P1000 Has anyone ever ice raced there p5 1000?

[Ice]

Well here in southern Wisconsin we haven't had any much snow to go snowmobiling but it has been bitter cold and I decided to take my p1000 deluxe to the local ice races and I was totally baffled how it ran against the 1000 razors and the yxz's. We had a heat race in the un studded oval and I ended up 2st place and the TT heat I ended up 1st place. Then we had the two main races and ended up 2nd in both I could get the hole shot every time and out accelerate on the straits> the transmission in sport mode shifted flawless. I had people asking me what did I do to this thing? 100% stock 6lbs of air in tires and just turned 100 miles, now I can give it its first oil change. Love this machine!!!!!!!!!!!

Were you on koshkonong? I live in Janesville.

Wow, that sounds like a blast. There is an advantage to extreme cold for long periods. Wish they had something like that around here, we are cold but not cold enough I'm afraid.

I was really impressed with the ice handling of the 1000 again this weekend. Super fun machine. Glad you're enjoying it too

I remember ice racing in street cars in Wisconsin. My dad ran mini spares on his olds and it seemed to work well. Do you have any video,sounds like fun!

I don't have a cam but my friend does, maybe when I go again we can try shooting a vid. They race street cars farther north of here.

That’s awesome!! But the rules clearly state.. “Pics or it didn’t happen!!”

 

[Hardwaterflyer]

That really sounds like fun! They are excellent performers on the ice. While you can drive 4x4 trucks now on 17" of ice the Pioneer is a lot more fun.

I used to race Honda 250r's on the ice in Maine.... It was a blast. Big snow bank berms.

I’m with ya.. I dont know nearly enough about it. Here when someone ventures out on the ice they get wet and die.
