thanks for the quick reply. the bravo long track will be no match for the deep snow

had it out a little while ago and this sled is great at breaking snow in the deep stuff. just hope the new hot rodders don't follow me as my little girl don't go that fast. slow and steady and on top!

I think it was 9lbs plus. Conditions were horrifiic. Unbelievable amount of water and slush! But, those diehards still seemed to have a good time. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PUT FORTH THE EFFORT TO COME TO THE DERBY AND SUPPORT THE TUPPER LAKE ROD & GUN CLUB. It is very appreciated!

WOW

!!!! Did anybody bring thier swim trunks?

Hardwaternubie53 · « **Reply #54 on:** Nov 14, 2011, 09:37 AM »

I left my swim suit home. Wish I took it!

The ATV was in the shop and I was !@$#^% off about that, until I got there. My quad has tracks on it. It would have been a terrible mess, throwing water everywhere. I would have really gotten a lot of people mad if I had used it, giving everybody a shower. And the trip home would have been a lot worse than it was, pulling a trailer. Just as we were leaving, it started snowing. By the time I got to I-87, conditions were horrible. It normally takes me 2.5 hours one way. In the storm, it took me 5 hours to get home. Yet, CAN"T WAIT for this year!

Anybody know if they have announced the date for the 2012 Challenge??? Those conditions were extreme...it couldn't possibly happen that way again!!! (Famous last words)

Hardwaternubie53 · « **Reply #56 on:** Nov 15, 2011, 09:14 AM »

I don't know for certain, but if they stay true to form, it should be Feb. 4, first Sat. in Feb., as they have for the past many years.

matthewwood25 · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 19, 2011, 11:39 PM »
