Actually, I will be there, George. You know me...cold beer, cold air, cold ice. Actually, we're having fun getting our butts kicked by Guy, Eric and Kane. This ice racing is a whole different animal.

So, for those of you cheeseheads out there that are sick of the IROC, oops, I mean Car of Tomorrow racing, I guarantee a good time at Rusty's.

How many flats? Heck, all of them. But I think that's because of Mikey's "winter" poundage the mower's carrying. I've "slimed" the tires I don't know how many times, but just can't keep air in them. How can a guy screw up Slime??

I don't know what you are runnin for air pressure , you can't run what you normally would run during regular racing season. I'm runnin around 10- 12 lbs in my huffy w/slime in all 4. I haven't had a flat . :woo:
 oh yeah, if you and mike are goin for sure, think I can hitch a ride?thats if I have my lawnmower ready.

Way to go, Lon. Hope you kicked Kane's butt (someone has to). And, glad you got the belt problem cured.

And Ty, I, too was hoping they would have cancelled because of weather, but I guess you don't cancel an ice race because of ice :lol:.

Hey Bert, The one time you don't show up my motor runs just fine. I pulled the bowls off and was missing a spring under one of the tubes. The only reason Lon won is I couldn't get enough traction on the 3'' of snow covering the ice. But I won the heat anyways.
