Eichenberg Racing at the Soo I-500

[PureBlue]

Were at the Soo wating to go down in the pits on Monday. Tuesday is the start of time trials. It's lowered down and ready to go. Were going with the old Yamaha colors this year, red, white, and black, it's the 40th colors. But there is word, that there will be a 1200 ski-doo and maybe a 1100 cat this year. People can bitch about them now and leave Yamaha alone lol http://www.livetiming.net/i500/html.asp ... ID=22213PM

Well we didan't win the race, but we did finsh. The top yamaha of the day was a 600 srx #90 Bowers from AK.. They ended up 15, and we were 16 one lap down. We had a few problums, the rear tunnel gard came off, eather the bumps or someone skied him, and our shock package wasant that good, them fox-floats might be good for trail riding but not good for the I-500 track, o well theres always next year. Erdman and Gentz was running strong, not sure what happened to them, but Erdman was pulled in, may have been a ripped track, not sure, they never came back out. well the good thing about there sled is that the frontend looked like it took the bumps great. Our frontend held up great to, just the shocks went away . There is some great pictures on Soo I-500 Fan Page on FB page of the track, what a mud run it was, or clay run i should say.
