It's that time of year again. Annual Frozen Toe race at Tri-City MX in Coal Valley, IL. I have heard it's still on for this weekend.
Who all is going racing/spectating? I plan on racing...hope to pull of the Grand Champion this year, unlike last year.
Here's a teaser to get you in the mood!

Location: 9829 114th St, Coal Valley, IL 61240 They give trophies for: Grand Champion, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. all the way back to 10th. Last year I took 1st. Shooting for the Grand Champion this year. It'll be tough to do, unless nobody shows up.  |

Do they have different classes or is it all one group? Hopefully we don't get too much snow today.

I think they have two classes. (0-400cc, 401cc+) Everyone starts at the same time though. Utilities even race it! Are you in Jon? I guarantee you wouldn't finish last.
Muddawg/themacs4/piglet? You guys going?

Yes there are two classes. I won 2nd place last year in the 400 class. I won't be racing this year though due to a neck injury  |

You think my p 360 would do alright. I think I might ride. Does the track get slick?

The track can get slick, but with 4wd you would probably be fine. It's a fun race.

Yeah I was thinking that the 4wd would help.
