Rib Lake 1st Ice

MrSled · Nov 23, 2008

It looks like the ice is good out on Rib Lake so we are shooting to have some fun on the lake this next Sat Nov 29 if anyone would like to join us.

If we get a ton of snow or a warm up we would most likely cancel. Please keep watching this post and I will update as the week goes by.

Well guys just came off the ice and the conditions are perfect.... it was more just a test and play day. The Build Super Charger is down for the count. 1st run, blew the intakes off the throttle body's and the block.... then fixed that, next run, ripped all the teeth of the belt that drives the cross shaft from the engine.... so she is out for tomorrows run.

XTX and 08 Nytro speedos are about 5 to 6 MPH off. Ran thru the gun with the XTX at about 105 with me on it and 108 with my son. 08 Nytro with me ran a 108 and my son ran 110.

Viper ran in the 111 to 113s, 600 twin with pipes ran 106 range.

Apexs ran 121s to 124 ish and a SRX ran around the 123 to 124 speed.

If I am not mistaken we are about 1/2 mile mark

Tom, I am leaving now and will see you there.

If you check this post, bring the TY shirts if you have them.

Well, Rib Lake has 8-9 inches of ice and the day couldn't have been more fun! No wind, sun most of the time, just a little hazy. Ran the Nytros and did some clutching. Results were very informative. Tom has the numbers, but all sleds did very well. Can't believe how much a certain sitting position can change speed because of wind resistance.

Tom, had a great time buddy!

It was a great time!!! To bad more people dont come out to have some fun.

Here are a few numbers we had for the day.
08 Nytros ran 105.6 to 107.7 mph
09 XTX ran 105.5 to 106.9 mph
Apexs ran 121.3 to 122 mph

Thanks to everyone that were there...
And it was great you made it out Terry it was a lot of fun!!!

Kevin Garceau · Nov 30, 2008

uhhmmm....well if someone would have told me (Terry) I would have had the Apex out with the new mods, and the wifes and let you guys work a little magic on them both.

Yeah you NOS-PRO

I sat at home, wondering what to do yesterday

MrSled · Nov 30, 2008

u need to check the site more often...LOL

Kevin Garceau · Nov 30, 2008

LOL...yeah I dont know how I missed it. I saw it actually early saturday monring.

And to be honest, my parts arent here from Ulmer yet, just giving Terry a hard time.

NOS-PRO · Nov 30, 2008

Ha ha, I made the decision to go late Friday night. Wasn't even loaded till yesterday morning.

Kevin, I should have brought the 3 wheeler and ran some of your fuel through it.......

Hope your parts come soon, we are getting snow now....3-5 I guess.

Yeah we arent getting anything over here. No big deal I guess, a few weeks and we all "should" be riding.

I would like to hook up with someone with a clutch alignment tool, and a few shims to ensure both sleds arent losing any of their power through misalignment.

106 out of a Nytro huh? Not too bad,I like it!

NOS-PRO · Nov 30, 2008

That was on the gun, speedo read 111mph. After some tuning, we saw 113 on the speedo, and a best of 115mph. But we did not run through the radar after that tuning, so the actual numbers stand.

Also, ran my attak next to another Apex to see how much the speedo changed due to me cutting 2 teeth on the speedo gear. 13-14mph difference. So, the speedo at 120 should be accurate.

Its crazy to hear you guys have that kind of ice only a few hours north of me..

We have had many mid 40 degree days here in kieler..

I would have loved to come up if i were so darn busy all the time..

I will be up for the TY ride a couple weeks.. ROCK ON..
