TIP-UP-TOWN USA 2005

[420 RACING]

Just wondering if anybody from here has plans or is planning on going? Dates are as follows Jan 14-16 and 21-23 of 2005. Tip up town takes place on Houghton lake. There is alot of things to do like em BEER TENTS, helo rides, polar bear dip, clothing vendors,bracket drag racing on the ice, radar runs by displacment cc's, and a whole lake to tear up. I had my banshee out there last year along with my snowmobile, there was like 8-10 inches of snow all hard pack I had my 10 paddle haulers and holy shit they hook up great on hard pack.

Just thought I would drop a little info a couple weeks early.

No plans at this point, will hollar at some of the bro's, sounds like fun. I'm from Battle Creek. Is it typical to have enough snow on the ice to run paddles, don't have any studded?

I was there every year through 2003 when the put a kabosh on the drag racing. I heard 04 was a dud as well. It would be cool if it was a big deal again.

Yup i was there in 03 also that was closed due to the 8 wheeled tractor that they were going to use to groom the strip went through the ice it took a house moving company to lift that mammoth out of the ice. And 04 the ice was questionable to drive a car on, those lazy asses didn't want to drag all of the shit out 1/4 mile to set up the track. But there is always drags at the campgrounds and infront of what used to holiday on the lake.

Hell yea!! Houghton lake is the biggest inland lake in Michigan. If there is alot of snow though you may have to ride the shore line to stay on the hard pack. Just to give you a rought size of the lake it takes about 30-45 min to lap the lake at about 60-70 on a snowmobile. And if you come I hope you are over 21 lots of snow bunnies!!!!!! I think you know what I mean. The bars are jammed and the tents that they set up outside are jammed also......lots of fun. any more ?'s I will try to answer.
