YT175 ice racing

[tborden3035]

Hey guys I need some help brainstorming for my 1983 tri moto 175. We run a race once a year in Wisconsin on the ice 200cc or less. this year I decided I was going to bring something new to the table with a Yamaha. This past summer I punched it out 2mm and polished the intake and upped the carb. I have great power and keep up with the 200x all day and pass them on the straight aways but when it comes down to the sharp turns and handling I just can't keep it planted. I think if I could extend the axle out it would help emensly. So what would be my best option? New hubs with offset rims, aftermarket extended axle, wheel spacers, or any other ideas? Thanks for the help.

Other ideas...Pump 28% nitrogen fertilizer in the inside rear wheel, it weighs over 10.5# per gallon and doesn't freeze and all the above you mentioned. Some people have put go cart axles ect. on their trikes for some types of racing. I have no idea. Sounds fun.
