This past weekend we made an ice track in Waterboro, Maine a mile from mx207. It has been getting a lot bigger each year for the past few years and now with my cdale setup, I have a real runner this year opposed to my 450r last year. This has mostly been just for fun but this year they are pushing for 4 sanctioned events. Todd Abbott who is the atv club master is at the helm for these events. I think 2000ex races MX events with Todd. Anyways, I will post as I find out more about it. Oh yea the track is a road course with a decent backstretch with a small oval track in the middle of it. I have a little video of play time.

Cool! Todd Abbott is a great guy and a talented rider to boot, I am sure he will put on a solid event.

On a side note, I did my first ice race yesterday and they completely changed the track size from a large oval to the size of a hockey rink track. Too bad as the dale had no room to unwind itself. Took the holeshot in moto 1 and then proceeded to blow the tire off the bead 3 laps in. Ended up 4th out of 7.

Main took 2nd off the start then my inside front tire clipped the snowbank and sent me cartwheeling. Landed on my side and think I have some badly bruised ribs because it hurts to do anything. They red flagged the race and with a busted master cylinder and 12 quads on the tiny track took 3rd after eating it.

That's awesome man, I find my cdale loves to holeshot also. I took both holeshots on the 5 and 10 lap race, Todd passed me when I hit fluff on the last lap but the second race they piled up in the first corner after my holeshot so it was a pretty easy win that time. I would love to do an actual circuit to see how I would do. Wes, Todd is a good guy and let me try out his Outlaw and he tried my Dale. We both really didn't care for each others quads well handling wise. Must just be since we have been on the same quads so long. I will let you know what they come up with. Todd's cousin mike Abbott is by far the fastest one there, he didn't get to race but tuned it in for next week. Just got to get my corner speed up to par.

Well finally after a week of working on the track it is fixed, we had snow and rain a week and a half ago that really messed it up. But woohoo tomorrow is race day. Still waiting to hear about sanctioned events but should be a real good turnout tomorrow anyways I'm guessing at least 15 quads probably more, I will get pics and some video of a race or 2 and some quads. My quad was acting real funny today idling very high! And couldn't get it to come down even with the idle screw. Probly intake leak(not sure) I did clean throttle body plugs seals etc and tightened clamps so hopefully when I start her up again tomorrow it will be fine.

It would be nice to see some pics or video. Ice racing is probably the least covered type of atv racing.

our Moto does the high idle thing alot. most times just let it run for a few miniutes the shut it off for a couple miniutes then refire and its fine. the last time was with a week battery and the idle was real high and I was nervous about letting it run for a while so I shut it off and hooked jumpers to the truck (battery was getting real weak so I wasn't worried about it) let it charge a while and when I refired it, it was fine

Took the c-dale out today to the ice, did really well. Didnt get to do actual races since around 2 o clock ice was melting bad. It will be very cold this week so looking forword to flooding and fixing the track for sunday. I found myself in front of the pack most of the time today as my bike had enough power for the little starights to hold most people from getting around. Need to put on my new studded fronts so i dont push in the corners as much. My friend took a bunch of pics from racing today that i will post later. Here is a link to a little race we did a week or so ago, my cdale is leading with Todd abbott behing me on his polaris. At the end i hit fluff that slowed my bike on the straight where the banshee and polaris get around but if that didnt happen i have no doubt i would of held them off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVgkC6856M4
