Actually no tim. This damage was caused by dead battery and a nitrous backfire that happened while trying to jump start the sled. The battery I had in the sled at the time was almost new, it just died for some reason. Already have new larger battery but an expensive lesson...

The storm is definately threatening this race/getogether, at least at Tower. Tower Mtn is brutal when the weather is mildly bad and when severe can be impossible.

Might have to work this weekend......
Still looking forward to using the hella heavy Dragon as extra traction when the mighty XP rails up the hill like a billy goat on coke and acid
Side Note - Tower is creepy when the wind picks ups, those wind drifts up top can make any sled get stuck, and its fun getting unstuck when you cant see and all you hear is wind going in one ear and out the other......er, maybe thats just me??
Have fun guys

There is a thread over on Sledjunkie.com the says its cancelled and to call Rock's Cell. Whatever that means??? My group still plans on going to face the blizzard. I bet it will be real crappy though, but since we already got the Kitchen Passes from our wives it'll take more than bad weather to keep us home. We're gonna head up to the cabin tonight to beat the snow. I just hope we'll be able to see past our ski tips tomorrow.
It looking like its gonna be snowing sideways and blowing like a hurricane up there tomorrow. Ive even heard talk that the forrest service may close some trails because of the intensity of this storm. When weather is half this bad you cant see your boots at Tower. All the Mafia Boys have decided to seek shelter in the trees. I would go if the weather allows, but I dont think anyone is even going to show and if they did you probably couldnt find them. I dont know what to do....
