I would love to come but I don't get off of school till the 17th of December then I have to drive up from SC. Do you think the event will be in the later part of December or maybe early January? I didn't get to go last year so I'm really looking forward to it. 

When's the latest you'll be around?  Ice thickness also comes into play when scheduling this event.  So if it all works out, we should be able to make it in January instead of early February.

I have to be back to school around the 12th of December I believe. It's a short break, only 4 weeks.

Im pretty sure you meant January.  I'll talk to the boys over at Sinissippi and see how the ice sheet is coming along.

So is this happening in December or January?

[YoungCR]

At least January, I has to freeze/build up and it's gonna be in the '50s at the end of this week.

[rampelsauce]

Usually we shoot for the beginning of February, but we're trying to make mid January work.

[TehRaydarlover]

Hopefully its late January early February. I'm on field service for a week or so starting January 5th.

[rampelsauce]

So I emailed the guys last week and they didn't get back to me .  I'm gonna give them a call and hopefully will have some solid info to post later today.

[Chadley]

I will be there in the dually again as long as the ice can handle 10,000 pounds of power Even if it cant I might just be there anyway

Oh my!!!

[The Full Banana]

Perfect!

My brother has a set of 15" compomotives with 135mm studded ice-racing tires from a rally-prepped subie... that he is running on his 92 Volvo 240 winter beater wagon. I should get him to come.
