Sorry for the delay been in a mad rush to get the sled ready for the I500 on a short week.
Ok first Grand forks was a COLD race with temps never getting out of the -8's all day.
Race 2 was expert 85
Waldochs Sport/Curve Skis/Klim Phazer was working well Course was real rough with rock hard drifts came through the first lap and had passed one rider. Into the Second lap I got passed by one rider. Kept pushing on and ended up with a 8th place finish. Not great but a solid start.
Race 5 Sport 600
The Waldoch Sports/Exit Shocks/Klim/Curve Skis sled
Was working great I was second off the line caught the first rider of the line in 30 sec of being on the course. Sled was working good and I was flying I was all alone the whole first lap. Only problem is is hard to set a constant pace. I backed off a little saw riders starting to catch and picked it back up Only to hot a shapr bump and have my brake lever break off HMM.. Center shock was also bottoming hard and jarring my back later found out coupling block had snapped off and center spring needs to be changed as well as valving.
Ok well keep going and its suprising how much faster you can be with no brake lever. Piled into a corner and knocked my hand guard lose, ended up ripping it off as it was in the way. Not to bad a race brought the sled in for a 8th place finish(first sheet showed 5th need clarification yet)
Ok now to repair any damage and get the sled prepped for the I500
