Event:
Mt. Brighton, Michigan, Sunday at 12:00 start at 63 degrees out. Warm.
The below are some pictures of Vipers, SRX, RX1, Enticer and a Exciter race to the top to be the KING of the HILL in their respectable class.
The classes consists of no mods, engine mods and everything goes.
I stayed for about 4 hours and unfortunally missed who won. Maybe someone could fill that part in? However, when I did leave there were still 3 Yamahas on the ground in line.
It was alot of fun on a sunny day.

Man that looks like fun!!!! I could not make it out there but I will be there next year if they have it. Any word on next year?
Not sure on next year. Yea, it was fun.
It would be a good time for the TY Michigan people to meet next year?

I decided not to race as I didn't have the time or parts on hand to adjust my sled in order to be competitive. I did go all day Saturday as a spectator and it seemed to be a good turnout. Drove by on Sunday also and there seemed to be much fewer racers and spectators, but still enough to make it worth while. I really hope that this was successful for the ski hill as well as COSDRA. This could blossom into a great event if it continues for the next years.
Standing there watching, I was wishing that I had run my sled as it is anyway. The majority of the racers didn't appear to know much about jumping. Although there were a handful of riders that had a good deal of jumping skill. Some had snowcross sleds and obviously had significant racing experience. I couldn't believe how many riders tried to go over the jumps sitting down. Folks, whenever you go off-trail or over jumps, that seat is not for sitting on!!!
Anyway I enjoyed watching it.

were you racing the clock? or was it 1 on 1? I am looking forward to this event if they have it next year. What do they consider "engine mod"??? LOL
It was a 1 on 1 race.
Yea, I hope they do this next year it was fun.

There is nothing as much fun to ride as an old yamaha.
They are talking about doing more hill climbs maybe a series for points. Talking about four lanes on the steep part of the hill. Getting the exciter set up a little better this year. Any suggestions? Still would love to see me going up the hill, any luck with that?

have a chance to score an aaen pipe for the exciter, will it be loud? will it make much of a difference on that sled?
