One week prior to the start of the 2009-10 Snocross race season, Tucker Hibbert reports in with some photos and insight of the Hibbert race shop.
In Tucker’s words….
My dad and Fred Olson are stumped on how to put the rest of the skidframe together.
Fred has been working hard and smiling all the time. Thanks Fred! [Editor’s note: Fred has probably logged more wrench time on Hibbert (both Kirk and Tucker) race sleds than anyone else.]
I caught Mike Larson trying to steal this wad of brown packing paper. Either that, or he is just finishing up the spare parts inventory and neatly packing everything away. Thanks Mike!
Jeff Tweet is heading out the door with my Mod race engine case to assemble everything at his shop. Jeff can build anything. Thanks Jeff!
My dad is working to cut some weight from my mod sled parts. Maybe we can try cutting his hair in the lathe? Thanks dad!
All the new Castle/Monster team gear has arrived and looks really cool!
My stock race sled is about 97% ready for the start line.
My mod race sled is about 97% NOT ready for the start line.
One of my dads old race sleds is now a storage rack for my hoods and pods. Kinda sad… I wish he would blow the dust off it and race the Pro Vets class at Duluth!
Thanks to Kate Sandberg, lunch today was an entire loaf of banana bread! We put it in the oven to warm it up. Now I am extremely full and won’t need to eat again until Duluth.
I am pumped up for the season to start. We have been very busy at the shop piecing everything together and we will be ready to rip when the green flag flies at Duluth. Hope to see you there!
