Wow, and I am worried about sinking a boat! Could be more a little more embarrasing to sink a car! That's awesome, Ralph
Looked like a couple of Max Wedge cars in there too. Brave souls!

The motors are loving the cold air and fuel!!!  Where do you get tires like those?

Studded tires, pretty much the norm in the Northeast, from NY to Maine.

I have used studded tires, they had a .25" steel stud embedded in the tire every inch or so.  Look at :07, the tires look like a porcupine...

Different studs, lol, they use the ones used on the old Ice Track motorcycle races. Dunno if anyone ever saw those. Real old school stuff. Look like nails!!

Exactly what I was looking at, lol Looked like a lake race, which means to me, someone eventually might get wet, lmao

Maybe that was part of the challenge? But that was a new one I'd never seen b4.
