I have been asked about a vintage class, there is one and I know of two racers bringing there's out. They must not have a cleated track-rubber only

I also I have one junior with a 370 looking to race someone in the junior class!

It is Russell Beef and Barley days with alot of events going on around town.On Sat night Aaron Lines (country music) is live in concert in the Arena begining at 8:00 PM!

If the weather is like this weekend I am sure we will have a good turn out!!! Hope to see you there.

was wondering what isr rules are for weight in stock class

Should be an awesome weekend!!!!

Well HIGH VOLTAGE looks like WFO is out, I guess you will take the money with the T-cat or the laydown. Maybe Clearence from JACKHEAD or the Floodway kings will get YA. It should be good,
they all had some time to test and test some more.

Good luck to all the racers that go to Russell, see you all at the first snow drags of the year or the Portage grass drags if there are some?

Interock

DRIVER IN STOCK CLASS 180 LBS, IF NOT BALLAST MUST BE ADDED BY FUEL OR OPTIONAL MARGIN WHEELS. SNOWMOBILE MUST MEET MANUFACTURE WEIGHT AS FILED. TWENTY LBS WILL BE ADDEDTO SNOWMOBILE WEIGHT (AS FILED BY MANUFACATURE FOR FUEL AND STUDS.

180LBS IS WITH GEAR ON RIDER

so say for a example what would weight be for a stock o3 f7 .........at stonewall ssra said 720 that seems a bit high

DO NOT KNOW THE WEIGHT OF A 03, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE WEIGHT OF YOUR SLED , GET TWO BATHROOM SCALES AND PUT ONE AT THE REAR UNDER THE TRACK AND THE OTHER AT THE FRONT WITH A 2X4 UNDER THE SKIS ADD BOTH WEIGHTS

found some posts on amsnow a stock o3 filled weight is 460 so that would make it 660???

I wish you where in instead of out!! But I thank you for letting me know you can't make it cause I was addin you into the" who is coming club"!!

Someone will be The King Of the Grass @ The 2nd annual Duncan Memorial Grass Drags 2008, and Darryl I thought it would be you!!Now it is Wide *$#^ing open. lol !!!

See you in Portage or @ The Second Annual Ducan Memorial Snow Drags this winter

I will have to read the ISR rule book ,but by the time I read it I hope that Brad or Dale could post and let everyone know! We will get back to you.

answers I got last year

I just spoke with Brad, and Kam pretty much hit it on the head and I will try to clearify a few points.

Weight- Stock sleds have two weights filled Dry weight and Wet weight.

Dry weight are the weights released to the public. These are the weights the companys brag about. They are the weights with no oil in the crankcase,no grease in the bearings,no oil in chaincases, no antifreeze in them,etc etc.

Wet weights are not published to the public! They include the sled with these fluids added! ISR has these weights but thet are not open to the public! Brad told me a general rule off thumb could be to take your so called dry weight and add 25 lbs! This should calculate what the sled is expected to weigh at an ISR event! Roughly.

If you run picks they add 20 pds to the sled weight, if not the weight does not get added!
So if your sled is picked+dry weight is 503 lbs, add 25 lbs for true weight, add 20 lds for picks=548 lbs on the scale. If no picks 503+25=528lbs on the scale.If you don't make this weight you will add ballast! If you are way over you have a little work to do to get it down!

Your driver must weight at least 180 pds. If your driver weighs 140 then you will add 40pds of ballast! If your driver weight is 220--too bad you do not get to reduce overall weight of sled driver combo! Get him on a diet!!!

Tracks--
You can run any commercially avalable track! There can not be modifications done to frame, drive or suspension to install the track ! This means any lug height! You can not run a longer track then it would have come with. If i came with a 121 you can not use a 128!
Now the issue with the crossfires. They come with a 14 x 128. There is no speed track made 14 inches wide, Therefore they are allowed to run a 13.5x128 speed or grass track.

Brad said he would go on tonight and look into this site. I hope this helps. I have 4-5 rule books if required--they ussually come with a paid membership but call me if or PM me if you require one.

the forecast looks like rain starting friday is there going to be a rain date ? if it does rain when will you make the decision to cancell?

Hey Guys, I just got back from the track at 6:30PM.

It will be a go !!!! I walked and drove the track, it is not muddy as a matter of fact A local sled ripped a few times and it held up pretty darn good due to the grass !!! It would take alot of rain to change this!!!
