The Date for Next Years Ride, *From ZMachMan's house, * Near Gaylord, Michigan To the Mackinaw Bridge in Mackinaw City, Michigan, *will be January 25 and 26, *2003! *

The ride to the bridge is on Saturday and then we usually have a little, *run what ya brung and hope you brung enough racing on Sunday! * Put this ride on your calender, *as this is a really fun ride! * *More detail to come in the near future!

Everyone is Welcome!

ZMachMan!

That sounds like a good ride. *I'll put that on my calendar, and see if I can get that weekend off work.

How far is it from Port Huron to Gaylord. *I've never done that drive, but I live just over the boarder from Port Huron.

Thanks,

FishHog

Count me in, I may even ride my sled from Lewiston to Gaylord instead of trailering.

Thats not in the UP is it? sorry for the stupid question I know.

The Ride will actually depart from Alba, Michigan. *Alba is 18 Miles West of Gaylord Michigan. * * Alba is about 250 Miles from Port Huron. * Alba is located on US131 about 20 miles north of Kalkaska, (Where they have the World Series on Ice). * * *If anybody needs further information, *just email me at northfox@avci.net

Thanks,
ZMachMan

I am there too! You are promising better conditions this year though, right?

Sounds like fun! I might be there if my sled doesn&#39;t sell this fall.

caleb,you really don&#39;t stand a chance against Tim.if you gonna dream you might as well dream big I guess,lol.I will tell you nobody gives away the best secrets *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif .

Tim wants me to stay around 180hp but I think that i may just take the plunge and try a few parts out for 200-208hp and plenty of torque. And the fact my sled will weight under 500lbs easily will add more to my fire to keep hium from extinguishing it!

what track you going to be running?its going to be the holeshot that kills http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif .I wish you well.I&#39;ll let you in on a secret, *remember panda is lighter than Tim *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif .

I know about her and the ole FIII! I&#39;m up to around 215lbs but i should be under 200 by Nov. I&#39;ll be running a 121x1.250 though a new 136x1.250/1.375 track may be in the plans by January if I do buy a Xpert-X rear skid.
Caleb

Hey that trip from Gaylord to the bridge sounds cool. *I&#39;ll have no problem getting the time off and just wondering how many of you are actually going to ride? *I&#39;m *serious i&#39;ve trailered up to Alba several times (the little gas station off the main road just 1mile north of town) *anyways, probably myself and one of my buddies, count it if you guys are serious. * Email with the details . * ryanstec@hotmail.com

I&#39;ll be riding a mod. 440 prox, and my buddy has a &#39;02 viper (possible 3 coming also-&#39;01 vmax mod)

Yes grasshopper, you must almost remember that even though Tim "wins", he probably never even sat on the sled that day http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif He knows he have to add 40 hp to make him as fast as Panda. So whats your excuse for that Tim? You don&#39;t drink beer, and thats the best excuse I can think of!
* * * * * * * * Ryan

You guys should be thinking about beating Panda on her FIII 700. * "If", * you can accomplish that, *then ZMachMan will pull his sled out! * *But I wouldn&#39;t hold my breath! * *

Sleddog, *ZMachMan is Calling you out! * My "Mach 1 700" against whatever you come up with in your MXZ Chassis. * I&#39;m not even going to bring out my big artillery! * *The bet is Dinner at Caruso&#39;s Resturant! * Is it a deal? * lol hahahahaha

Actually, I don&#39;t have an 1134, for my personal sled. I was just stating the range of cc&#39;s that we have in our group that runs Wiseco. (FYI mine is 1098)

I say bring what you want. But I thought we agreed that after the racing, we would trail ride the same sleds. If you can trail ride your 700 for a couple of hours after the races, bring it!

That&#39;s the deal. * *Full Trail Set-up. * Pump gas and Trail Riding after the Race. * *When does the Ice usually get thick enough on the bay?

Are you coming to our Winter Ride in January?

If Chuck is helping set your sled up you are good to go. *He has quite a few winners. *He is a darn good man. *A while back I launched a jump 6 feet in the air but didn&#39;t realize it was a road burm and another 6 feet down to the asphalt road. *Needless to say I blew both front shocks and broke both front shock pivot brackets on my 93 plus. *Went to the marina the next day and he sold me the two shocks and brackets he had ordered in for his sled. *He helped me out big time cause that happened Friday night and I just got up there for a weeks ride. *I would have been heading home early.

Pencil me in for the Bridge ride this season, hope the snow cooperates ;)

When are you guys coming down to Anchor Bay? I&#39;d drop by and see the fun :D
