    Pfft, this type of thing is what mudflaps are for. Plus, if I demolish my Rally Armors, I could then order up some super special Gridlocked mudflaps. :)

    It looks like I might be heading up to the Ice race for the day. YAY!

    My flaps will be remaining on. They have been on my car for the previous 3 or 4 ice races I have been to and have never had a problem (although I might it fewer snow banks than some people ;-) )

    2 days ago it was a foot of slush, I pulled a groomer over it yesterday and where I drove it froze nice. Today I widened it some and its looking alot better.
    If that track doesnt look good by Monday im going to try to plow another one, it will be small but if you would see how much snow we have you would understand.

    its not slushy anymore, I pulled a groomer over the slushy areas so its not too rough. I will take the plow out on Tuesday and smoothe it out.

    The snow is up to the bottom of the stop sign on the top of the road from the snowplow. Virginia & Hibbing are an hour south of here and driving in town is horrible because you can't see if any cars are coming.
    Add another 12+ inches of snow to these pictures:

    definitely. I've always made the mistake of doing the whole weekend the first trip, and a day on the second. not this year!

    Max's car.....it might make it :)

    started the evening with the engine/tranny on the floor (and not together)...

    then:
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    left the driveshaft in it, left the linkage bolted to the tranny. dropped the tranny xmember, and threaded the whole unit in as one piece. lined the driveshaft up as we put everything in.

    [​IMG]




    FYI. motor mounts CAN be mounted both ways. and flipping one around with the engine in the car is a pain.

    this looks like it might suck for photographs due to the huge snow walls lol.

    rich, will there be spots cleared out for people to spectate from? or a spot to park a truck so I can stand higher up to take pics when we're doing the timed runs?
