I love those new sleds but tuning, effort involved, and 130K+ price tag all keep me on the sidelines. The billet chisels are so cool, combined with the long track and chassis of today the traction on hard pack is incredible. I recently committed to a small house on Lk. Gogebic so I might build a full "lake sled" with Jason Price sometime in the near future if things go right but it won't be anywhere close to 1200 hp like Craigs latest missile-closer to 500 which is still absolutely crazy. This is 10 year old technology now and we thought they would never go faster back then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLaRhJebH8Q
You are dead on about the company I was with while in WI and next year we will be going around that track "like kids on go-karts" with a couple of my vintage projects. You are welcomed to join us if you are free and or have the desire (its a 45 min. ride to Appleton and we will pick you up).

You do not want to stand behind those starting line backer boards. A wayward pick flying off the track is a bad situation.
My nephew is a machinist at a beautiful CNC shop here in town. They worked on the development of a Big Turbo Cat recently. The horsepower coming out of that motor was hard to believe. These things are so quick the run is over in the blink of an eye.
I remember those big Mercury Sleds at the dealership in our neighborhood. I think the Red Wheel Horse's used the same hood.

Yea , it's so much worse than that .. please just stay in Minnesota .
I understand there is a "red brick BBQ" kind of smell up there .. 24 /7 ..
I'd want to stay there .. 1 vote for Trump = 3 for Biden .. what could go wrong
And ohh gee golly , we got some bugs hey !
Just go to the nearest bridge with a light facing the humidity (water) on an incoming tide. Set a net in the humidity.. keep checking .. it can get to the point where it's too heavy to lift ...
I couldn't finish tonight's appetizer ..

Please tell us about these critters and bugs?
What critters and what bugs ?
One spring I went to see Bill Gore in Antioch Illinois I was swarmed by all the bugs,
I asked about all the lily pads on the water since it was only spring, I guess that's how Jesus' walked on water...
Many times at boat races in places like Alabama we were Happy to get back to Fl. where we have air movement and cooler
temps, going in the water at a race in Bama Glenn Reynolds said it was 112 and no wind... at all, I never saw so
many generators and big shop fans brought in by the local spectators, we had to stop the race at one point because both the
Ambulance's were taking people to the hospital for heat stroke, then wearing the helmet and safety life jacket just added insult
to injury, I remember thinking I'm doing this for FUN?
Yes we do have humidity but I rather have it then living without any like out west, constant shock, I always wondered why
they tell you to fill gas cans on the ground I found out on a trip out west.We have invented the world; WE see

Splain the reason to fill the gas cans on the ground, always thought the pump nozzle had to make contact with the rim of the can to prevent static electricity??

I don't remember ever having a gas can as in steel can, I remember my dad having one,
I do have three 500 gal steel cans but I can't pick them up yes they make contact with the ground.
I do remember my mother telling me she bought wool carpet because it was less prone to develop static electricity, I only
remember that happening in the winter time in NY.We have invented the world; WE see

They run from the cold water to the shallow grass flat's . As a kid living in Dade county , the south west side of Card Sound bridge was a haven for shrimp and lobster.
I've got a few spots up here , but being just south of the "frost line" they are transient thru our back waters. Temp, moon and tide still play a big part in when they are open for buiz.
Fish taco's for dinner last night ...
Crab dip , for my mid-mornin snack ...
Chaz = considerin how much of Mini-soda and Wis-can-senn that burned to the ground last summer ... them yankees need to just stay away from gas .. just sayin
