Jan.23, 2012- Lake Nebagamon, WI Our race fans are awesome and just a little crazy! It was sub-zero temperatures in Eagle River at the Eagle River Derby World Championship during the Friday Night Thunder. Temps were about 20 below without the wind chill and the snow dust was so bad you could hardly see. But thanks to our outstanding fans it was a blast!
Friday – Ross Martin won both of his Pro Rounds. In the Pro Open Final he hit major traffic in the first corner which left him completely turned around facing the other way when the carnage settled. Ross finally got his sled turned around leaving him way behind in like 10th position. Instinctively he just put the hammer down and flew around the track battling his way to a phenomenal 2nd place podium.
Saturday - After excellent rounds Ross was the top qualifier for Sunday’s World Cup Pro Open Final.Sunday - He had a great shot off the line but in an intense battle for first he took a hard off and just didn’t have time to work his way back up in a podium position before the final flag.
Friday – James Johnstad has truly earned a huge pat on the back. This is James first year moving up to the Pro Lite Class and he is raced like a champ. He qualified well and ran a phenomenal Final also capturing a 2nd place podium. He looked great on Sunday as well finishing 4th in the Final.
“James deserves kudos for not just meeting the challenge of moving up a class but exceeding our expectations this quickly.We are stoked to see him do so well! You will no doubt be hearing from him frequently this season.” said a very pleased Scott Judnick, Team Owner
