Has anyone heard of this. My friend told me that there is going to be a race on the 20th of Jan. He told me that anyone can enter a sled. Let me know if anyone is attending and planning to race.

Was thinking of going--- if there's snow I'll ride down there and maybe end up racing, but probobaly won't trailer the sled down if no snow still--

Heres the link with all the info.

it's new-- they cleared a track in a corn field- no grass-

nice does the race get cancelled if there is no snow

Lets get a poll of whose going. Say if your going or not, and what u'll be running!

I'll be ther with the black 03 f7!

i'll be there on my 06 yamaha apex rtx

Ill be there with a stock 2004 REV 800 HO, ripsaw no studs.

If its hard dirt, I mise well stay on the trailer, but hardpack snow ill be ok.

All black, low, fixed custom windshield will give me away.. HCS'ers say whats up!!!

Ill be there with this.

Mines pretty much stock... Fuel reducer and some clutch time... runs good.

When i get there i will have around 200 1.325 studs...hopefully that will help. I havent decided if im goin gto strap it doewn yet or not.

Im going to leave the gears stock, but bring otehrs to try.

I'll be running it in the stock class, whose going to be my competition?

So what is a "Stock" F? .......

Look for my sled, and a green Cat with 007 on the side in chrome numbers.
We got something for ya to chew on....

^^ Interesting. I hope you are fibbing about your rev being stock with no studs...??

Anyone know more about how its all going to work? We have to be there at 7:30?? How do they chose who races who, and when... Ive never been to this type of race, ive only raced on the lake with friends and locals

I was told that the guy who puts this thing on is the guy to watch out for. Red f7 and WICKED fast... sounds exciting....mmuuuuhhaaaaahhhhaaaaaa

Honest truth. I probebly wont even take it off the trailer. I know its not worth it.
Its got a Ripsaw on it, thats it.

If theres riding in the area, we may race, and then ride alittle. We'll see.

Raced Jim M. many times up here on the pond,won some and lost some to him.

JJDREVCT: And to think i was just about to bash you for having a yammi in your avatar, nice bike, what year?

800ho: Tell me more about the f7. Is your REV stock? if not whats done to it? Will you and i be in the same class seeing mine is a 700...how does this whole race saturday work... how do they determine who races who and when, and whose in what class?

red-NEK: stock means... studs, fuel reducer, and clutching. Basiclaly stock

My new bike is an 2006 GSX-R 1000. Silver/Black.
Been trying to change my avatar all day. Dont know why it doesnt work.

Just talked to a guy from NEK DRAG RACING. They packed the track last night, and he said
with the cold weather, it should be a nice hard packed snow track......

See ya then, with the stock Rev 800........

i plan on going

You should be fine if you show up between 8:00 and 9:00

Do out of state sleds have to be registered in VT. to run??

You don't have to be registerd anywhere to run on the track. That means you will have to Trailer there though.

I'll be trailering. Im registered and insured, but havent joined a club yet.

Is there enough snow to ride down from East burke?

If there is it is going to be marginal. Supose to get some more snow Friday ..... possibly ..... so cross your fingers.

Hey Red, just to clarify, should we expect hard packed snow (4-6 inches) or will it be down to the dirt.

I know regardless, by the end of the day the first 100 feet will be dirt, but what exactly are the track conditions to start?

I am going to be as honest as I can here. It will be packed and hopefully setup with some cold temps before this Sat, but by the end of the day you are probably going to see some dirt on the starting line. Unfortunetly there is not a whole lot of snow to work with to try and keep it packed all day.

Sounds like the best answer you could have given!!! Se ya then.

I went up yesterday to look at the track to try to get my sled setup the best possible for the conditions. I observed about 8-10 inches of powder in the field, and they have bene packing it down. The track itself is rock hard, and is smooth as a babys bottom.

You guys have done a GREAT job with it!!

The temps have been cold and are going to contiue to stay cold until saturday afternoon. Saturdays high for Lyndonville is only about 9 degrees F. Its snowing there now and are supposed to get 1-3 inches today...

So, my guess would be the strip is going to be about as good as it could be with temps and amount of snow cooperating perfectly!

As far as riding there, i did notice that the groomer went through burke yesterday and not one sled had been across it yet. But the snow is marginal and i did see dirt spots...so best bet would be to trailer in.

Hope that helps, i should have taken pictures! Sorry...

Sounds good. Thanks for the report.

No problem. The guys just came and picked up my sled. There going to "massage" it a bit to get ready for tomorrow... ha! Cant wiat.

I hope that massage comes with the "Happy Ending"

good luck tomorrow-- we're all gonna ride down from Burke to watch if things look like we can pick our way through--- supposed to snow through tomorrow-- have fun--

Well, there just going to clean the clutches one more time, add some more studs, and mabye strap it down...not a big deal... Does anyone know how it works? You lose the first race and your done for the day or what?

hey guys, that post from VAST is LAST YEARS....schedule for 2008 is Sat Feb 9 & 23, and Mar 8. First class starts 11 am, registrations close at 10:30, drivers meeting 10:30, tech your machines 10:40-11.

Track is 2 lanes 20ft wide, 10"+ ice for first 100ft or so, continues with another 550 ft hard packed snow. Payout is cash for 1-2 places. Last race 1/26 saw 103 entries spread over 14 classes.

Double Elimination. ISR (International Snowmobile Racing) is who sanctions us, and their point system calls for 5 pts for 1st, 4 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, 2 for 4th and 1 for 5th. We give 1 pt each to everyone who comes that/each week and we have a high points trophy at end of year in EACH class. We have a CONSOLATION round race off for 5th place so we tell you not to put your sleds away if you lost one or two races.
