If a St. Louis area racer was wanting to take his XR100 and run some post season Ice Races where might he go to find out some information. Schedules, rules, requirements, etc.....

I haven't done a formal ice race since about 1992 or 1993. But we'll ride and knock each other down for about six hours in a day. A lot cheaper, more track time.
Usually, we'll coordinate a location between three lakes or so for our riding here in SE Wisconsin on this forum...

I use a TTR125 with some other people, and I know there are some others on the CCS Forum that have XR100's. Pretty nice match. Actual racing is generally with real MX bikes set up for flat track/ice racing.

Bring on the ice - I can't wait :) Even tho I hate the cold :(
Ohhhhhh just when I thought I was gonna save (catch up) money off season!! I'm gonna try and come play this year.. Whats the hook up for the ice tyres again?? A CRF150 should be pretty fun eh???
Yeah, that should be fun. I have Fenwick tires on my TTR. He's in Oshkosh, WI with Metro Cycles or something, I think.
Awesome, thanks for the info. It has always sounded like fun and I really am looking forward to trying to do something.

I used to live by the owner Jeff and he built my tires - ROCKIN - More grip on the ice then on the pavement "When ur on the gas"
Honestly - these tires rock - Unless you want to ride through powder snow..... Then I would go with some Canadian legal tires.......
Coooool Thanks!!!!!!!!

Andy is still in Menasha. He moved his shop from Valley Road to a frontage road just off HWY 41 in Neenah/Menasha. Let me know if anyone wants contact info.

Doc - Please tell me you are going to be coming out and riding with us this winter..... Seeing how I live up this way now :)
So, yeah, how about December 27th at Delavan Lake.
So are we setting a date for people to be aware of and try to get something actually organized? That would be a first - Unlike the norm - " Ugh you wanna ride tomorrow?" "Yeah sure - You got a plow?" "No - But we'll figure something out" "See you at noon?" "OK"
Something like that normally....
I got My Bike for the winter - Started it yesterday with the Ice riding jetting. Carb is set for about 20 degrees - Did it run like shit - Wow....
But we managed to tear up the brand new knobbies that I threw on - While riding wheelies up and down the street.... Neighbors gotta love me.........
Well, it sounds like a good day. :biggrin:
Still need ice, a plow, etc. I think three years ago, it was too warm and the ice was soft immedately after Christmas. No way to really predict, but it is a window, right?
Hey MJ,
Get your tires from Andy at Metro Cycles - www.metromotorcycles.com He makes tires for small bikes.
I've had a set on an RM80 for 4 or 5 years, and they still work great.
Follow Dave's advice, check out www.Dieseljo.com and their forum. Its the best way to find out who is riding where.
I think Jeff only builds tires for big bikes.
