Well,

I participated in alot of racing this past weekend and will provide you my perspective on what I observed on the Ice side and the snow side.

First of all, we were very fortunate to have ben able to run on the lake as mother nature was not cooperating early this season.

Ice racing:

We got up there Thursday evening and rolled our Pro Stock 1000s (CK3 Doos) onto the excellent track that Ted Jennetty and his son had been maintaining all week. If you have not met Ted Sr. you should he is a gentleman in every respect. Ted Jr....awesome job driving, that's one hairy ride. Hands down Ted's boosted RX-1 is the king in 660. My brother observed a 131 MPH radar recorded run in what appeared to be about 680 feet....impressive. Chad Olivers 1404 was next in line then our 1000ps Doos. Saturday racing left our Pro Stocks in the trailer as we did not get a parking spot on that side of the lake so we just ran the trail junks Saturday.

Snow Racing:

WOW Lots of fun out there. I've got a nearly stock 05 Mach Z (Bikeman domes & pipe mod). Sorry to say that the F-1000s are not beating the Machs in short or long runs. I had only 1 F-1000 pass me at the very top (Bosssho), I know why I'm losing a bit on the top and will fix it this week. Lots of F-1000s out there for sure. Raced a Cutler 1000 F-7. That thing had some impressive top end, passed me like I was tied to a tree. F-7s are stil impressive for 700s. Some ZR 900s were running well including my weekend long racing buddy Pistol Pete.

Glad to see Roy and Chad Oliver. It's always good seeing them. They race and tell it like it is. Gentlemen.

Well that's what I saw. How about the others that were there? Let's share what we observed. Who and what was fast?


Marco Philippon

Thanks, Marco. I hope to see some Turbo Polaris sleds up there again this year. What is the ice thickness?

I was only there for Saturday, but I would have to agree with Marco, the new F-1000 are not getting it done against the Mach z's. I had a chance to run Marco's and his brother's (Guy) Mach Z's, and I must say I was impressed they go good, as I was among the front runners every pass on them. I must also say I was impressed with Pistol Pete's ZR900, it performs very well for what they call outdated. I wish I could of run somemore with my T-cat but I melted a piston mid day and was out for the count.

As for the ice racing, Ted did a great job with the track, and that Turbo rig is VERY impressive. I only observed a hand full of ice passes but there where also some quick rev's running. Rob K has a new runner, very impressive!
Well hopefully we will be able to hit Turkey pond soon for weekends full of racing. :div20:

I heard anywhere from 6-10in. The ice did make alot of funny sounds though. However there was a buttload of sleds this weekend on the lake and nobody went thru. Bunch of fast sleds and cool people= a great time.

I watched(from behind) the F7 joker with the Cutler 1000 reel in some very fast sleds after a bad launch, good 2500+ft run. Very impressive, insane top end, beautiful sled.

Thanks, Indy! Is it the same deal next weekend?

Awesome weekend of racing!! :div20: Thanks to Ted for maintaining the track all weekend!!! :div20:

Racing was awesome, had a good times with friends. Teds sled was awesome -- thanks for the track and up keep, and taking care the Pistol Pete Team for parking very THANKFUL! Hope to see you at Turkey Pond soon... Steve Also Ted Jr. great piloting the sled!! :div20: :div20:

Hello fellas. I think I need to right the wrong here on this post.Marco stated that Ted Jannettys Turbo RX1 was the king of Back lake on friday the 29th. If no one is going to give Chad Oliver his due then I'll do it. They raced twice, and both times Chad Olivers Thunder Cat beat the Yamaha. Chad works as hard as anyone on his sleds and I think it's a slap in the face for none of you to tell it like it was. Thats the problem with lake racing, no one loses. Chad Olivers sled is the sled to beat after round one. Thats the fact Jack! :beer:

Roy, that is the problem with lake racing. Can't see the start and finish, and no official scorer.

I missed the two times they ran, and actually congratulated Ted in another thread for being the King, and he noted that Chad did get by him.

So, Congratulation to Chad Oliver, winner of Round one. Chad, you told me to get to work on that cat and I should listened(my trail junk got in the way), because I surely would have learned something.

Hope to see everyone out there again real soon. :beerchug:

I was going to drive over too.. but didn't see that anyone was REALLY going to be there.. with no snow flying and ice kinda thin.. next time....

Marco...you RAT!!! All Stock huh...lol...it's all Good. That just means my little ol trail sled was running really good! Thanks for the props on that too. :beerchug: Hope to see you and Guy again soon!

Roy,

I was just replying to something else, but I was going to say two other people told me Chad edged the turbo when they ran. They also said it looked like the turbo was coming on fast too...but a win is a win is win. I can't wait to see Chad, Pistol Pete, BossCat, and Teddy run all together...but we need a wider strip! Oh, and when Jimmy get's that other Hooper dialed in for the ice...it should be right there too!

Thanks again to all of you who helped get my sled together after the....mishap...and to all those who saw me the rest of the weekend and asked about me and the sled, thank you very much too...Shows how cool everyone is! Even the SkeeeeeeeeeeeDooooers! lol

You missed A LOT of good action Dan. And Dan Sr had the Joker all dialed in with his new track, studs, and your clutch. I never got to run it with my ZR, but it ripped passed my F1000...and all the other trail sleds...on top! :beerchug:

yeah he still has studs, no chisels.. so hook up will be only good on nice hardpack. I would think.

