Is the hayward one in hayward, WI?

Looks like exactly the type of racing I would like to try out, is it possible to only enter into one race, or do you have to do the whole season?

I found this, but, I'm going to have to watch the show at home with slightly better resolution than the video on the net. I'm fairly certain I saw a flash of the side of your sled, sitting in the staging area.

im supprised i still did that well in brainered. in qualifiers i went over the bars bad and everyone passed me, i then got back on and passed 4 people. then in the finals i blew my rear track shock and finished the last lap with it like that.

Looks like a blast but I want the groomer to come out like the pace car every 10 laps.

ya we feel like that some days, it can get ruff out there.
wow i was watching the hayward one again and it still wondering how in the hell im going to keep up with brad next year. brad is one fast kid. leading the am 600 all year many days he ran bettter times then the smeipro leaders did. he is fast. i can keep up with him for a while but after 20 miles he keeps going on jsut as hard and i can take it anymore. in ada it was he and i going one after anotehr for 10 miles of ditch hitting approaches at 80 and after that i just couldnt hang on anymore. my biggest problem this year was the fact i had lots of crashes. if i had not had any crashes id be probably 3rd overall ni pint instead of 7th, it still out of 38 so not so bad but i could ahve dont alot better. off to semi pro though for me next year.

how many laps or hours are they usally? and what all do you have to do to the sled.. and do they have a 440 class?

well time out there depend on class and course. the I500 is a 3 day 500 miles race. then there are day where we have single day races taht pros run 100 miles and ams run only 20 here are all the classes and about time on track
pro 600 80-100 miles
pro open 20-40 miles
semipro stock 30-80 miles
semi pro improve 20-40 miles
semipro 440 20-40 miles
am 600 20-40 miles
am improved 20-40 miles
womens 20-40 miles
jr 14-17 15-40 miles
jr 10-13 15-40 miles
legends 50+ 20-40 miles
masters 40+ 20-40 miles
vets 30+ 2-40 miles
120stock little course
120 open little course


i hope you see the idea here. most guys run 2 to 3 classes. 2 is a pretty good day. you get 40-80 miles of racing in, a parade lap in. time a meet people anc watch some. pro stock 600 and smei pro stock 600 are really the only longer classes. everything esle beside maybe the jr classes and women (they run at the same time) are the same. the jr and woman sometime have one less lap, it happens with the am to when pressed for tiem at the end of the day but not usually becasue the jr and woman's fall the am with is in with the vet class.
