Fish getting his airtime with pinks camera crew

Last weekend the popular Speed Channel television show 'Pinks' came to US 131 Motorsports Park in Martin, Michigan and several daring asphalt snowmobile racing teams got in on the action.  The four teams consisted of Bellman Racing, Sled-X Racing, Louie Bilt Racing and Jeff White Racing. Drivers for the teams were Brian 'Fish' Finlinson, Tony Morabito, Edwin Wirbel and Greg Thomas respectively.

This was the biggest crowd that US 131 has recorded with over 50,000 people cramming through the doors to try and get a good spot to watch the snowmobiles and other fast drag-racing machines. According to Jamie Bellman (owner of Bellman Racing) "The crowd was 10 people deep along the fence all the way to the finish line!  The snowmobiles were a huge crowd favorite and were asked to make several passes after their exhibition run."

Edwin Wirbel and Louie Bilt Racing set the pace with a 8.24 second pass at 155mph.
