Title: Ice riding chit chat
Post by: Daamud on January 07, 2015, 08:54:37 PM
Wasn't sure where to start this thread...

In Wisconsin we have two seasons, ice riding season and mosquito season. Bugs suck, so let's talk about ice!!

I myself have been riding ice for about 12 years. Started on quads then bikes, and now going to try three wheels.

Let's hear about your set ups or story's! Pictures are encouraged!! :)

I Raced on ice for the first time last season here in Michigan. My R was pretty much blowing up, wouldn't even pull 6 th gear but I still had fun. I'm Going to ride my brothers LTR for the first race this weekend.  He's wants me ride his until I get my 250 done so I can get my points. Pretty cool of him.

Do you guys have a lot of people show up to race? What kind of classes?

There was 11 riders in one of my classes and 10 in the other they split us into two separate races for the first heat and then put everyone together in the second heat. I ran 250-450 AB and 91cc-open classes. Had a blast and learned a lot!

What's the 91 open all about?

Just an open class. You can run anything 91cc or Larger. This would allow you to race a 700 raptor or anything like that. Don't think we had anything that big show up though, just a bunch of banshees, 450s, z400, and one 250R
