Post by ski »

Just wondered if JD was represented at Eagle River this year? If so, how did they do?

Hi guys,

I see that our friend Justin Ernst #517 (munkeystew) is shown finishing fifth in the SS 440 Fan final on a Yamaha GPX.
Here are the 2013 SS 440 Results. http://www.derbytrack.com/files/Vintage ... 202013.pdf

However, here is video of the race. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCvlRvaQm6s

vintagesleds.com racing forum discussion of SS 440 Fan race, with Deere comments, and munkeystew
telling his story. http://vintagesleds.com/bs/index.php/topic,76038.0.html


P.S. I was waiting for someone who was there to post JD results.

Pin it and enjoy that magic that is your Deere. - Mark

I seemed to have been a much better driver when my sled was slower.

I did race my cyclone at ER. They screwed up on the sled info. This year I easily qualified for the final. The last couple years I've been struggling with the stock primary, and secondary. It is now converted to Polaris clutches,for more tunability. The final was kinda disappointing, I found that a mouse had eaten a big piece of fan belt off. I had gotten a bad start 8th or so, and worked up to 3rd. On th 3rd lap the belt had given up, as the motor got hotter, and slower. I managed 5th. I really believe that it can win, I've gotten numerous heat, wins, and some 2nds in the finals in provintage. This Monday I delivered a spare motor to an well recognized engine builder. I've been running a stock motor so far, so we shall see.........Any help would be very appreciated.....
