However, we do not plan to make classes for only one sled to compete in each, so get your freinds and competitors to bring theirs out to run and compete.
Race Director has final decision in safety or performance criteria for competition of Driver and vehicle.
The Vintage is revving up and gaining momentum folks!
Don't hesitate to call if you have questions.
You are going to see more of these great looking and fast classics on the ice this winter!
Call Ron at 612.360.1280
Also, be checking those tracks and clutches for signs of stress or cracking.
Better to look at up front and close so you don't have to sit out a race.
Thanks!
Ron
See revised rules to allow drivers to be 12 to 16 years of age in up to Stock 440 CC machines.
Weight rules still apply for fair competition.
Thanks!
Ron
The spectators love vintage, we love Vintage, you going to race your Vintage?
Wow is right!
Vintage racers bring the family and friends and have a great time either competing for a trophy and bragging rights or running the Pro Side to set a record and kickin some butt!
You can run all day, have a cookout on the ice, and share time with the family is what Vintage racers love about NSSR Speed Runs.
Plus, get the bonus of tuning in that old Hot Rod in a safe environment and shaved ice!
Go to a drag race, wait all day to make one pass, and if you don't win you go home, no trophy and no tuning at the same time not improving your Hot Rod!
See you out at NSSR this Winter, and bring the grill!
Thanks!
Ron, Stacy, Shelby and Crew
The TXL would be in stock C
