Dragrace at Kommatti Skihill.

[Ike]

So, today was the last riding for this season for me and Samueljackson. Snow is melting reeeaaallly fast now. Actually spring is 2 weeks early this year.

We spend the day at our clubs hilldrags. We had good time and not so good time. Samueljackson had bad luck with the startingline choices with his SRX and I was lacking traction as usual, but we had great time anyway. That old Vmax540 kicked some Doo ass by winning against 500SS rev. That did lift some eyebrows.

I was 4th at the under 800cc and Samueljackson was 5th. Under 800cc class was won with a 600 Rev X. That was one of the fastest 600 I´ve ever seen.

Here are some pics from today

Here I get a lesson at "how to launch from the line". I had slower time in previous heat, so my opponent choce the startinline first. Here is the result... I need a new track!

Great weather! And a great season. Now it´s time for a summer and some servicetime, fishing, mountainbiking etc. Can´t wait for a winter!

Hontri, Be sure to take pics and vids if possible. We would love to see your Max in action. !!!!!!!!

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

Your photos and videos are so awesome to see Ike. I liked seeing Sami kicking but with the 540 V-Max. Was a treat to see it flying down the line. Also liked hearing the sound of your V-4 tearing up the hill. Looks like it was a fun place to go and race. I will be going back now to watch some more of those videos. :rockon:
