after a very slow crappy start to our race season we finally have got our rupps flying. still not 100% but very close. this last weekend we were at la crosse wisconsin. all the big dogs where thewre, goede's smith, gents, foyt, etc. i qualified for the cup race but the race was cancelled at the end of the day due to heavy snow coming down. i was able to get one final in. the 440 super mod class. on the track far left is matt goede, then jacob goede, then me, then nathen foyt who finished 3rd this year in the world champion ship race. then there was gents, smith, gruenwald, and a few more. in the video matt is about 20 yard away from me then i lost some speed and time in turn 3 and 4 trying to go wide and carry speed, didnt work, lol. still have some work to do but very close. mph in this video we are going mid 80's according to our sno-pro g.p.s.,.....enjoy!!!,...b.s.171

Man I can see why they canceled the Cup Race !!! That video scared the crap out of me !! I'm sure that you could see more than the little camera could see though. Looks like you have a good starting point for next year !! Or do you have anymore races to go to ?? Nice job !!!!

Holy sh$t!!! Awesome! Can't believe you are carrying that much speed into the corners on a mid mount!! Conditions looked rough. Great job!
But why not race a 76 Magnum in 440 supermod? Wouldn't it be better in the turns? Lower center of gravity?
