Frikkin awesome Terry. Boy, I miss ice racing. We won the Numb bum 24 open class a couple times way back in... Or maybe won it once and got second another... Hmmm.... what year would that have been. Around.... 1990 to 1992 I think? Up at George Lake, North of Grande Prairie.

Awesome video Terry!

I sure wish I could join you with a Husaberg or my new (76) SRX.

We don't even have ice here yet. I will be going to Insanti, MN to rce the sled this weekend.

The Six6One helmet scares me though. I tried them two years ago. Three helmets, three crashes, three KO's. I went back to Shoei's.

Good stuff eh! Be sure and post up some race footage after you get started. The bottom pic's from Ice Speedway - totally different bikes and a shorter track - still awsome and I can't wait for it to start either.

It's crazy just how much fun you can have racing ANYTHING with two wheels!

what days are the racing in Isanti? Might come check it out on Sunday if you guys are still there for it. We will be racing Saturday night at the indoor BMX track so cant make it Saturday.

Cool stuff! Ive raced the road race style tracks and I love it, but around here it's strictly oval track. It's been that way since they first started ice racing here in 1972 so no one really seems to want to change lol.

What kind of studs do you use? Any rules as to type/length etc?

Took 3rd in Open Pro here in Colorado in '11. First time back racing ice since I was 11; loved it!

Terry,

How large is that track? Looks a lot bigger than what they've got in Co.

That one is just about 3/10s of a mile on the inside. We run a bigger one later in the season when the big lake freezes and it's about 4/10s of a mile.

I was not sure if there was racing on Sunday or not, I thought in the past they had some 2 day type deals.....I could be wrong.
