Yes, that is Detriot Lakes, Minnesota. That was a scene from this year's WSA Pro Ice races at the Holiday Inn. Those are like an Iroc race for sleds.
They usually park alot more trailers on the ice and farther out but this year there has been way too many warm days. Many of the racers decided not to park on the ice, probably a good thing.
I do not think that the whole scenario was funny. It cost the racers alot of money and most were not able to race. MN DNR checked the ice and gave the WSA permits to run the race and park on the ice. I had some other pictures and you could see that the ice was well over 12" thick. Had something to do with stress cracks or something to that effect. It was a bad situation and I don't think that it was funny at all. The racers were told that the ice was safe and to maintain a safe distance between the trailers. More racers showed up during the night and didn't get that info so they parked where ever there was room. No one got injured and that was the most important factor!
Look at all the money that was sunk in the water. Incredible, gotta feel sorry for those guys especially knowing they were told the ice was safe. Just an all around bad situation.
that was big news america wide a few month's back some serious stuff it was a surprise there no deaths it could have happened during the day but it happened through the night.
Hello everyone, I recently bought a 2015 polaris indy 550. I want your guys opinions on these sleds. I’ve heard the ones with the edge chassis were unreliable but I think the newer ones are more reliable correct?
We tried the group meeting last year and nobody showed but the breakfast was a hit. Anyone up for meeting again this year before the chaos begins? I will probably be coming up with Mark and Dave and going to Big Boy before we get there so if anyone wants to join us here is your invite.

I have a 2002 MXZ 700 RER Sport with Boysen reeds and MBRP can. I ride in temps from the teens to low 30”s too me it seems like it runs rich. What is my stock jetting and should the jetting be changed for the kids? If so to what?
I am sure the Thundercat is one....but what else is a fast sled.
I have a v-max 4, and now want something faster.
Please tell me what years to keep an eye out for also.
Thanks.
It wasn’t long ago that we were at the Wawa Motor Inn, just north of Sault Ste. Marie, sitting in front of a warm fire after a day of boondocking in Northern Ontario backcountry. Read More >>
