I'm no moderator so it is unofficial but any ice out there yet and will there be a track built this year with CAUTION TAPE AND SIGNAGE?????

I tried drilling a test hole from my row boat

I'd wait a couple of weeks. Hopefully I have enough time to get my dock out.

It was so cold last night at the Grass Drags on Boyle Rd that I was just going to hop on the River and ride home to Colbeck Dr.........
But Ollie stuck around to the BITTER end and let me jump on his trailer so I didn't bother....Thanks Ollie!

Is there a special technic to get carp out of your studs.

Hey Josh, just get your shit together quick!! We'll have ice up my way very soon... I think a road trip will be called for..

I was in the crick by my Mom's house (Deep End Old train bridge ) clearing a tree that fell across blocking the canoe and Skidoo route. It felt cold through the hipwaders. Felt good to see the 2 stroke smoke from the chainsaw drift over the water. Chainsaw is a modified 20 year old skihl with gold fleck paint and a pipe. Other than that it is completly stock so it qualifies for use on the river

well it looks like I am out numbered this year by team ski-doo. How on earth will my little twin compete with all those big bore triples tearing up the river???? Time will tell I guess, see you boys at the Heritage party, polish up your bench racing stools!!!

what did you buy Josh?..who's having the Heritage party this year?

Whats up with the Heritage party?
Who, when and where?

mxzollie has stepped up for the heritage party this year, hone up on your bench racing skills boys!!

Your thread is losing steam, Josh. Somebody should post something politically incorrect or controversial, then we'll really get the 'Welland River Thread' a rockin'.

Ice prediction for the River - January 6th 2008

OK HOW ABOUT THIS.... WHO WILL BE THE FASTEST MPH RUNNER ON THE RIVER THIS YEAR??????SERIOUS QUESTION, YOU THINK YOU ARE THE GUY POST YOUR MPH PREDICTION..

And now we sit back and wait for that guy on the xc700 from last year to post...LOL

Are you talking about that guy who wanted to race for PINKS last year?
MPH predictions...good idea to really stir the shit up!
So, I guess what you really mean is who is going to make the fastest pass on the KEYBOARD then back it up on the ICE!!
Never know, maybe there will be some stealth mods going on......

My saw is the Hot Saw 2007 champ. but it's stock

heritage party is at my house sat nov 24th. details to follow. i drove some of the river. no ice yet. My prediction of rideable ice is is first week of jan.

Houle is being stripped of its tripple duties as a race,trail, and familly sled. Will make its comeback, rejoining Team 809 @ 120.

Stock Pipes or Mod Pipes?
What are you gearing and clutching for, 1000', 1320', 1500' or 2000'?

we should determine what MEASURED distance we are going to talk about here, I'm up for anything. Once we pick the distance we'll pick the location

Now we're getting serious! So just to recap, we are going to 'claim' a speed, then pick a distance, then pick a location, then......GIT 'R DONE!
What are we going to call this little brew ha ha? Maybe......

THE HERITAGE SHOOTOUT?

lets all determine the distance before we pick location and then finally speed.

I like 1500 feet, anyone else?

1500

You know everything is stock on the River Redlined

1500 ft, becketts bridge, 131.3.

Thats what you're calling on your F7?
Holy shit!
So, do we agree, 1500 ft? Haven't heard from mxzollie yet.

Gotta give ya credit, Josh, you really started shit....and...we know you got the skills to pay the bills....
If I knew half of what you did about clutching and gearing, I would have opened this can of worms myself....

BTW - is Becketts bridge the train bridge between O'Reilly's and Regional Rd. #24?

Becketts is the one by the 2x4, we can use the gps to count out the feet and then get the gun out. As for the 131.3, maybe I am asking for alot from a stocker, guess we'll have to wait and see..

EDIT:I should adjust my original mph assumption based on the fact that this would be snow running not ice running if we all agree on the location. The 131.3 should actually be 128.3, probably still a stretch for a stocker but I have waxed the hood this year for wind resistance purposes, Damn thats one more secret than I wanted to give out already....

Thanks for the props but from what I see you are the "wolf in sheeps clothing" I'll have all I can handle from your mach this winter if it runs as hard as it was at Boyle.

doc1 you going to pull out that flamed mach this winter??

You are one funny guy, jminor, the question is, what kind of wax did you use.....?
As for Beckett's bridge (we all know your 'playground') that would mean we would be running from west to east, correct?
I will need all this information as I make my calculations.....what moon phase do you think we will be in when we run...?(hopefully full moon according to my calculations)....

Hell Yeah! We'll be out a couple times but probaly won't do a full pass in front of Chads. A little to hary for me. Dad might though. I hope it'll do 120+. If it does that then anything more is just for shits and giggles. We'll change the gearing back to stock and change the clutching to what it should be and give'er hell. If there's ice at Puschlinch early we'll see how she goes on a friends gun. It's going to be a sick year!

I found another Houle seat on ebay, sans no rip. That rip cost me some big mph last year, it ripped at 117 and actually slowed me down to 114. Josh if your stocker in stock trim..even for the river, does 130+, I'll eat my old seat. Too much bag lickin goin on around here. ...... Your great..no I think your great, but I love you more..lol

Better "bag licking" than the alternative....we all know how some people feel about darts being fired at them..
OH YEAH THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD THREAD!!!

The altrenative to bag licking is licking pussy!! Are you saying you would rather lick some balls?? I know your not into skidoo's but this alternative lifestyle of yours would not be acceptable.

So, how many feet do you wanna run?

any distance 132.Are you running your wifes F7. I thought you ran yamaha. I guess your getting good at switching teams you bag licker.

we heard some rumours from a drucken "friend" of yours josh......he says 130 is lowballin. Thats alotta wax.

we heard some rumours from a drucken "friend" of yours josh......he says 130 is lowballin. Thats alotta wax.

What the fuck does drucken mean?

Just a confirmation - Ollie calls 132!

let`s ride boys we ride all year here! by the way what is river?

drucken means ...turn your spellckeck off, jackass

do tell, who would this friend be???

there will be an srx in the camp this year, that makes 2 yammies in my shop. This bag licker is going to sit back now and wait for you to drop a 132 this winter..

Ya, I want to see your kitty do 132 in 660'!! You did say any length.

that was the guy with the orange mach z that made that claim, not me. Be careful what you say about your own team mates....

You got it, Boss.

redlined still waiting for you and the newest member of team809 doc1 to throw out your mph guesses..
