I'm in!!

 

Im in! would be a great way for me to kick off spring break!

 

first day of spring break. sounds good for me. unless i end up going to europe...

 

Hmm, that is right at the end of my spring break. Maybe.

 

i'm probably game. i know martin wants a pic of the 3 green L's.

 

I'd love to come for a day. If I'm around, I'll see what I can do. but I won't be spending the night....I'm still in the hole from last time.

 

whats this maybe stuff? you had a blast last time, and you know you are going again.

ya! we just need to get ryan to paint his wheels gold.

 

I'm in!

I'd love to have a skid pad and/or oval track set up for this one. Having short tracks like that are a blast and a great way to practice.

 

^ yes i agree. and hopefully there will be snow so we dont have to have the whole cone crisis again.

 

I'll probably be in, just need to clear my schedule.

 

mmmm...tempting...might have to break in the new L. I will let you know

 

sweetness...we can have an L derby. unless of course you 2 are pooosays

 

^ FYI: hunter green L parts are becoming harder and harder to find. i have already replaced ALOT of mine (hood, fender, both doors, trunk lid) a derby might not be the best idea. lol

 

no i will not be having a derby with the new paint job and body parts

 

1st page updated, anyone else ?

 

my guess 20+ inches of ice

 

Yeah, it's been very cold up there up until this last weekend. It was still -20 on the 18th... It looks like even with this warmup it'll still stay below 32 up there.

We just need to invite someone with some drywall-screw tires and lots of hp. Chewed-up ice is actually pretty good to drive on...

 

Something like this... Anyone have some undersized tires, a few bolts, and lots o' free time?

 

theres around 32 inches of ice, even if it gets 45 every day it wont melt until late April- early May

 

Ok, I think we're safe as far as ice this time.... We can do a group photo and even invite a few semis out if we want...

 

They have been hauling gravel across the lake to one of the islands, im not sure what a tandem axel dump truck with 10yards of gravel weighs but im sure its alot


if you guys want to help we can go to the gravel pit with my truck and shovel some gravel in and spread it around on the course

 

I think it'll be ok to leave the main course as ice, that way we don't have to separate between hp classes when we do the timed runs. If we setup up some other kinds of tracks, we can play around with the surface.

I'd actually like to have a skid pad that gets flooded so it's ice-rink smooth. That would be fun.

If we can make a short 2 or 3 turn track, we can add some traction to that maybe.

 

sounds good, hopefully we get some of that snow they are predicting for this weekend.

 

ive got a spare set of re-92's if somone wants them for cheap to make some studded tires.

 

rich if you want some help to get some gravel let me know. i might be able to head up earlier.

we should do a actuall skid pad sakting rink, thats big, wide open, and glass smooth.

i will see about getting something with studs up there. but beware with studs come the possibility of thrown studs (read screws) laying on the track.

 

We just got a couple inches of sticky snow

 

No snow here ... it's so warm that I am afraid it's going to have bad effects on the lakes around here .. so hopefully people be careful! I was thinking of trying to make it to the meet, but we'll see - don't put me down yet heheh

Thin ice on medicine lake near me ... and people are still driving on it. Not cool... Though watching an ice house fall into the water is pretty funny ... :laugh:

 

If I had some studded tires I'd join you guys...oh well...sounds like FUN.

 

Yep, you can have a lot of fun with regular all-season tires. Winter tires have an advantage, and studs are just cheating...

Let's get a few more people signed up so we can be sure this is going to happen.

 

I'll check my work schedule then

 

i am haggling some people. might be able to get ihaveawrx to go.

 

It looks like over the next couple days there'll be enough snow up there so we can have a plowed course with snowbanks...

 

w00t, cone problem solved.

 

as long as it doesnt melt

 

^ dont be such a negative nancy rich!
