My weekend

Got the Cobra loaded up on an open trailer and hauled it home Saturday. Roads were good and not even a little bit of road grime on it. The F-150 hauled it great, hardly felt the load. Just used 3rd at about 85 to 90 and no problem. In fact I used maybe an 1/8 of a tank of gas more by towing!

Did some sledding too, good riding conditions, did a poker derby and some trail riding around the farm.

It was good, thanks. Wish I had a good pic of the truck hooked to the car, but the only one I have is with my ugly mug in it!

Did you not want to go any faster with the car on the back or why did you pull the trailer at 85-90?

Looks like you had a good weekend!!! I can't believe I haven't done any sledding this year so far! Left my sled up where I store it by Saskatoon and never brought it down here this year!

I haven't gone sledding in a couple of weeks, and I missed the Rouleau one last weekend. Looks like you got some nice snow out your way.

looks/sounds like a fun weekend you had!! i haven't been sledding but once this winter either... it don't get me riled up as much as it used to when there's not near as much snow as their used to be. the quad goes almost as many places as a sled can...until you break through

Good to hear the Cobra is nicely put away, hopefully spring is coming soon and you`ll have out again. Maybe you`ll bring it to the Draggins this month Collin......

Just might!!!

I was thinking today if there is still a lot of snow around I would just take the sled, But that would be a little unfair!!

Speed limit for the trailer was only 45 mph so I wanted to keep it closer to that. I think that was fast enough anyway for pulling a car, anymore and it would have cost me twice as much in gas too.

I wish I could drive it more but I don't think I will get too and unfortunately I won't be able to make it to the draggins. I would really like too, it is a good time.
