thought id take a moment to try to embarrass my friend Justin (jebbin12)

good to see an orger take a podium!!!

The guy gets second in the EIIR round one in Stl.

He had to sign autographs after the show.. lol

way to go man

and looky what I dug up on the old interweb.... the podium shot!!!!!!

So are you gonna do all the rounds Justin? just kidding...

But cmon, we need a speech or a statement..lol that podium photo besides those other two guys makes you look 6-5" lol

Congrats...

LOL Well thanks Jeff. As for the big speech, you are going to have to check out MavTV. They televised the whole thing and I gave an interview for them afterwards. Also there is a youtube video of the main. If I knew how to put it on here I would. Here is the link if someone knows how to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNCL2KM2k0w

I think I am going to try and do the one in Michigan also. It is on March 5th...Right now I am 3rd in points only doing one race, so if I do another and do well in it, I should be top 5 at the end of the year.

It was a blast. My second time ever on ice, so I didnt do to bad. It is pretty much whoever gets the holeshot. I won both my heat races, but so did two others. So we had to flip coins for the starting gate, and naturaly me being the most unlucky person in the world, lost and had to start very outside. The concrete starting coming up about halfway through the race which made it extremely slick.

Here are a few pictures they took:

If I'd known we had an org member i would have come to see it instead if workin on the truck.

You should have come anyway. Those speedway bikes are insane. I dont know how they even stay up.

way to go justin

Thank you.

Good job Justin?

The ice is fun

nice work justin!!! i'm missing the ice already and the last race was only a week ago!

congrats man. ice racing is fun....i wish the lakes would have stayed frozen longer

Thanks guys, that sucks that the lakes are already thawed. I wanted to make a trip up once this season and try out some lake ice racing. Maybe next year I guess.

The XIIR will be at the Palace in Auburn Hills on thursday March 5th. If its close you guys should come check it out. So far I am planning on running it. Hopefully things go as well as they did last time.

March 5th. i might have to go. its only a short drive away

You definitly should then. You can order tickets online or at the door. I dont think a stadium that big will sell out. haha
I dont really care for bikes at all, but those speedway bikes are something out. Pretty much a mountain bike with a 500cc motor strapped on it. They are insane. I have no idea how they even stay up on one.

hey new to the fourm looking for info on Extreme Internatiuonal Ice Racing what kind of studs do you have to run any help would be great thanks

You have to buy your studs from them. They are like 1" gold kold kutters or something like that. Not anyone can race it though. Its kind of like an invitation only series. You would have to get ahold of the promotor if you are wanting to run one of the rounds.

March 5th where is it at, can you shout me the place or is it on there site. I found it but I thank you going to have to count me out. From here that is a 14 hour Drive for me and I don't thank I want to drive that far for a ice race when the racing season is going to start in a mouth. I may try to attend the Chicago race but I will have to see where I'm at when it comes closer.

It is at the The Palace in Aubrun Hills, Michigan. Not sure where you saw Chicago at, but there isnt one in Chicago. www.xiir.com

thanks i have talked to them i am racing two rounds but i dont want to get the studs the day before the race was just seeing if you new what they were. they are quiet about what they use. i guess if it wasnt for the the last min nothing would get done thanks for your help

Ya they dont like to give that out. That is how they make money is you buying their studs. All I know is they come out of California and if you buy 1000 studs, doesnt necessarily mean there is 1000 in the bag haha. I had a bolt and chain link in my bag along with only about 800 studs. I got mine the night before and it wasnt too bad. Takes a couple hours to do them.

What rounds are you racing?

Justin there's two ice races near you, there was one just last night in Danville IL. Check out the web site I showed you www.icespeedway.com Check it out and meet me there if you can I may go just waiting a hear back from a job.

That is a different series. And like the rest, you have to use their special studs. I dont have the cash for 5 sets of tires with different studs for each series.

i am racing the rounds in new york cant wait till this weekend.

it would be nice if they ran the same studs i know the ice series runs silver rocket racing studs.

Ya I know that, but xiir wont tell you what kind they run. They are gold though, so I know there are not the same as the ice series.

Hey Justin I know the guys putting on the race do you want me to see if they will let you run them studs?

You can try, but I highly doubt they would. Find out about all the licenses and fees also. I think you have to buy a pro license from them. Let me know how much its all will cost me and I will see what I can do.

Ok I sent them a e-mail!

They said the best they can do is let you rent a set.

So how did you do? I see that a local guy made the podium on saturday night.

i didnt make the main either night the guy i race with made the main both night's got 2 on sat. i couldnt get off the line either night tryed changing gearing sat and made it worse than friday night but i didnt to to bad in the heat races not bad for our first time on the ice. next year

Ya the indoor man made ice is tricky. It is extremely hard and nothing like lake ice. The starts are the hardest part, and the track is so small that they are also the most important part.

i know its not that they are that fast but the launch off the start and thats the end of the race the one dude on the 250 r is sick out of the hole

LOL Thats funny. That would be Nathan. I dont know how he does it. He stands it up in a wheelie off the line everytime. When we raced there was 3 of us that won both our heats. I got screwed in the coin toss and had to start outside. Nathan won and was on the bottom. That coin toss decided the whole race because the starts are so important.

If anyone has Mav TV the St. Charles races will be on the following dates and times: (All Eastern Times)
3-26...10pm
3-27...4am
3-27...11pm
3-28...5am
3-28...11am
3-28...4pm
3-31...9pm


Looks like I am heading to the Michigan round Thursday morning at about 5am, so wish me luck.

good luck beat them at there own game

what day is it? i wonder if tickets are still available?

Good luck I had the same problems at \ just to much hookup, even after I changed gears. The race will be on the speed channel at the end of 2009.

It is at the Palace in Auburn Hills Thursay at 7:30 pm. Tickets should still be available. You can buy them at the door.

Your talking about two totally different series. The xiir and the i.c.e. series you ran are not the same.


Actually I need to find a little more forward bite so I can beat Nathian out of the hole.
