In Beausejour, about 50 miles north of Winnipeg, the temperature dropped to -15 degrees, cold even for oval ice racing in December. On Saturday, the AMSOIL team competed in three heats, finishing in either third or fourth in each. In the 600 final, Wanderscheid battled with Gary Moyle. While the team continued to work on the new sleds handling, the team found great speed on the straightaways. When the checkered flag fell, Wanderscheid cross the finish line in fifth.
The temps warmed up on Sunday and Wanderscheid pushed the AMSOIL sled in position to
grab the holeshot. Unfortunately he was unable to hold the line and was sent into the hay bales. Once restarted, Wanderscheid maneuvered his AMSOIL/Arctic Cat into a final finishing position of fifth.

"It was actually a very promising weekend of racing for the AMSOIL team," said Wanderscheid. Our sled was fast and very bulletproof as we continued to dial in the handling, The sled was very predictable and responsive to our changes. We are looking forward to getting on the track at Rock Rapids, Iowa this coming week. It will allow us to race on a track that closely resembles the track at the AMSOIL Eagle River Derby."
Until then, we'll see you at the races,
