We do have ice races here....


Just spent 6.5 hrs driving thru that white shit (normaly a 3 hr drive) 3 semis in the ditch, 2 cars and 17 drive-in-& outs). Were expecting between 4-6 " more of it (or so they say) have got 4" already. Nice heavy, slushy, icy crap.

The ice chunks on the highway tore off my front vallance. It is not so fun driving sideways at 60 when you don't want to.

Hahaha!

I think I'll stick with my more traditional sled!

I've seen a couple of flakes but nothing on the ground yet. Rain has been keeping me away from the teen.

We used to ice race cars and bikes (with wheels) when I was a kid, spikes and all.

But a sled is way more fun.
Sumptin about going across a frozen lake at over 100 mph that's just a tad cool.

Sleding is fun. The crap we got today isn't. It's deep enough and slushy enough that it builds up in front of your tires, instead of driving over it you push it ahead of you. Like driving on ballbearings.

Figures, I got the 70 safety on Friday, could drive it legaly if this crap haden't fallen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

On a plus note Customs was very friendly today, even came out and cleaned off my front plate. (Camera can't take pictures thru ice). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

I hear ya... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)
My touring sled does 107mph on radar. No speed limits on a lake (yet...and they haven't found a way to tax that here either...but they will)
But the sliding sidways at 75mph in amoungst the trees is the real rush. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
Only another couple of weeks and I 'll have my sled out.
Put the teener away for the winter yesterday. Maybe next year I'll get to drive it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Something I wouldn't live without for 4 months of the year. I guess you just have to love it to live up here.

Hmm...

We got 1.5 inches of rain from Saturday to this evening. Thats like 14 -15 inches of that white stuff. Plus I don't have to shovel it.

If I could I would have sent it to San Diego. They could use enough to put out the fires but not so much as to cause a Land slide.

Ya'll hang tough out there.

Thought those only adapted to 4 X 4's? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

All you would need is a Porsche to Chev wheel adaptor. Wonder if Kennedy makes those? Or do they fit our bolt patterns?

I have a buddy that owns several float planes. He might have a set of ski's around that could be adapted.

The floor pan on a teener would be very suited to a conversion. Nice and smooth, that is till you get to the air intake. It might get a little clogged with snow.

I looked at the adaptors shown above last year. If I remember you could buy a really really nice 6 for what they cost. You could buy 2 nice snowmobles for the same $ Then add in the cost of the ski's....

It would take a lot of bank to build that conversion.
