A new Top Speed World record was set at NSSR “Fire on Ice” Snosuit Super Series on January 31, according to a NSSR press release.
Glen Hall on a Henricks Racing ProLine D&D 1200 Turbo Sled set the new records at 170.078 mph.
In the competition was “Fast Eddy” Ensor from Illinois on the Busa Mod and the Marv Jorgenson Jaws1 sled driven by Darrin Weber.
“Fast Eddy” was creeping up on the 170 mph record with a pass of 167.117 mph when he encountered mechanical problems and was done early in the day. Jaws1 sled made some great passes with a top speed of 160.893 mph while fighting a coolant leak which hindered performance of this great sled.
Sunshine and temperatures approaching 40 degrees Fahrenheit helped make this race day a success, according to an NSSR spokesperson.
Despite the headwind, sixteen of the entries still managed to exceed the 130 mph mark and of those, eight were over the 150 mph mark.
The addition, the Vintage and Pro Mod classes for the World Record Series proved to be exciting with Rick Bolduc posting three new records on the SRX Yamahas and Jack Hendricks posting a 161.194 mph pass on his new ProLine/D&D Turbo Pro Mod.
NSSR’s next 1000 foot World Record Speed Run is scheduled for Saturday February 14th at Forest Lake Minnesota. This race will also host the Kids Pro Ice Series, showcasing the future racers as they put their mini sleds to the test. See our website at www.racenssr.com for more information on location and hotel rooms. Registration is at 8AM and racing goes from 10 AM to 4 PM.
