"Digger" Doug Gust's Winter Wonderland SnowCross Track

Salem, WIDuring the winter months, training can sometimes be impossible for racers who live in the northern states, which has been very apparent in the last couple of weeks as several feet of snow have fallen and temperatures in the mid west and east coast plummeted to the negative digits.

While most pro racers have the option of heading south to warmer climates, some choose to stay and not only weather the storm, but also take advantage of the snow and cold by getting in some cross training.

Digger Doug Gust is one of those racers who love the cold, snowy winters he gets in his home state of Wisconsin. “It gives me the opportunity to build a snow track and get out there and ride my Ski-Doo,” stated Gust, who is an avid snow mobile rider.

“One of the new sleds for 2010 only 448 pounds and the power these machines put out is amazing! They have so much more power than an ATV and the technology they put into them; they are really a blast to ride,” said Gust.

During the winter, Gust’s amazing ATV compound is transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with a snocross track, where he enjoys getting together with fellow ATV and sled racers such as Nick DeNoble, Warnert Racing’s Justin Broberg and factory Polaris racers, Mike Bauer, and former National Snocross champ, Ross Martin, who were all recently at Doug’s place for a little practice and fun. “We have a really great time out here. We usually get about 15 guys together and we ride and race and just have lots of fun,” said Gust, whose track features lots of turns and jumps, including a 100 foot jump that is more than impressive to watch a 500+ pound machine launch over.
