BTR69Sounds 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.

RPROGASGood 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.

mopacltdHey, 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.

muggsWe 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.
