Hey Luke & Josh, are you guys still planning racing Pro Vintage at Mole lake this weekend? If so I'll see you up there. Luke if you want, you can take my Mercs for a couple of hot laps to get the feel of what a twister performs like ;D... Josh probally would not have any objections ;D... All joking aside, the offer stands, I think you would like the way they are glued to the ice in the corners.
Pre registration closes Thurs., or 7 am. on sat. racing at 10 am. sat.

Paul as of right now, it doesnt look like we're going to mole lake, i guess we may be going to a drag race instead, down in mountain wis, i really wanted to go to mole lake and we did get the sleds alot faster, but as of this morning we dont have the head back for the 250 yet, the squish on it was 99 thousanths, hopefully we'll get it back this afternoon and at least get it bolted back on, plus i dont really like the fact that mole lake is a 2 day event, pretty much forced all the racers to spend the night in town, and i may be wrong here but i believe all the other races in this series other than eagle river are 1 day events, ie lily, and lacrosse. id love to go but as of right now looks like i am going to the lily race in a couple of weeks, at least that track is banked. But i guess who knows, its not saturday morning yet.

Right on Bill, the next problem they will have is a good one, all the new horsepower will need heavier clutch weights............. when it's either drags or ovals for me it's ovals hands down, the fun lasts more than 7 seconds, and you dont have the sniveling about " my sled is not competitive" - well at least not to the extent that drag racers take it. Good luck to you guys where ever you go.
By the way Mole Lake payed out about $13,000.00 in prizes and awards last year, and looks to be about the same this year.

Well i took it into osbournes pro street, they figured theyd have it done early afternoon today, so i am crossing my fingers , still trying to decide if i should find another trailor, say piss on it and head up to mole lake early tommorrow morning, but i dont know if they still have any rooms available for one and for 2 i dont know if i could make it there for registration. it says sat morning reg. 7am, assuming thats when it opens in the tent on the ice, if it closes at 7 am im screwed anyways. wont make it there on time. plus i still dont have the 250 head and id hate to go up there for the weekend with only one sled.

trust me deep down i want to go to mole lake, but i dont think i can talk my bro into it, however mountain is not that far south of mole lake, but we dont have a big enough trailor to haul more sleds along.

Hey Paul what is dans 340 fa doing in 500 feet, just curious how much different it is from our 440, last weekend we got her down to 5.71 sec. in 400 feet, our test pond is not quite long inough for 500 feet, we can 450 with the slower sleds, ie 250 and fanner.
