Dan...It's just outside Dorset....towards Baysville by highway..good ditch trail from Dorset to Paint Lake Rd..come in about 4 km on P'L Rd and watch for track as you start to see the lake...can't miss it..or ask a local in Dorset ( ask at the garage)

Didn't hold the event 'til Sunday so the track could freeze up Sat night....it was a beautiful stretch of ice that stayed good 'til about 3:30...had a great day in the sun...

wolf..we went to North Bay sunday....we did ride to paint lake saturday and it was abit wet,noone was there obviously...

now at least i know how to get there...LOL..

BTW..north bay was unbelievable....apex GT supercharged ran over 165mph in 2000ft!....turbos running 150s and another rx1 turbo ran 140s....what a day at the bay!

So what did you run?? The track must have been a lil slow from the weather..But those speeds say it was pretty good..

APEX GT machzed and myself didnt run when we were there we were just watching hopefully next weekend we will get a chance on the gun

the track was in decent shape all things considered. I got there around 2:30 sunday afternoon and watched some of the festivities.

Eventually lined my sled up against what looked like a stock RX1, it gave me everything I could handle as I was spinning the entire way down the track. There seemed to be about an inch or two of slush then bare ice underneath so studs were still definitley helping.

I later lined up with Wolf knowing full well I was in for a spanking but its all in good fun. Sure enough, he hooked hard off the line and I shot my HP out the back fishtailing my way down to the finish line and nearly taking out the center pylons hahah I brought a knife to a gunfight and ended up with multiple gunshot wounds

great day, great weather and great people.

I didnt care, its all in good fun anyways! There was just enough soft stuff to make it safe enough for me to be able to go down the track without killing myself but it was a wild ride I'll tell ya. Lined up against Jays 800REV and I just snuck by him at the finish line.

I wasn't the fastest but I think I won the prize for most impressive roost coming off the starting blocks!! I think I soaked a few people!
