We should be getting about a foot overnight tonight. Unless it warms up a bit and it comes down as freezing rain.
I need to get some new tires for the Cobra. Had about a third of the tread peel off the BFGs. Not at all unexpected since they are getting old and have been past the 117mph speed rating a time or two, or three, or...
My cousin invited dad and me and some of his friends to go racing karts this past October. It was pretty fun. They are a shifter cart chassis with a 4 stroke Honda engine and they topped out about 50mph. 16 of us altogether with up to ten at a time with transponders and electronic timing for qualifying and the races. Unfortunately three of the guys race karts all over Wisconsin (one of them had the number two best time overall at this track in these karts) so I ended up fourth in the A main. I wasn't too disappointed, I could have had third if I wanted to race dirty but Jay raced me clean in all the qualifiers and heats. Overall my lap times were .1 second off the top racers average and that was my first time at that track and those karts. it was quite a workout. After the qualifying session (done like the old style F1 races with the best time over a period of time, not a set number of laps) I could hardly get the helmet off my hands were cramping up so bad.
If Em has a snow day tomorrow Jenny will get a pic of her and we can post it. Otherwise I'll get it on the weekend.
Here is a few from last winter.
