    Thanks a bunch Ryan. I had a blast running with you. And you will see us this winter. We ARE GOING to get a handle on the rear suspension is the project of the summer. Then we will be able to keep up with you!  ;D

    Cool video Rick, right there is the only hard ice we had all winter  :o , hope to have some good ice next year. Finally got my sled out of the hole shot at the last race at Bevra . sucks spinning g out of the hole, but that's racing always tinkering trying to get them quicker, faster , and better handling. But that was a fun day and a great group of guys.

    That's what we have been doing all year, digging trenches on the line. I also put up the heat race of the 440 stock at Gladwin. If you missed it.
