Whole lotta recognizable HAMB faces there. I think the key would be @loudpedal skids with some weight added to the front spreader to reduce "push" There was also an event in MN or Wisco this last weekend.
Yes, there's a similar event in Minnesota, just outside of Minneapolis. It however is on a frozen lake hosted by the Polar Devils. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CaLEBOcJVSx/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNrzAeg_AF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Pretty cool. We had some snow activities last weekend here in New Hampshire: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...ds-and-tucker-snowcats.1256812/#post-14393420
Looks like a blast, when teaching my kids to drive, snow filled parking lots were the best to teach control. not to mention a blast.
Hello, Where we lived in So Cal, it does not get snow, other than the one time in 1949. But, there is snow in So Cal at other locations near the mountain ranges and highways. Our escapades with our Flathead 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery was done in the rain and muddy fields near our houses and the oil fields in Wilmington, just off of the Terminal Island Freeway and PCH. Since it is/was mostly industrial and the huge oil refinery, as long as we did not go into the gates, no one bothered us. It was a short distance from our Westside of Long Beach house. After a rain or two, yes, it rains in So Cal… there was enough moisture to make the motorcycle racing track we made on the other side of the Terminal Island Freeway, right next to the exit of one of the big oil refinery compounds. No one came to tell us not to do it and it did not harm anyone or anything other than our 1940 Flathead powered Sedan Delivery. The large dirt field was next to a drainage culvert that went out to the ocean several miles away. We always had the place to ourselves. It was difficult to see from PCH going North to the South Bay, but if one was sharp eyed, the location could be spotted going South. The curve and elevation grade on PCH South, made everyone pay attention to driving and not the surroundings. The action of learning slides and have steering control was learned early. It was the controlled Flathead power that was the difficult thing to keep in place and still be able to steer in the intended direction. We also did not want to hit the curb next to the low chain link fence and tumble into the drainage channel that was filling up fast on its directed course to the ocean. Jnaki For some odd reason, someone was looking out for us as there was little, if any damage to the Flathead Sedan Delivery. Although, it certainly felt like we were doing our best to have fun and the brunt of the action centered on the mud covered Sedan Delivery from top to bottom. No ice or snow, but plenty of similar action during the rainy, muddy season in So Cal. The rain usually washed off plenty of mud, but, for the caked on stuff, the local power wash place was a two blocks from our old house. That place saw plenty of action. YRMV
