    Shame we don't have the Triple Crown anymore, The Alpena 250, the T.C. 250 and the I-500. Used to be great times back in the 70's..

      @@jeffmcphail5586 The enduro racing circuit broke down long ago because of childish power struggles. They still dont know how to market still to this day, the announcers they have at the Soo make reference to the "huge" crowds which are not there.

    Ah, what a good time I used to have. I’d watch the first few hours then, my vices would take over, then I’d get smashed and party and talk to everyone I could in the beer tent, stagger bout to watch the last few laps, back to get one more, leave and go back to some house party and always a great time. But that was years ago, couldn’t do that again, but loved those years when I could. Just a dam good time. Hats off to those who can do that kind of endurance. It’s a sport that gets very little air time, it’s a hard drive so the guys are in great shape and have balls of steel too. I remember many times at 9 am start, with so. UFO snow fog, the green flag drops and all the sleds go full throttle with only few feet visibility and boy that was scary.
