I went to the local ice races a couple weeks ago. All the bikes seem to be dirt trackers with ice screws.

There's a small class of speedway bikes

There's also a third wheel class, but no monkeys allowed.

A friend's TT500 has seen regular service in recent years...often holding off newer stuff under the right conditions.

That dudes bands look stretched pretty bad if that bike is just siting static with no weight on it, even with weight on it it looks bad to me...but to each there own i am a heavy dude so i run two bands each side and use the heavy Antig bands

"Under the right conditions" is important, isn't it? Back in the day I came in second in the Open class running a clapped out Bultaco 250 in the stock frame against a field of 500s. Of course the track was in a horse show ring at the Marion County fairgrounds, not much straightaway to speak of.