I will bring mine and the new f1000 next time..

so prob. a few weeks til the next big outing?

I am hoping the damage is not too bad on my Hooper and to be back there for two weekends from now...if I only have the F1000 I am resigned to off ice trail sled racing. The weather is supposed to warm up this week then who knows...at least 1st CT and Lake Francis had ice on them this morning...first time all year for lake Francis.

yeah my f1000 has trail studs so..

Congratulation's to Chad Oliver!!! :beerchug: >>>Whenever you line up with Chad Oliver you better be on your game. Trust me been racing with Chad for many many years, and he's always very tuff competition. :arctic_cat_rules: :div20:

Thats why we like sanctioned racing it's the real deal with fact's!!!

Hey I like your aviator pic!!! :div20:

Boss, Looked like the Hooper ZR was running strong when I saw you running it!! :div20: Get it back together soon. :beerchug:

Hey, I'm not so sure I like the violins you miss quoted me with. Thats not right Jim.

I must give credit to Rockin F-7 for my avitar pic(nice pic), and the violins he added to the post he quoted. :frech32:

Whats not right???? LOL :smilielol: What violins??????????????? LOL :smilielol: :smilielol:

i have a couple of videos i will post later

and a couple of pics

all from sunday

Thanks Jimmy...I dropped it off at the Team Rock Racing Engine/Rebuild dept. on the way home yesterday...it was already being torn down last night. :beerchug:

brian55lvr, Looking forward to your pics and vids! Thanks.

what happened? to lean???

A lot of people were not there on Friday to see Chad beat my Turbo RX 1 and I corrected them right away in another post, I also made it clear thoughout the weekend, just saw this one this morning.

Chad Was the KING ON FRIDAY 29th, and I am working Hard to earn that Title back, I love you Guys Like Brothers and Hope you weren't hurt by anything said on here even if it wasn't me.

BUT I AM COMING FOR YOU :tease:

Nope....not too lean...it ran sick...but have you ever seen a speed boat go over at 200 mph? :banghead:

Ted, Nice follow up to Roy...and thanks again for plowing! :beerchug:

NEVER GOT TO SEE CHADS SLED GO CANT WAIT FOR TURKEY POND TO HAVE SOME GOOD RACING.......STEVE
PS MY REVZILLA WILL BE HOOKING UP :div20: :div20:

BOSSSHO, JIMS SLED NEEDS SOME SUPER TUNING TO BEAT ME LETS GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT......LOL :div20: :div20: :div20:

got pics?

Oh $hit...I forgot about your sled Steve...YES...and you too...I can't wait to see em all line up! lol Sorry bout that brother!

Dan...no no pics or videos...it was very odd, but some how no one filmed that race...you would have seen me on ESPN for F**k up of the year 2006 if it was on film! :face_crash:

Great weekend @ Back Lake. Thank you to Ted Jennetty for the race track.Your sled Rocks. :div20:

Thanks also to Pistol Pete for a great motor and help with the tuneup Sunday. :beerchug:

Took Bossho's new f1000 for a ride very impresive sled. Should make for good racing with the mach z's when they get them dialed in.Good to see everyone.Hopefully Turkey Pond will be ready soon.

Roy,

You know I had no intentions of denying anyone their do. I know Chad works incredibly hard on his sled and it shows. I did not see the 1404 and Teds sled run. Great Job beating the Turbo!

I know Chad ran Pete and Chad won by about 2 sled lengths. Pete ran Teds sled several times after that and Teds sled had Pete by 3 - 3.5 lengths each time.

Actually I'm glad to hear that because we are scratching our heads trying to figure out how to get around that Turbo sled. We had a light rider run him Sunday and got within 1 sled length, with Ted winning.

Ted,

I know you are working hard on that sled and want you to know so are we. You've got the Turkey Pond boys coming for you.

Looking forward to some more racing as soon as mother nature helps out.

Marco

I love it when a bunch of guys can get together and have a FRIENDLY COMPETATIVE GOOD TIME.

I am still working as I type this, being that this only my second race sled the wheels are turning at an alarming rate.

Ted.

sweet time this weekend up at back lake. nice to see everyone. lots of fast, impressive sleds.

looks like there will be some good racing at turkey this winter, if it ever gets cold again. the forecast over the next week does not look promising for either ice or snow - hopefully back lake survives the warm up. see you all soon!

WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN CHADS 1404 RUN ,
GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE,HAD A BLAST,
HOPEFULLY THE REVOLUTION WILL ALL GET TOGETHER AGAIN!
THANKS AS WELL TED FOR THE TRACK! AND UPKEEP!

Looking forward to you getting the black Firechicken up and running again soon too! Good to see you...Glad the Doo ran well...and I am sure it will run better soon. :beerchug:

Rockin-F-7 what going on with the pics......lol do we have any good racing shots on scenic-view yet just checking in..... :div20: :div20:

romeo the revolution has just begun. pistol petes sled was pretty close to the turbo also.

PETE'S SLED WAS VERY CLOSE HE'S NOT DONE SUPER TUNING YET SAME GOES FOR MARCO'S SLED....... :div20: :div20: :div20:
