Very nice, Thanks for sharing. Still I am wanting spring or at least some sun. Raining and blowing 40 here today.

Ice track from 1-17-2011 weekend
2 miles even, and it took Lobster 8 minutes and 6 seconds to navigate round it
1-30-2011 track
2-7-2011 track-
I blasted out a new track last Saturday (about 1.5miles) and granted my truck has a 9 foot blade, it took some serious time and fuel to build a track. The snow is getting heavy and we're supposed to get another 2-4 on Friday night.
2-13-2011the Jeep, I've been pushing snow with that thing for 8 years now, anything from an inch to 3+ foot drifts. When it gets deep, you need chains.
I know where your coming from with wear and tear and fuel. I've drained the tank more than one morning building tracks. Not to mention to 3-5hours needed building a new track each weekend, especially when it gets deep or crusty. All that boils down to why this year I decided it was time to just give the plow guy some money and I'll run laps instead.
Little welding in the shop and the Jeep plow is back up....
The track look's to be FAST and FUN.
But hard to tell for sure in a truck!
It started out dicey due to visibility, but ended up being a good day, though with a lot of traffic.
Every time Jim takes pictures (and they're good pictures!)
it becomes more evident how much of a camera whore Ben is
I should sell advertising space on the bottom of the engine case
I might have up upgrade Brownsvillian to Ben 2.0 for his LookAtHowICanRide antics
Seein those guys with the MF44's.....maybe it's best not to get them.
Sure seems like they need to stretch out a lot more to get flexible enough to put bars on the ground
I'm pretty sure I looked like that too... you know, right before I crashed.
I hate that corner. I hope it melts... MELTS!
Hey Jim-
Got any pictures of Cory two seconds later?
Um, I didn't fall once yesterday
The XR is studded up and ready to rock!:super
I hope the track was decent for everyone, because that's probably what we're going to be using for quite some time.
As far as noise, you saw the fancy banner we had made up. The idea was not to turn anyone away, but to show anyone on shore that we are addressing the issue on our own. It was supposed to be placed right by the access point on shore so the property owners could see it too. But we didn't have access at Clarence's for that.
As far as sound testing. I used 2 different meters and got some numbers. I also checked a few bikes at the owners request in the parking area. Not optimal, but you'd get an idea at least. On the edge of the track near the entrance road I was getting most bikes right in the mid-90's There were a couple standouts of course, and I hope you guys address it to the best of your ability. Riding style and where full throttle was applied in the corner affected the readings. Peak was 106.5 Dba for all bikes. I'll try to bring the meter and tach every time I go out. I'm also going to find a copy of the MIC book that has the correct test RPM.
Not sure how it's going to affect riding at Pete's but sturgeon spearing starts the 12th and we have one of the only plowed roads on the south shore.
A reminder....
Leave the LOUD bikes home! We put a lot of effort into this track and want to keep the local lake dwellers happy! We are shootin' for 96 db or less....
98... Repack? 102 go home....
Thanks
