    Snowmobiler hit by Car

    Not only deer, but I had a Bobcat practically jump over me on 8 just east o0f Bergland. Also had a wolf spying me on N Military Rd and Fr720 headed over to 3 to go north to Greenland. Gave me the willies and I kicked the sled in high gear.

    Snowmobiler hit by Car

    Seems to be. Have seen plenty here in St Germain. Also, the races were well attended. Probably everyone glad they could "let their hair down" after 3 years of Covid.

    Looking to put together a Thursday-Sunday group ride in Cable, WI

    Sorry about that, Pete. Don't blame you. That is a good way for them to lo0se lots of business IMHO.

    St.Germain to porcupine Mtn and back

    Haven't taken it in years, but trail on west side of Lake Gogebic takes forever to get to Berland----Lake, 15 minutes. It was always a good trail, just took too much time.

    Snowmobiler hit by Car

    Always wore a Tek Vest when riding. Protection and posture. Once started wearing one, I never got tired even on long hauls.

    Off trail riding on the local news

    I do believe that his point was young Ricky Racers [who needed to be carded] were heavily drinking and being inconsiderate. Politeness will get you farther.

    Just shy of 100 down the straits. Never clocked them but was told that. A surprise to me was that the lap difference between vintage & pro was .5/sec! Those old sleds are fast.

    Few, but there were some 2-300 from pits. And, yes, I saw your remarks about "back in the day." There used to be trailers or motor homes parked all the way around to turn 3. Only open spots now are at turn 4 and down the front straightaway and I'm going to say there were approximately...

    WCDC

    Just thought I'd post this. Both the Vintage and WC were a huge success this year. Biggest crowds I've seen in years. The pic is from Sunday's final and I have to say that Friday Night Thunder was even more packed. Corporate suites and Hot Seats were sold out. Both weeks were televised...

    Off trail riding on the local news

    I'm prob the one you are referring to [no harm]. I didn't say all, but I have seen enough deep lugs tear up a trail. All young throttle jockeys showing off. Guys like that have no respect and yes, I wouldn't mind seeing those off the trail, at least 2" and under. I've also seen others...

    Off trail riding on the local news

    Nothing wrong with long tracks [of corse,137-144' are no long considered long tracks like in my day]. IMHO it's the deep lugs. Wouldn't bother me at all if they restricted the depth of lugs. Keep it 2" and under. I've seen too many deep lugs ruin a trail.

    A Necessary Evil?

    Thank you. I am blessed but can't take credit for the pic. It's on WCDC Facebook and just shared it. There are lots of great pics and race videos on the site,---check it out. I even made it into one of the pics but you cant see my face. I'm down on the track for the ceremonies and in the...

    A Necessary Evil?

    Tks. I'm the Track Chaplin [10th year] and yes all of us were really excited on the turnout. Trying hard to get back to what it was in the 90's. First year in over 2 decades that all 4 mfgs were on the track for the WC. Also, all 4 mfgs are supporting. Could be a great sign for the future...

    Thawing out a sled?

    If you jerry-rig a tarp over the sled/s, it will speed the process and if the heater is a large one, it won't take long.
