Still ------ the Sons of Thunder" Ride!

UPDATE:

Klint and Kris VanWingerden will be racing in the 2015 Iron Dog Pro Class.  It is the longest snowmachine race in the world. Follow them and learn more about The World's Longest, Toughest Snowmobile Race by hitting 'Like' on their Facebook page:  Team Sons of Thunder

VE Racing is no more and not only that but Kim and Tony are divorced so that aspect of this racing family has changed drastically which we are not happy about - but life goes on, right? It has to.

Anyway, check out the VanWingerden guys this coming winter. It should be fun to watch.

Klint ran in the Trail Class of the Irondog in 2014.  Here he is with his beautiful wife Calli.

Their team #46 came into Nome first even after many problems that stopped them all along the way.

Good job Team #46!

New Video!

This is the second video from the 2008 moto season. A short clip on what Klint and Kris will be racing. The Egbert's won't be racing this summer, not that they don't want to race but because it's just too expensive for a young family to do!

We miss them all lot!

Hey Marie, we love your pictures!

Finally a race!

Klint and Kris participated in the races on Sunday. Unfortunately Kris' race day was cut dramatically short due to a twisted up tie rod, etc. He was coming around the first corner after the start line and got hit pretty hard. And that was all she wrote for the day. He was able to finish his first race of the day and placed 4th. Klint completed both motos was able to secure 2nd place for most of them. Here are a few pictures from the sunny, but windy race day.

Anxious to get riding

We were out on the 4-wheelers this weekend and took a ride down the long muddy wet power line trail towards the little su. It was fun to get out and do the campfire thing again. Even though it has snowed this week, getting out on the 4-wheeler and having a campfire along the trail is such a summer thing to do, it feels like the season has started. Now if only we can get the races to take place!

Snowy Kincaid Track

VE Racing got to Kincaid just a few minutes before four. It was a beautiful day, bright and excited for the start of a new season of motocross - but the track was covered with fresh snow. Still there were some out there riding around in the muck!

First practice Sunday was also canceled.

NRA Racing

I've (Connie) recently become an NRA member! I was just visiting their website and saw their NRA Racing page. Cool.

Kincaid in Anchorage
