Drove up 2.5 hours and what a big disappointment. Was told by various people on the phone at the derby track that Ski Doo and Polaris would be there also so 3 of paid the 35.00 dollars to get in and nothing there but 4 Yamaha and 4 Arctic Cats what a scam this turned out to be. Hopefully if they have this venue again next year it will be more organized. I'm sure the racing will be great as the track looked awesome and was nice to see the sponsered rigs but really just came to see the new sleds.

I heard skidoo and Polaris cancelled at the last minute. I know it’s not the tracks fault. They aren’t running the show. It’s all isoc. I was there last weekend and the races kept on schedule. I really enjoyed the kitty Kat races. That was the first time I’d seen them. Lmao. They were hammer down the whole way. Launching off the big jumps and everything. The sound system was pretty inadequate unless you were right in front center, and the lighting really sucked. Particularly at turn 4. They did add a temp light tower for Sat night, they just needed more. Hope they work on this for this weekend. There isn’t much seating so if you go, take a camp chair. I thought the guys in the snow cats did a nice job keeping the track up. They did make some little changes in it from time to time. I will be interested to see if they completely change it up for this weekend.

Glad you enjoyed the races. Hope to see you again. Trackside does have a Lynx on display but that is it for Doo. I see by the Track Cam they are hauling snow again. Track looks ruff now but hopefully by race time it will be in good shape. I know they were saying that if there is less snow, they will make the track smaller. Won't know that until Friday morning, though. Weather has really played into these weekends, bummer.

Making snow tonight. Practice starts at noon and races about 1:30. Get tickets tonight on line, they go up tomorrow. Was at the track today, all vendors are back, SkiDoo has a Lynx and a Mach Z there. Sat on the Mack Z----seat is awesome. Too bad it won't fit on mine. Also, don't expect to get it stuck, 528# dry weight, heavier than my 1200. Cat added a couple more so that puts them up to 6 and Yamaha still has 4. Polaris is a no show. Hope to see you there! If you see me make sure you say Hi. Rev.

Wow! They certainly have the whooops now! I know they made snow last night but didn't think it would be that much. Of course, they hauled snow yesterday and there was a pile just out of the Track Cam view. Should be awesome races the whole weekend, just won't be able to catch the 'rays' like last weekend with 50+ degrees and bright sunshine.
