Never got it sorted out last year to really make a decent pass. I switched my trans over to liberty proshift for the last weekend and my starter took a sh!t

The best I had with not being able to shift was 99.98 mph don't remember ET. Going to auto cause I don't want to mess around with manual anymore, so we'll see how it goes this year

Ice is good for one thing, to keep my drinks cold

You guys may not like cold or ice, but I guarantee if you ever made it up or took a pass down the track, you'd be addicted

Daryl, you don't need ice for your drinks here, it just waters them down anyway.. You gotta put enough booze in them so your drink doesn't freeze

It gets pretty tore up by the end of the day, but then we flood it and has a week to freeze, then we have a brand new track

It was about a month when I initially posted lol

It was cold enough now we got a warm spell 18-26* every day and water is coming over the ice and making the ice very unsafe. We had around 3 feet of snow fall in the last week or so and it's putting alot of weight on the ice and causing water to come up. Early next week we are supposed to be back down to around 0* at night so it will help.

We were supposed to setup the track on sunday but the plow truck broke thru the ice last night so we called it off and are waiting another week
