    well the course is rough but it driveable. have have been making 3 passes with the groomer everyday and will do so until thursday. Looks like the slush on the main part of the lake is freezing up nice, I will try to do some plowing Tuesday and get another course going. We will use the better of the 2 for the main race and the other to practice.

    Well, now I might not be able to make it. Good thing I didn't reserve those hotel rooms just yet. Should know for sure within a couple days.

    ^ That's a nice surrounding break.

    I just had an unavoidable funeral scheduled for Saturday, so it looks like I'm out.

    Does anyone else want to be on the backup list? as of now its empty so you will probably get a spot. Looks like there will be a bed spot open for Saturday night also.

    If you can use a Nissan T25/T28, I would try the D-town.us classified forum.
