Way to go Joe!!
I wasn't sure if leaving you guys eyeballing that shoot was a good idea. I had visions of the old 9 coming out of that icy shoot at around Mach 1. Thanks for the ride, that was a very fun morning.

Hahaha... thats too funny Scott!
I actually had myself talked out of it... but we didnt turn around and leave either. Finally said the heck with it and set up the video cam. One more dry run and up we went! The left side was hard and slick... so I went up the right side. All woulda been fine 'cept for the fact I couldnt lean 'er over at all to head up and to the right like I wanted! Power/traction were good... just not the LINE! Once I bounced it off a rock on the left wall... we were lined out. But after all that was actually a lil' higher than I wanted to be (power/traction was PRETTY GOOD!)
Shot her past the turn off, hooked down onto the bench from above.... it was FRIGGN' AWESOME!
Heres some more you may recognize...

See you boys up there.We're still here. That was quite a ride yesterday, had a blast!! I had the opportunity to watch a couple near misses off the Dollars, I didn't realize I could get such a blood pressure spike watching someone else.
Any body headed up the canyon these weekdays? March 9-11?
This weekend... whos going? Anyone? The riding is AWWWWWSOME!
Joe:
You'll have a sh**load of guys coming up from Reno to meet the Salt Lake City gang. They left today and will be there till Sunday. They should be staying at the Thunderbird Motel and they'll be chowing down at Biltoki every night after the Picon tasting.
Have fun.

THAT woulda' bee ONE FUN DAY!I'll be up Saturday morning Joe. You don't have a backup sled anymore? I'd offer "Old Yeller" for the day so you could get some video, but "Old Yeller" broke in two last weekend, literally. The bulkhead split just in front of the chaincase, and right behind the clutch while smoking through the moguls on the road, she's doneskie
Ok Scott... you win. My clutch doesnt compare to that...
I actually got to looking and I think I can swap my weights over. Could use some new rollers/weights, but they'll be alright 'til I get my rebuild back. I'll be up tomarrow to see how it works... otherwise, she was SCREAMIN' today... for the first 8 miles. My backup is down with another broke oil pump cable... somethin goin on there. Havent had a chance to dig into it further.
P.S. We'll have to chat... you have a motor and I have a chassis... hmmmmm
