Sounds like a good place for ice/snow drags. Watched a few passes a while back of ice drag racing, not sure where it took place though. Looked like a lot of fun.

Good Morning Chuck:

At 1:58 AM it's 62 degrees here, a little wet but warm. Anytime you and the wife want to visit a sunny beach, Norma and I have a warmer place than Yarnell.

Hey, Bob. I start shacking every time I even get close to the Colorado river. Newsome crazies are just not something I want to endure. When you come to Firebird, I just show up to visit though.

I'm only about 15 miles from CA. as the crow flies & don't even like being that close. That being said, I have some races schedule there this year against my better judgment. I guess I love racing more than I dislike CA. My family is going to the LA area this month for a short vacation, I passed on going.

We were at Immokalee for Jan New year race. RV was 49 in early am one morning, I had neglected to turn heat on. Year round racing here is hard to beat.

Back in 2004 I was in upstate NY, -18 f in valley, Tahoe idled at 1100 RPM seemingly forever. Had to drop tires to 20 PSI to get traction.

Have not been to alaska yet but people have told how bad it can get.

We met once at IRR during Covid times, stay warm Mark and be safe.

Just for S#!ts and giggles you should run your weather station for ET prediction to see what it says.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Can you imagine what the motor sees! Omg ! Sonoma gets -100-200 ( have seen -500) below sea level. Chest beating weather! Usually.06 quicker. I’ll have to go back and look to see what the HP corrected was.

Car is getting there slowly. Don't feel like doing much when it's that cold even though garage is heated. Takes a while to get it warm though...


We hit a new one! Yesterday morning it was -26 here at the house! I'd love to hook up the weather station, but honestly I don't know if it would even work right now! Last winter was warmer and very mild. Not a lot of snow. We've already gotten a record snowfall in Anchorage for this time of year, so it looks like it's gonna be a good one! More snow on the way this coming weekend and week.....so glad I got a snow blower!!
