  1. Cale use to make engine noises inside the race car. When they started onboard cameras it really confused the broadcast crew thinking they had a technical problem until they found out it was actually Cale making the noises. Great competitor https://www.nascar.com/videos/franchise/nascar75/nascar-75-cale-yarborough-untold-stories/
  2. Couple drinks and some depressed snowmobile owners is a bad combination along with looking at your pics. Time for the next shoot of Old Smokey salted caramel whiskey. This is what I found.
  3. SSFB. What trail permits do you need and do you need to register the sled out there. We'd be coming from Wisconsin if things don't turn around soon.

  5. But he does have a brother-in-law with an 850. So either his brother-in-law is on a Ski-Doo or on a Polaris and won't ride with Jimmy.
  6. The Wisconsin Military ride has been changed to Monday February 12th. It will be following the Vintage world championship in Eagle River
  7. The heated shield plug is about a 15 minute job. There's a step by step post in the Polaris forum.
  8. Some of us help out with the Military ride out of Eagle River Wi. The ride is supposed to be the Monday January 15th after the Vintage races that were 11-14. They've now pushed the Vintage races to February 8-11 and evaluating what to do with the Military ride.
  9. Was that there or Texas where the speeds were so high that they started to passout and called the race.
  10. When we converted to V5 from V4 Boeing was referenced a lot. Still laugh as the instructor said it's developed by Desault a French company so they do so things backwards.
  11. Been working on Cad systems since they had light pens. My choice would be Catia V5 for no better reason than I worked with it the longest and most formilure. At work it was integrated with Smarteam for data management.
  12. This weather continues on the snowmobile budget may be tapped for a flight ticket, and sled rental out West. Wife's telling friends I'm getting real crabby.
  13. Worked a little with Solidworks and their all fairly simular. Pro-E is key stroke intense like Autocad so don't like them. Solidworks is a little out of a retired guys budget.
  14. Looking to model up a roller for the trails with a 3 point hitch. A vendor I use to work with would let me come in to design it on their system. Just want to have the convenience of doing at home.
  15. Painful start to the 2024 riding season but I'm sure it will come around. Hearing some guys looking at Road trips out West to get some riding it. @Mag6240think you have the most riding in so far this year. Don't think I can count loading mine into the trailer.
  16. I'm looking at Sketch up and Blender. Thanks let me know his comments.
  17. Yes. The government required some of the old model packages to be in Pro-E. Before I retired we used primarily Catia including tooling where I was involved. One of the trucks we made was in native Pro-E so needed to learn Pro-E. Not a fan of it.
  18. I have access to 3D modeling (Catia V5 and Pro-E) for projects but looking for software at home. Anybody using 3D software home?
  19. Yes to a point we didn't hear of any real internal changes to us that he was trying to implement. We're going to put a new TV in the trailer and set it up to stream the races so we'll be watching the races again. Our boss also requested to the dig boss that Little Hitler does not attend any of our races. We'll see how this year goes.
  20. This winter has sucked so far. Got my race schedule for this year. May Kansas, St Louis, Iowa, Chicago, Milwaukee (ARCA, Truck) and Sept Kansas. Alternate for Indy and Michigan.
  21. Feeling the same. Our local club bought a quadtrac to groom with this year as we are primarily in an agricultural area and select rent them out in off season for income. Here we were using it to help tile a field and I was getting some time driving it.
