\u201cIce\nBlast\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Straightline Snowmobile Racing held its first\nrace of the NSSR 2019 Super Series on Forest Lake in Forest Lake, MN for the\n\u201cFastest Show on Ice\u201d. Forest Lake has a long History of hosting NSSR for Speed\nRunning and it is always a great race at this location. Ten World Records set\nand Top Speed at 186 mph in 1000 feet!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperatures ranged from a\n-12 degrees F in the early morning to 11 degrees F in the afternoon with only a\nslight breeze varying at 5 to 10 mph from the Southwest to Southeast during the\nday. The 1000 foot shaved ice track, 4000 feet shaved with shutdown, was aimed to\nthe Northeast. Temperatures were good to make the needed ice prior to the event.\nWith mostly cloudy skies holding for the day and some sun during the mid to\nlater afternoon. It was great that Ole Man Winter showed up this year to make\nsome great ice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racer entries included nearly\n80 entries on the Pro track and 100 on the Radar Run track making a great\nnumber of entries at 180 hot rods and just over 750 safe passes between the two\nshaved ice tracks. These snowmobile race enthusiasts are having a blast running\ntheir sleds, vintage rides, kid\u2019s minis, and ATV\u2019s on the Radar Run Track at\nNSSR they bring to the race track. There are nearly 40 classes on the Radar Run\ntrack that have trophies presented for first, second, and third places.  This race included the first of three races\nfor the TopGun Challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was great weather to get\nthe spectators out to watch some fast passes on the ice and the track held up\nwell for racing action all day.  The\nRadar Run track had some great hot rods including vintage sleds, many running\nnear or above the 100 mph mark. Twenty one of the Pro Entries ran at speeds of\n130 mph or better in this competition. Our competitors continue to come from\nthroughout the Midwest and included racers for North Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota,\nWisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSSR is the only ISR\nAffiliated Speed Run Organization where you can set World Records on the 1000\nfoot shaved ice competition and all require a backup speed within 2%. NSSR\nRacers posted ten World Records at this race due to the great weather and a\nvery track on good black ice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
