This is our first drag/oval race of the year it was -25f when we woke up it warmed up to 0ish in the afternoon. We had 3 generations at the races today. My dad was able to race his grandsons. We all got to make several passes and we were able to get sleds more dialed in. I was able to make 2 decent passes on my new drag sled

We had the same weather here in Pensacola FL. Today. I rode the bike 200 miles in the 77 degree breeze haha. Nice sleds. I watched the drag races in Soldotna once in July (2000). A sled won the race day beating out a hopped up TransAm. I hope to ride the bike up your way again this year. It will the 5th trip up there.

Just found your channel, I absolutely love all the vintage skidoo snow machines. My brothers and I raced in the 90's into early 2000's with an 1989 formula plus with full mod 617, 94 FZ 580 improver and 94 mach z improver. You have a vast collection and they are all in fantastic shape. That 94 Zee is mint, we used to do sanctioned races but a lot of grudge racing also. Please continue with your racing videos I will be an avid watcher. Thanks

Awesome Awesome sleds. The sleds on the 4 place trailer made my pants tight lol, got a soft spot for that old school muscle. Currently have a 95 SS 670 that is too clean to ride (never thought I'd say that but I think it might mean I'm getting old) and a 97 mxz 670 (sled of the year back then I believe) that gets the most seat time. Killer sleds fella's, nice to see more guys that like the old school muscle. Safe riding guys, from Northern Lower Michigan. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

As a 35+ year Alaskan (Anchorage) who started riding as a teenager with a new 68 Polaris Colt, I appreciate y'alls videos. Having spent a lot of time in Fbx. while working for the railroad, I more than most appreciate the extreme cold you experience in riding. Even back in the 80's/90's, i used to run across a lot of folks from Fbx. that would come down to Cantwell/Broad Pass to ride. One constructive comment though, your track stands should have a plate on them to stop a stud from being thrown at high speed...and potentially seriously injuring someone nearby.

I miss back in the day when we used to race wheelers all over the state. Fairbanks would come down and whip the valleys ass if we didn’t take them out and get them good and wasted first the night before. Sometimes they could even still whip us hung over. I miss riding and partying with the Fairbanks crew during the 80s and 90s. Those were the days.Brothers and grudge matches

Where I live everyone is anti studs. I don’t get it , man do they ever work with studs love it . Anyone who races sleds knows what it’s like with good traction you can feel the machine work , the clutches doing their thing it’s hard to explain . Set it and forget it not like us guys I got my clutch bolts worn out from changing setups for different conditions lolZ

Fai Racing Lions had portable gear then. That sled raced at Wasilla Lake, Lake Louise, Chena River in front of Pikes, on a Fairbanks gravel pond and a Palmer grass drag. It didn't loose very often.
