Yeah you can check out the live stream at http://www.usccracing.com/news08/i500radiolive.php

Is it the same coverage?

Troy Hanson is the first one in, then Dyrdahl. Looks like everyone will have their work cut out if they want to catch Dyrdahl tomorrow.

XLR8ER · Jan 19, 2008

listening to the radio cast, how many started, i thought I heard 60 ?

XLR8ER · Jan 19, 2008

never mind I found the entry list........................this makes more sense

Jack08 · Jan 19, 2008

What sleds are they running in the Sport 85 class? I'd think the Ski-Doo MX Z 550 X, the Arctic Cat F570, the Yamaha Phazer, and Polaris' Supersport. The Yamaha has way more ponies than the others, with a dry weight only 6 lbs. heavier than the Doo from what I read. Is this right? I don't think any other sleds would qualify though.

Guys are out working on the sleds now, my boyfriend (Emerson) runs the sport 85 class, was in position 36 out of I think 62 sleds. After the drivers meeting we'll get an update on whos where. I think there was a total of 13 sleds out this day of the race..Lacy Whitcomb and Jolene Bute are out of the women class..

Live coverage of today at the 500 has just started.

Jack08 · Jan 20, 2008

Dyrdahl wins the I-500!!! (unofficial)

Jack08 · Jan 20, 2008

Does anyone know why Corey Davidson and James Wilson were DQ'd? They're both on Yamaha's, though other guys on Yammy's passed tech.

gametime · Jan 22, 2008

course cutting, pretty sure they knew they were.

So your saying that there wasn't an arrow saying "Yamaha's this way".
