Damn 06RSRage you putting a lot of pressure on us!

Since the first race I don't think a team of Rookies have ever won the IronDog!

And Welcome #35 Good luck and the invitation is open for you guys too...

Lets do what we can to make these Yamahas place well at the finish line!

 

[06RSRAGE]

Oh Ok I would be happy if one team finished. :ORC

Hey how about a pict of the nytro 136 I haver been looking at the Nytro but wanted a 136..

 

[08NitroRTX]

I haven't installed the 136 Ice attack yet because once it showed up I knew it wasn't enough track for me. It MIGHT go on the IronDog sled after the race (mid Feb) SRXSpec has a SWEET 136 FX Nytro on their site. You can view now. AND they sell the kit and are a site sponsor... Not to mention great to deal with!

[06RSRAGE]

OH I LIKE IT !!! Thanks for showing me that site..
If Yamaha would have made THAT one this year I would have bought THAT one this year !!

 

[NyTrOMaNIaC]

Ulmer can build you that sled with the 136 kit already installed and sell it to you as new if you're interested.

 

[08NitroRTX]

There is NO doubt about it, one of the changes Yamaha will make for the 2009 FX Nytro line up will be a 136 track AND 10 gallong fuel tank as options or models.
I have already hear other than those there will be NO big changes!

 

[06RSRAGE]

Interesting Idea. But no matter how reliable a Yamaha is I think I want my dealer closer than South Dakota.

I think I can wait until 2009

 

[06RSRAGE]

I hope all the teams running Yamaha are good to go. And yes Jeff I still have my fingers crossed for the 1st ever 1-5 finish for one brand.

 

[08NitroRTX]

That would be nice! BUT there were some VERY nice cross country race sleds sitting in that building yesterday!
Out of 80 sleds I saw that 32 sleds were running Ohlins! OMG! that was close to $48,000 in Ohlins shocks alone!! Pretty impressive showing of sleds from each of the brands! YOu don't have to like a brand but could still see the time and efortt that was put into each teams sleds!

 

[06RSRAGE]

Good luck to all !! Especially the Teams running Yamaha !!!
Doesn't Yamaha own part of Ohlins ?
:rules

 

[Kråkan]

Not anymore, or they could have a few % but the founder bought it back...

 

[06RSRAGE]

Oh well, GOOD LUCK ON THE IRONDOG. race starts tomorrow

 

[06RSRAGE]

Teams 5, 23 are in McGrath (Declared layover)
Teams 2, 32 are in Puntilla lake (Declared Layover)
Team 35 Irondog has sent out a rescue team out for team 35 (I hope they are alright)

GOOD LUCK

 

[06RSRAGE]

It looks like Team 35 is underway once again heading to Puntilla Keep your fingers crossed.
2 other brand teams have scratched (15 and 42) so far....

GOOD LUCK AND RIDE SAFE
