  1. Not really a summer vacation guy. We usually get up Nth every other week and doing one race a month takes up most of the time. Our Snowmobile Alliance President took a snowmobile trip to Iceland this past April that's got my interest.
  2. Yup. And adult beverages.
  3. Romantic night with the wife
  4. 👍 Angel park is a tight track if you haven't been there. Outagamie (Seymour Wisconsin) runs on Friday night that's a wide 1/3 mile track. Normally gets dry slick so they don't wreck much. Hit up Fastsledder (Jim) if you want some insight on some of these tracks.
  5. That would be one track that would recommend. Beaver Dam raceway runs on Tuesday night. I think the mods are unsanctioned.
  6. Sure is a kick in tha ass for the guys that sold their sleds and ordered a Catalyst.
  7. What tracks in Wisconsin?
  8. How's that gaining market share doing for the Catalyst?
  9. I'll take the prejudice flag here but if it's not V-8 GM or Ford it's in an Uber class.
  10. Austin Hill would be good also. Don't take any shit. Can't remember but who did he deck last year. Relaxing up Nth with the neighborhood pets.
  11. Agree Kyle's 3rd win in his first year with the team. Richard needs to swallow his pride and look at performance. Let Austin do reality shows and rodeos. Lajoie didn't have a good showing for Hendrick but seems to have the talent. Put him in the car. Austin's performance has diluted the significance of the #3. Not a bad guy just don't have the talent needed.
  12. I think Richard's family pride is in the way of good judgment with Austin as far as driving talent. Prior to entering Xfinity or Cup Richard brought on Dale McDowell on the dirt latemodel side. He coached both Austin and Tye in dirt latemodels to help them learn car control. Now you look at Kyle Busch in the RCR car compared to Austin. A noticeable difference. Just don't seem either of Richard's grandkids as top tier drivers. Sorry

  14. Guy missed a corner and barrel rolled the Trans Am with no insurance. Bought the car cheap from him pulled the motor and trans which were basically the only good parts on the car. Put the motor in my Cutlass and sold the transmission for what I bought the car for.
  15. Back in 1993 a couple of us organized a bus trip to Yellowstone. One pic is me starting to go up hill on an adrenaline rush before the incline got steeper. The other pic is me scared shitless after realizing how steep it actually was.
  16. Here's my old black 1971 W-30. The one pic is with a 1972 H/O hardtop. The other has a 1972 H/O Convertible, 1972 H/O Hardtop, 1970 442, my car and a 1970 W30.
  17. Here's my 1980 cutlass after I put the 403 in it. Cousin did a couple diesel to gas swaps. Cheap cars if you bought them right.
  18. Friend's parents had a 1973 olds 98 2 door. The doors were longer than some modern day cars. Had a 1980 Cutlass supreme fully loaded including T-tops. The car had a 260 2 barrel V-8 that could hardly get up a driveway approach. Surprised it had the TH350 transmission and not a metric 200. Swapped the motor out with a 403 from a Trans AM. Better but nothing to write home about.
