OMG.....seriously 160HP. That's crazy power!!! So basically the trench you dig beside the other 143HP machine is a lil deeper when you put the power down? I sure wish my Phazer did that It just hooks up and launches. Just enough power to get a lil track spin.
160HP = racecar with 155/55R15
80HP = racecar with 275/55R15
That's all I got

Morning all...BRRRRR...

Yeah the trenches are deep if the snow is deep. My shoulders and back are feeling the strain I wish I had my Go-Pro with me, but only have a mount on my SnoX helmet. It was too cold to wear that one. It was a heated visor riding experience. I can't seem to get a pair of goggles that won't fog up.

Stay warm out there boys...

Out of 7 pairs I only have 2 (same make model) that don't. FXR's suck for fogging up. One thing you can try Sherm, worked for me to my surprise after seeing how high guys in SX wear thiers, is pull the strap higher on the back of the helmut. Seems to put more pressure on the bottom of the goggle and keep that bit of humidity out that'll ruin a ride in no time.

I have the 509 sinister goggles. They work well in the mountains where its -3 to -10 riding temps. Here I've only found the heated visor to be the answer when its -20 or worse. I'll try playing with the strap placement. You're right that it'll ruin a ride in seconds.

I've used goggles at all temps. Usually when I get a hint of fog I pull strap up and hold my hand on bottom of goggle when moving along for a min. Seems to set them firm against the face. Another thing I do is breath through my nose, feeding air through the little slit in the bellaclava (if I spelt that right ) I rarely have fogging issues in all temps as long as I don't wear those darn FXR ones with the big padding

I really wanted them Fords, #99 to get it but as long as they kept the Toyota's at bay I didn't care who won. #11 Denny is my fav driver, #18 would be my 2nd. Just don't like their rides tho. #99 is up there with Denny mind you but I was happy at the end of the day with the "fan Favorite" won it. Dale Jr. is coming out of his shell, and just may be a force to recon with in the very near future!!

Funny how that is, hope you gave it right back to him.
Get well soon.

You missed a great game, part way thru the game the Sweds were really sagging.

I don`t think I`ll ever get really used to this, looks like there`s at least another week of it to suffer through.

Wayyyyyy back in the day, we used to duct tape a cone on our bare nose under our goggles. I wore goggles over my glasses, and it seemed to work. Be carefull takin em off after a ride tho.

Seen as how the cold refuses to go, we are going to Vegas on Saturday. The wife has a seven day stretch off and she got in on a sale so of we go. According to the long range forecast it is supposed to be -38 on Saturday.

Good timing Colin, by the looks of the forecast it`s not about to get any better any time soon.

x3....enough of the cold!!

Takes a good woman to make a good man. If that's JR's case, we may have a new champion this season. Could you imagine Jr Nation if he won. Still a fan fav and he hasn't really shined in the sport for quite a few years. I'm all for it

Just cranked up the heat for ya Gerry.

The plus to the weather imo is even tho its -30 at the end of February, it doesn't feel like -30 in Dec/Jan Maybe because SPRING is right around the corner

And goooooood mornin everyone
