Race Recap
First practice rounds, team showed great lap times
and good sled performance. Under the new ISOC
organization, course format is different, with
longer track set-up than in previous years. As
racers plied their trade, track conditions deteriorated
setting up for a very difficult race. Robbie Malinoski
had his share of bad luck, crashing twice over
the two day weekend.
Of the more noteworthy moments; Robbie led for
twelve laps of his Pro Open LCQ heat, picked a
bad line and was passed by Turcotte in the final
laps. This put him on the back row for the Pro
Open Final. He had a good start, and began the
methodical process of picking riders off one-by-one.
In the midst of the battle, he hit an ice berm
in “The Abyss” launching him into a nose dive,
resulting in a wicked crash.
The team wrestled with holeshots the entire weekend…with
the course set-up and the high skill level of
Pro Level riders, it is no easy task to get back
to the front when you get jammed in the chaos
of traffic. Overall, the team is excited about
the new organization, the format and the enthusiasm
of the crowds and the sled performance. We still
have work to do, and the boys are hard at it already.
We are greatly encouraged by Robbie’s fast lap
times, and know where we need to be to bring the
rest in line. The next race is fast upon us and
we are all working on podiuming at Ironwood.
