Just a heads up for anyone interested, the Amsoil Championship Snocross season starts today. It’s all free to watch via Livestream.

Former champ Tucker Hibbert is looking to reclaim his crown lost last year to fellow MXer Kody Kamm.

Today's opening ceremonies is at 5pm Central Time. Today is just the Amsoil Dominator Race. Real racing starts tomorrow.
The Amsoil Dominator Race puts 2 riders on the track in a bracket style race. The winner after 2 or 3 laps moves on to the next round. Winner takes home 10K.
The stream is completely free and in HD. I wish they would get better announcers for the series. One of the guys keeps saying the drivers instead of riders and it gets on my nerves everytime he says it. Anything with handlebars you ride and anything with a steering wheel you drive. You don't drive a bicycle you ride a bicycle.
Should be a good season. Sucks that Elias Ischoel is going to miss the first 4 rounds though.
Yeah, he can be annoying as shit.
One thing I just realized is there are no more mod sleds in the Pro Open class. Now, they run stock sleds with “obscured” headlights and different, louder exhaust silencers. Definitely a bummer!
That's weird because I could of sworn I saw a pic of the new Ski-Doo RS fitted with twin pipes. Pretty sure I saw an Artic Cat as well.
If that's the case there's practically no difference between the Pro class and Pro Lite class since last year Pro Lite could run an after market exhaust. Sounds like the only difference between the 2 classes now is talent.

With Elias Ischoel being out for the first 4 at least there won't be as much crashing. He is fast and wild, when he gets it figured out he will be the champ.
Just a heads up, you'll get to see snowbike racing if you go on the Friday.
Warnert Racing/Makita
BOSS Racing/Jimmy John's/XPS
Scheuring Speed Sports/Air Force/Amsoil
Why can't moto get/keep sponsors? Is it because Bros are trying to be business men?
I mean the snocross side of sport is now basically midwest and upper new England, and their snow season is only 1/2 the length of the western states including California.
From what Ive heard from dealers is the mountain market is massive in comparison now because of the long snow seasons from late Sept Thru June-July. And the aftermarket demand is damn near that of side by sides.
Pit Row
If we could keep snow on the moto tracks around here it seems like a good way local tracks to make some extra money during the winter.
or just some sort of XC/enduro/rally kinda racing.
Anyways the ladies final was a podium of babes it looked like i just tuned in.
Mike didn't like that I said riders, he said they're drivers and I kept saying riders anyways.
They only paid 300 a weekend and no expenses.
I told them I wanted more and they told me take it or leave it, so I left.
Everyone told me I killed it and I really enjoyed it too and still follow the sport.
It's just hard for me to listen now.
Kody won the Dominator tonight so that's cool.
Lots of praise for the new Arctic Cat race sled, and they seemed to be way better on starts compared to past years.
Still pretty pissed they went away with the mods. Not sure who's/was behind that decision but he/they clearly wasn't/weren't thinking straight when that decision was made. I just think there's not enough difference between the Pro Lite class and Pro class now. In the previous years I didn't even have to look at the screen to know it was the Pro Open class on track and now I have to look at the screen and see which class is written on the screen. I know the Pro Lite class have the unobstructed headlights but still.
I'll give it to ISOC that they aren't afraid to try new things to see if they work or not. It seems like they make changes to the series every year and you don't see any shortage of riders showing up so they're doing something right.
Tomorrow's opening ceremonies starts at noon EST.
Side Note: They have to get rid of the Schroeder guy. I really can't stand him saying drivers and independent driver a thousand times during the broadcast. It's RIDER/S and PRIVATEER/S FFS. Colby Crapo is an ex racer and is new to the announcing gig but he needs to practice a lot. He should of been practicing over the course of the summer. Hopefully he'll get better because as a racer he's got knowledge and a different point of view.
