Racing Season Preparation by Kyle Roggenkamp

As a snocross family it always amazes me how long the offseason can feel, but then again how fast the season approaches once the kids are back in school. Our two kids race in the ISOC Regional and National series, and with both series releasing their schedules at Hay Days, we are in the middle of preparing for another great season of racing!

We are entering our fourth season of snocross, and each year we get (at least a little) smarter than we were the season prior. Last year taught us that the next season starts the same day the current season ends. So with that in mind, before the snow had melted away last spring, we kicked off our 2022/23 campaign by buying this season’s sleds, purchasing race fuel, and making a checklist of everything we needed to do in the off-season.

At that point in late March, we were feeling good about our preparation for the upcoming season; we just needed to make progress in the off-season on that checklist. But then the weather got nice, we blinked, and suddenly found that the kids were back in school and Hay Days was behind us, but we still had our checklist that somehow survived the summer seemingly unscathed.

As I write this, we are only a handful of weeks away from practice tracks opening, so we are fortunate that the remaining items on our checklist for sled preparation are simple like installing skis, hand guards, and data systems on the sleds.

Before we know it, we’ll be watching the snow fall and listening to crispy two strokes flying through the early winter air. I can almost feel it …are you ready?

If you’ve tried the rest... IT’S TIME TO TRY THE BEST!
