    Leo,
    Do you have anymore details on the event? like, is it mostly bikes, or quads? How much is registration? Is it an organized event, or is it just a bunch of people showing up?

    Thanx

    It's an organized event (although I use that term loosely ).. It runs in conjunction with Saranac Lakes winter carnival.

    Last year it was 75% quads, 25% bikes...

    There were a ton of two-strokes (250R's, Banshees, etc..) Lots of very nice R's setup for ice racing..

    There were also quite a few 4-strokes (5 or 6 400's, 2 raptors, and a DS650)..

    I'm still waiting for the guy to get ahold of me with the exact details (registration fee's etc..) It's was ~$20 if memory serves.. Rules were pretty limited last year, more or less run what you brung, as far as I know the only requirements last year were a helmet, and studded tires (they did have an un-studded class, but it was only 2 quads)...

    It should be a blast, I know of 3 - 400EX's that will be there for sure Personally I can't wait!

    You should register and insure your bike before going, sometimes the cops show up and bust you if you dont have insurance or a registration to your bike. In NJ they will impound your bike if they catch you.

    It's an organized event -- none of the bikes last year were carrying NY registrations..

    They have spectators and everything

    Good luck Leo, if sarnack lake wasn't 5 hours away, I'd come route you on! The lakes down here aren't even close to frozen enough to ride on yet, I think they let you ice skate a couple days, but it's been just a bit too warm. I'm waiting for my creek to freeze so I can ride on it!

    Well, survived my first ice race

    Did OK in the TT events (4th overall).. wound up with a 4th and a 5th (would have been 2 4th's but some fellow decided to use the old 'cut the cone + pass trick on the last lap and the officials didn't catch it.. that's OK though, get a chance for some revenge next weekend!)...

    Did miserable in the oval events, bad draws for starting position followed by miserable starts led to a poor race ..

    All in all it was fun.....

    They ran the 400EX's and the Raptors in the same class (4-stroke amatuer)..

    Started getting the hang of it and fine-tuning my setup.. Learned quite a few things.. (8lbs is not enough tire pressure!) Really should have a sway bar..

    They are doing it again this weekend, I highly recomend it to anyone who get's a chance!
