Boom lake

Well today did not go the way we would have liked, track was real rough in the beginning of the day team Outlaw vintage racing took a 7th in the heat, in the LCQ we ended up 3rd missing the final by one. This week will be a practice and testing wee to find out why the sled changed after installing a new track.

NEW TRACK

Installed the new R series oval race track today with all new stud. We will be running practice on 01/27/2010 to see how everything works, we did some head work which will hopefully help the sleds performance. A BIG thanks to GS TRUCKING LLC for the new track, its great when you have good sponsors to help you through theses rough times.

STELLA RACE

January 16th
Location: Stella Town Hall
Hosted by: Stella Fire Department

NVSRS race day started out real good for the #89 Outlaw Vintage race Team,

Modified 0-503cc
Heat #1 finished 2nd do to a little driver error, corner one came up faster than anticipated (in first at the time) and I over shot it, dropped back to 4th place but regained 2nd place in a 1/2 of lap.

Onto the main event. I started 9th place outside and was in 4th place by corner one, coming out of corner two I was tied for third and in third by corner three, then the unthinkable happened, track clip lodged up in the track taking us out of the race. the way the sled was handling that day I can say we would have finished third or better if not for the break down.

Vintage World Championship

Eagle River WI,

We arrived on Thursday afternoon 01/05/2010 got the hauler all situated and made sure everything was ready for Saturdays heat races. Super Stock 440 Fan was the first race for the Team, First heat we ended up 4th out of nine sleds, bad hole shot and gearing didn't seem to be right, handling was good but not great. Heat 2 we finished 5th out of nine sleds, still no hole shot, track would just spin, Ice seemed very HARD this year. finished 7th in the super stock 440 fan semi finales and missed the main event by one spot.

Super Stock 440FAN
Heat #1 4th place
Heat #2 5th place
Semi finals finished 7th missing the main event by one spot.

Super Stock 440 F/A
Heat #1 we took 4th
Heat #2 finished 6th
Semi Finals finished 7th missing the main event by one spot.

The weekend didn't go the way we planned but things have got to change on how the races are run, the sleds need to be more legal that we run against for the 2011 season.

HARSHAW RACE

January 2nd
Location: Lakewood and Rocky Run Roads
Hosted by: The Harshaw Wanderers

We finished 7th for the day in the 440 F/A Modified class, took 4th in the heat. Harshaws track is very small like a soup bowl, set up and gearing played a big roll in the turn out for Team Outlaw Vintage Racing, the day started out at -20 degrees and only made it to about 5 degrees by the end of the day. We made several changes to the sled for the main event but a missed corner put us in 7th.

Well this weekend Is the Eagle River World Championships, we have been testing for the last week and everything is going good so far, if the sled handles like it has been I know we will have a good chance of making the BIG SHOW, oh and the 440 Free Air class is $5000.00 to win, wouldn't that be nice.

Got the boys working HARD

Well the boy's have been working real hard this week, it's getting down to crunch time with only Eleven days left before the first race, We will try to get some practice time in before then, still waiting on a motor for Alec's sled, I am going to meet a guy with two of them today.

Getting down to the wire!!!

Well its getting down to the wire, 19 days left before the race season begins, we are waiting on a 300 cc motor for Alec's sled, Mine is almost ready to go, the trailer still needs some work and let me say things will be close again this year for any practice time, the weather is finally getting cold and I hope we get some practice time in. The sled this year was completely rebuilt and I really don't know how it will handle? I do have faith that it will be a lot better than last year but I guess we won't know till it hits the ice.

Eagle River World Championship is January 7-10, WOW it's coming fast, things really need to change weather wise if where going to race there by then, to many races canceled this year already do to weather. hope and pray that is all we can dooooo!!!

It's coming together

Well the sled is finally coming together, I am getting most of what needs to be done finished, race season starts in less than a month and I have one more sled to finish, here are some new Pictures of the carburetor I got polished.

Sled Work Day

another day in the shop, its going to be a long night, painting the chassis and starting to put it all back together, at least this race season I should be a lot more prepared, last year the sled got done the day before Eagle River, but this year it should be done weeks before. I really hope though that we can get some practice time in!!!!

Sponsors on the hood

Got Studboy sponsor on the hood, waiting on a few more to get back to me and it should be all set.

Sled Work Day

Today the sleds will be getting there much needed attention,
We finally got the team hauler done this past weekend,
which I will be posting up later on, Some before and after.

The weather is still to warm and is making me wonder if the ice will be froze soon enough for the race season to start.
