We've had riders from the states come up here and their tires are completely different from the tires we use. When the dream team came up here for the numb bum, they didn't bring you. They used a local mechanic to set up their bike. What's up with that? They had the likes of Scott Parker, Jeff Fredette and a few other very well known racers from all disciplines of racing. Scott Parker came from behind and won on the last lap. Even though they won, they weren't the fastest. A local team consisting of 2 pro MX riders were by far the fastest. At the awards ceremony, the dream team said it was a real shame the other team had to drop out. It was about -25C and the crankcase breather on their XR650 froze up and blew the oil out the crank seal despite being insulated from the cold as much as possible. I guess going 90+ MPH would have a quite a windchill. Their lap times were as much as 20 seconds a lap faster than the dream teams. Over 24 hours that's a big difference.
I said the balancing stand looked like a trueing stand. The M/C shops here can afford something a little better for balancing. Looks to me like your a keyboard tire changer! No you wouldn't have a made a fortune. Jeff Fredette with years of ISDT experience would put just about anyone to shame when it comes to changing ice tires. He brought his own custom tires especially for the race and could change them in about 3 minutes. If you try to tell me you could come close to that, I'll know you're full of it. For the average person, ice tires can be a real pain to mount.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
