First time seeing this style of racing. Very cool.
7 Time winner! Awesome.
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..
Because nobody can agree on anything, just like a bunch of toddlers.
Or lack of snow
@@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.
💯 adgree.. all that money owners put into their teams and hardly nobody in the stands. sad
There will never be a golden era like the 70's and triple crown.....awesome memories...!
Cant even imagine how sore these guys are a day or two after this enduro.
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.
500 laps... holy crap!
That equals 500 miles.
I've been flabbergasted with this race every time I see it.
Going Nowhere Fast 🎉 🥳
Michigan is just awesome
Is this what became of the old Winnipeg to St Paul I 500? Them were the days!
My John Deere dealer entered a few times
No, different race.
different race and only started 3 years after that cross country race
This is wild
Wow never heard of this race but this is awesome.
What a race. Praise God for enough snow !
this should air on tv , how do you think they are going to get more people interested in this , they are scaring people away !
who watches TV still? i dont know anyone under the age of 55 with a tradition TV subscription
WELL I MENT YOU TUBE TV !

INTERNATIONAL...Born in Canada....74...
I live in Pennsylvania and we used to be able to ride sleds every year until about 8 years ago then it hasn't hardly snowed enough
This is a walk in the park compared to the iron dog race in Alaska.
a lot of the racers get back problems... this year and the last 2 years the track gets so bumpy they start wheeling and the g forces put on the body..
Iron Dawg Baby!
Thats so bad ass!
The Yooper accent is hilarious.
hit sam racks there
You must check out the band called the Yoopers then.
Funny and talented.
This is so cool
How fast they went?
IronDog is going into the return to Biglake Alaska this week
Was it was even below freezing there today?
Nope they started at like 30 degrees and highest was like 34-35
Where is this? Ive never seen this before.
Sault Ste. Marie, MI
Where do racers get the windshields like that??
At the snowmobile shop.
my gosh. how much time does this take?
roughly 8 hours now
The original I500 was from Thunder bay to St Paul
You all obviously haven’t been to Alaska! Try the iron dog race, follows the Iditarod sled dog race, round trip through real wilderness! You down south have no clue about our Alaska! Try 2000 miles through varied wilderness terrain up here!😳🤣🤪
It’s not about Alaska
@@Adam-x4b No shit!😳🤪
Pretty much like riding anywhere in the Midwest all day.
If it's grueling WHY do it 🤪🤯
because its fun.
they are so loud I can hear them in Canada😋
500 miles with angry Bumblebees bathed in castor oil and race gas. I'm in.
Should be a new Arctic Thunder game
🎉spider.....Eyes......fried clam
winnipeg to st paul was a lot tougher than this. was a great race but made no money as no paid attendance.
❤❤
So, like do Winnipeggers unnerstan'..yooper?
IDK why it has to be an oval race, a couple more turns would make this truly the Le Mans 24h or Bathurst 1000 of snowmobiles instead of being an overly-long oval race
Merica. We only turn left.
@@leerjet18 - It'd be way cooler though...
whats a kilometer?
@@Dale.Wiggins88 - The French decided a couple of centuries ago that a kilometer should be 1 ten-thousandth of the distance between the North/South pole and the equator.
@@DiegoRuiz1991 you didnt get the joke. america just does it better
i miss john deers
Dangerous. If he got tagged when he fell off he would have been instantly killed. So not worth it.
Track is too big for me. Too many sleds, competition is who can handle a tore up track.
Its an endurance race. Not made for wimps race
This race is an endurance race that’s why they tear the track up so much.. and I love to hear the sleds roaring when I walk out my house
I can't wait to go there some year..lol
@@mountaincat2001 race week is the last monday of janurary 2025 to feb 1st 2025
Americans seem to have a propensity to turn left, very boring !! they should built a few jumps into the track, that would have made it a little more interesting.
😴
Finish line is placed to reward big motors not skills, should have that line in the middle of the front stretch.
Same motors buddy all restricted to 600cc
You only had 500 miles to get it done. 300 feet shouldn't matter.
They put the start line close to the 1st turn to let them spread out coming out of turn 2. Been at this race since the 80s and they are trying to keep people in 1 piece.
Looks like a couple of gay guys riding sleds!
Boooo. Grow up.
This would be nice and good race if you do full race not high lights. So next time please do full 500 laps race fun and enjoy to watch please and thank you sincerely Christopher wright let's go racing. If we any women riders ladies and gentlemen start your engines and let's go snow mobile racing
