What an Awesome race. Love seeing the old sleds running. Raced them 1978 to 1984. Yep I’m old but still young.

Do they still run the big races like the Traverse City 250 and the Sault Ste Marie 500, my cousin won the TC250 and placed I believe 3rd in the SSM500 back in the early 70’s….now those were some races 👍🏼👍🏼

Back in the day, the announcer would identity the make of the machine as well as the driver. This made it much more exciting for the fans.

Why are many so wide in the corners?
@pretzelhunt Жыл бұрын
keeps your average speed up, and they dont get as jammed up together/ more room to maneuver due to bodyweight-shifting. old sleds dont jump off the line the same as news

why do they keep jumping on the seats with there butts? what changes?
@billconnell9169 Жыл бұрын
The rubber tracks have a couple hundred sharpened steel picks installed for traction on the ice. It's basically like sitting on a bed of nails. So you slam down on the seat to drive the picks into the ice for maximum penetration to prevent spinning out on the start.

The F500 class as defined by the ISR rules is that the sled must originate from an 1989 to 1992 Indy 500. You can run any hood that you'd like. I choose to run a 1979 Polaris RXL racer replica hood. F500 rules can be found here if you're curious. www.isrracing.org/aspect.cfm?aspectId=10014

1971 or older. Relic mod is unique in that you may not add a jackshaft or move the driveshaft more then 2". Essentially the chassis remains very close to original. Thanks for watching!

F500 class sleds must originate from a 1989-1992 Polaris Indy 500. You can run any hood to make them look like any brand that you would like. I choose to run a replica 1979 Polaris RXL hood.
