As some of you may already know, My name is Erick Baccus and I'm going to attempt to break a world record on July 14th 2012. The record I'm going after is, the Farthest distance on a snowmobile on water. I'm going to try to beat this record on the Houghton/Portage Canal. Below is a little about me and my personal and racing background.
I started snowmobiling at the age of five. My first snowmobile was a 1986 Yamaha Phazer 440! I started off just driving around the fields, and then progressed to driving on the trails with my friends as we grew up. At age 16 I started to drag race my snowmobile which was a 1992 Arctic Cat EXT. I didn’t win many races but I didn’t care because all I wanted was to race my snowmobile and get an adrenaline rush. After my first year of racing I joined a local race team and raced the winter of 2004. After the race season I graduated from High School and joined the United States Marine Corps on June 21st 2004. Now after a little less than eight years in the Marine Corps I got out honorably and back home trying to get back into racing. I recently purchased a 2003 Arctic Cat F7 and in the process of making this sled race ready. On July 14, 2012 I’m going to attempt to break the world record of Farthest Distance on Water on a Snowmobile and I am currently looking for Sponsors! Any kind of help would be much appreciated. The start and finish will be held at the Super 8 waterfront park in Houghton, Mi. This event is going to be filmed by Fox News, and the Daily Mining Gazette (our local newspaper) will also be there. I'm working on more. Please find me on Facebook or you can email me at son_of_254@hotmail.com, or you can contact me at (906)370-0899
