of them aren't willing to do it for a weekend of racing at say Park Rapids, and there you can run a sled with a few studs in the track and 6" of cheap carbide. I'm not sure how the ERX stuff works, but I'm thinking you just kind of show up and if your sled has a number on it and a working tether, send it? Not sure on the ERX one, but a friend of mine did that Tri-5. He said never again. A lot of them treat it like a demo-derby on sleds. Neat idea, but put to practice, I personally think it falls short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat idea, but put to practice, I personally think it falls short. I think that it would basically be limited to people that already race and have the equipment from a cost standpoint. I’d think about going out for it just to have fun. Everyone on gunners podcast was wound up talking about it this week. I think the biggest safety issue and cost would come from literally every unrestored triple out there right now needs a track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
