January 7-8th 2006 (MN SUBARU ICE RACING/ SNOWMOBILE TRIP)

cool. hopefully zach will make it! i wanna see that gc on the ice.

 

I'm going to try to make it, but i left my helmet and my camera at home, and i cant stop back there before taking off from work in order to make it to target at 6:45, so i probably cant get them unless i go home.

my fouled spark plug is also causing a bit of erratic idling and not so consistent top end power so i'm kinda hesitant to drive it w/o a replacement so i'm going to try to go to bloomington subaru at lunch and get some replacements and throw them in the back seat.

hopefully the old car can make it, we'll see. i'll try to get to target as early as i can.

 

Im sure you can borrow somones helmet, heck you can borrow mine if you would like, i have a big head so it should fit on most peoples heads.

Just got back home from up there. It was freaking awezome. Can't wait to get pictures and video's.

May the Forester reign supreme

 

how was it up there

 

lotsa cracked bumperzz

 

whos bumpers? and did they get the pocket bike running

 

the pocket bike didnt want to stay running, I guess it was too cold for it. can remember for sure whos, but atleast 4 cracked bumpers, 1 tranny and a motor so far. they are still out there playing

 

i wanted to go up there so bad. have u guys got any video yet

 

soOOoOO! who here broked a tranny and motor? spill the beans!!!

 

chux= engine espirunit== 3rd gear

 

^^oh nO = BaD to teh BoNe

 

haha that kinda sux for zach didnt he plan on going at the last minute?

 

I destroyed both wheel well splash guards, so they gotta be replaced, and I put a big crack in my bumper.

 

what did u hit

 

Lets just call it a rather intimate encounter with a frozen snow bank on the side of the track.

 

ouch that sucks is it a big crack

 

No, probably about 6 inches. But it's right on the edge where the bumper meets the wheel well. So it's stickeng about an inch out now.

And I had to stop on my way home to cut off more of that little splash guard in the right front wheel well. It was loose, and hitting the tire, and breaking off bit by bit and making a ton of noise.

 

some pics

 

I wish I'd been able to be there today too. Hope you guys had a fun second day

 

Today was fun, the course got a little chewed up from last night. And there were pieces of road cones everywhere

 

I had a great time, thanks Rich for hosting this event, and I hope you have another in the future. Now start posting the vids/pics!

 

I just wanted to thank Rich and his family again for such a wonderfull time. You guys are awesome. Rich the fish you made was amazing, best stuff ive ever had. I hope we have another event real soon.

 

Yeah, I normally HATE fish and all sea food, but that stuff was completely amazing. You might have to share the secret to it.

Here is my new desktop background after a tinch of photochop. Was that when you got all the SNOW inside your car Zach?

 

Derides car

Derides car

 

should we start a thread in the photo gallery section? i will shortly if no one else does before i get my pics loaded.

 

thats probably a good idea

 

Hope everyone made it back alright, we saw a few fresh rollovers on the way back.

 

new thread now in photo gallery :lol:

thanks for the good time Rich, it was a blast :lol:

 

If you are talking about the black Dodge Ram that was on it's side on 53 South (I think)--then it happened right in front of us. About 6 cars ahead of us. Just saw something black shoot off the side of the road. As we passed we saw a man lying face down in the snow.

Probably one of the saddest things I have ever seen. Hopefully he was all right. His passenger was sitting beside him curled up in a ball rocking back and forth.

God bless them.

Hope everyone made it back safe as well.
