Only 28 days...

Only 28 days until the first 2 day BIR S/SS COMBO.
We have 8 inches of fresh snow on the ground and it is still coming down.
I hope the race will happen. I need to smell some race gas and burnt rubber!

THINK SPRING BABY!!!!!!

Glen
We race at Brainerd International Raceway (as in Brain and nerd) in Minnesnowta (pardon the lame play on misspelling) in the land of 10,000 frozen lakes. It is currently below freezing with 6 to 12 inches of snow on the ground. I am wondering how deep the frost is under the BIR dragstrip,
and what track temp one should expect @ 9 AM in 3 to 4 weeks? Never much concern with the SS/PA 55 chev but most others may have traction issues. BTW what is the name of that dragstrip in VIRGINIA as in "Virginia Is For Lovers" where the temps are in the 70's and 80's and the sun has been sighted?
See you @BIR

Glen just in case do you still have a snowmobile? If so you may need that. All this has to go away sometime right?

Three weeks from tomorrow is BIR 's opener / test and tune. Today's 8 inches of snow makes snowmobile drag racing seem a little bit more likely.
