Nice. I watched some Atv ice racing on TV the other night. Those pit bikes and gas powered bar stools look fun. lol I wonder what the purpose is, for having the fenders moved to the front of the tire, on the dirtbikes. That looks pretty stupid.

They bump each other a lot with the front tire so I think it's to help them from getting tangled up. I also bet it's to help protect other riders from getting hit by the studs in the tires.

Ya I've heard those studs will chew you up pretty good. Good ones are really sharp.

I can't see vids at work, the Blaster and pink 250r only 2 strokes out there?? Looks like an awesome event to watch, but I wouldn't buy any snow cones, where's the hot cocoa ha haa!!! What class do the bar stool carts fall under? Way cool event/pics, thanks for sharing!

The blaster and a 250R rode by a chick was pretty quick. There were no other 2 strokes in this event in Cincinnati, but some of the riders in the International Championship Events (Ice) ride Banshees.
I couldn't imagine eating a snow cone at this event! To keep the fumes down they force air in to the facility from outside and the night we were there it was 8 degrees outside! So needless to say it was freezing in this place.
Barstool class was no class, it was more of a joke and an advertisement for the company that makes them than anything.
