Spencer will be running the new Arctic Cat Sno Pro 600 in the Semi Pro class and the Sno Pro 500 in the Expert 85 class for the upcoming season. Doing double duty will give him plenty of track time and test his endurance.

In the I-500, which is 500 miles done in 3 days, only one sled can be ridden. Trevor will be stepping in to run the Sno Pro 500 during this event.

This will keep both sleds on the track and give our sponsors plenty of media attention.

Sleds are coming together as we try to check all points and eliminate any weak areas. The sleds look good and Cat has done a good job in updating the previous problem areas. With the cold weather we should have enough ice to start some testing on the lake. Time to get the radar gun out and double check our clutch results from the treadmill. The treadmill is always close but real world testing will determine the final settings.

Cross Country Racing

The Cross Country Snowmobile Racing scene is going through some changes as this type of racing is making a comeback. The problem that cross country racing faces is public exposure as it is far easier to get a controlled, paying crowd and cameras viewing a snocross, oval, or drag type race. On the up side, it is the only form of racing that simulates the type of riding a consumer does in the real world. This makes it a valuable testing ground for anyone trying to design and develop products for the snowmobile market. It also makes for heated discussions as consumers watch their favorite brand win or lose on the same trails that they ride on. A winning cross country setup makes a great trail sled.

First race: January 3 in Grafton, ND.

Race schedule for USCC has been changed and the new updated one is on their website. Looks like we will have about the right number of races this winter, not too many to create burnout but enough to give eveyone some riding miles. The schedule leaves about every other weekend open so we can also go trail riding and enjoy the season a bit.

See www.usccracing.com for full information on these and other changes.
