[snoxracer183]

I'm coming, and not taking a nap before hand!

[05Saab]

Well, that was a blast....thanks Dizmm for letting me take your car for a spin, it was really fun.

[mrslysly]

Awesome night! The jeep found a few snow banks to get the 4 wheels off the ground. Loved the rides.

[TomKat]

Good times. Good turnout. Fun course.

The drag racing was fun too.

[Dizmm]

that was loads of fun. just got done pushing 50lbs of snow out of my garage.

also great turnout. was good to see even a few marshfield'ers make it out!

[VPT]

Fun times! Not as fun as mcdill years ago when we would race wheel to wheel around the oval.

[krazyk]

yeah that was alot of fun especialy the snowbanks and christmas trees thanks noah haha

[Wolf///M3]

Had a blast thanks dizzm for letting me drive and thanks Tom for the ride can't wait for the next one

[Extremedsm]

Need tires!!!

[Slowboy]

Thanks for the ride Tom. It was fun.

[mrslysly]

The jeep is a tough beast. ITs got a really beefy skid plate up front to protect the steering linkage. Yep, managed to bend that so the center link bolt catches a reinforcement rib and makes a popping noise. Hope the hammer is upto the job.

Nice driving out there JJ in dizzms car. Those were some sweet runs. Im tempted to get some of those winter tires dizzm has for the jeep.

Would love to do that again! Only this time have all 4 working doors and sun visors that don't fall off...

[devlish]

sorry i missed it. sounds like a blast!

VPT... I agree, cannot beat McDill and the wheel to wheel racing, the safari swirl, the offroad courses, the people on hoods, skitching contests... it's just not like it used to be!! but it is usually still a good time.

[Dizmm]

TK, Snowracer, and I were out there wheel to wheel after everyone left.

[TomKat]

TK, Snowracer, and I were out there wheel to wheel after everyone left.

Yeah, but there was no Safari Swirl. Sigh.

[05Saab]

Yeah, but there was no Safari Swirl. Sigh.

Safari Swirl? Please inform....haha

[devlish]

^ most amazing move ever. packing anywhere from 8-12 people in the car, and basically "whipping shitties" on the ice. if i'm not mistaken, jackie eckes holds the record still. TK will have to confirm the body count and the rotation count as well.

[Dizmm]

I wonder when we'll see one of these show up to an ice event.

holy studs on 2 foot wide tires haha

I believe the count was 8 360 degree turns.

I can't explain the physics of the Safari Swirl, but this is what would happen. Rounding turn 2 on the ice oval with a little too much speed an oversteer situation was induced. Once the car was 180 degrees off of it's intended direction reverse was engaged catpulting the car forward down the track spinning 360 degree turns all the way down the straight.

I've never been able to duplicate this move in any car other than the Pakistan Safari wagon. That car rocked. Best seat in the house was the way back during a Safari Swirl.

great explanation. yes, that car seemed to have the right about of weight in all the right areas to allow it to continually spin!!!

do you remember the body count??

[TomKat]

do you remember the body count??

I remember taking the Pakistan Safari wagon to TT once. One car pulls up to TJ's and fills up half the restaurant. 12 people.

[BLAQK]

i've got to go to the next event, i'm having withdrawls

[mrslysly]

Who's land was the rallies on last fall? Wonder if that would make a good snow rally??

[northsydryd]

in wittenberg? that would be mattewhiggins estate

[mrslysly]

Would mattewhiggins let us know if that course would work for a snow rally?

[05Saab]

Would mattewhiggins let us know if that course would work for a snow rally?

They did it back in December....but he isn't in the state right now, so this might be hard to do haha
