USXC Racing Season Went Out With A Bang
The USXC Racing season went out with a bang. Pinehurst Resort and the Naytahwaush Nightriders played host to 180+ entries on beautiful North Twin Lake. Terrific weather and a fast 10 mile Lemans course made for some great side by side racing over 2 days. The Pro Stock final was won by Chad Lian on a super fast Arctic Cat. It was Chad's first Pro win in 11 years of racing plus the first ever pro class win for a four-stroke powered snowmobile. The ever present Polaris of Canadian driver Aaron Christensen was a close second. Zach Herfindahl who has won the previous 6 USXC Pro Stock finals came in 3rd. Ryan Trout, the winner of Semi Pro, was offered the chance to start last behind 18 Pro riders and he made the most of it, passing all but the top 3 ending up 4th. Veteran Pro rider Gabe Bunke rounded out the top 5 on his fast Polaris.
The Semi Pro final was the best race of the day as Skidoo's Craig Ritzinger and Arctic Cat’s Ryan Trout battled side by side for 60 miles. Trout passed Ritzinger 20 feet from the finish line winning by 2 feet. Check out the USXC Racing web site for complete results. The USXC season ending awards banquet will be held at Thumper Pond Resort in Ottertail, MN on April 8th. USXC ran 6 two-day events plus the 3-day Winnipeg to Willmar I-500 in 2017.

2017 USXC Lake Racing
Saturday & Sunday, March 4th & 5th
An approximate 10-mile Lehmans course race track with all classes, except for Pro Open, Pro Stock, and Semi Pro Stock were scored by combining 2-day points using the regular USXC points system. Any ties were broken by the racer's best lap times. If a sled broke down, the racer received points for the last finished position. If the breakdown was on Saturday, the points were carried over to Sunday's points. Starting order for Sunday's races were inverted from Saturday's starting order.
Pre-tech was held on Friday afternoon and on Saturday morning. Each day at 8:00 AM, the racers had a drivers meeting followed by a pre-ride for 1-lap. There were designated areas for testing. The day continued with staging and the races started promptly at 9:00 AM.
