Well, I forced round one in before the snow melts and we had just enough to get it done. By days end...we were down to the dirt. Beenridin's venue in N.Ridgeview proved to be awesome!
Small turnout as it was short notice, but we did have 4 sleds for motos. Rocket vowed to get back in for the next round as his nightmares from 2 seasons ago, Zman smoking him, have still not gone away. Other racers were in FLA, had family in town, were working, or had not cleaned dirty sled carbs from sitting all summer. I counted those I sent out invites and should have an additional 8 SnoScoots for future rounds. Could have as many as 12 for future rounds!
Highlights are as follows: Rookie SnoScoot racer and PitRacer Forum member, Hershey, while getting warmed up, decided to do a swan dive off one into a large wet grassy field..the result was he was frozen like a popsicle within 20 minutes. I saw the landing and it looked like he was doing a cannonball into a 3 foot deep swimming pool. His Yamaha sweatshirt was soaked! Wish I had the GoPro running for that, but we were just warming up..no pun intended!
Moto-1 had the Popsicle (Hershey) getting the holeshot. Zman, doubling the camera crew Mitchy (aka) Z-boy, and Beenridin's son, Jack, were left banging bars for second, while Zgirl joined the premier class, at age 12, and learned you have to hold it on it the corners.
Moto-2 had Jack blast out to an early lead with Beenridin chasing and Zman/Zboy combo and Alli working forward from the back.
Moto-3 had Jack stall his sled on the start and Zman and Beenridin blast out to a fast paced 2 lap drag race! Side by side as the video shows the action. Jack eventually caught us...he is just too light, and blasted past!
All in all great day and fun times.
Video clips combined of the festivities. Don't mind the voices...it's just Mitchy and I bantering back in forth as well as me heckling fellows racers.
