There certainly isn't any "lack of interest" up here. We have uncovered our
ice racer and are preparing for yet another 7 weekend season on the
slippery stuff!
Are there any ice racers out there with some rubber to ice tips? We took a
shopping trip to the tire dealer today and now are debating whether to try
the new Dunlop, or Yokohama, or the new Toyo (with walnuts)Currently we use
the Blizzacks (tractionized, of course) which did bring us in second in the
points.
And by the by, those of you who have expressed an interest in coming up for
a weekend - the offer is still open. Season opens the weekend after New
Year's.
Best regards to all - see, now you can add yet another repsondent to your
list Mark.
