Go RACING! This is where you warm blooded southern types miss out on a good ol' demolition derby race on ice.

da-burb · 02-23-2003, 11:25 PM

this is a VW wabbit going POOF!

da-burb · 02-23-2003, 11:26 PM

close race

da-burb · 02-23-2003, 11:28 PM

Crank · 02-23-2003, 11:29 PM

Looks like fun. A little cold weather never killed anyone ...that I know.

**Canadian694x4** · 02-24-2003, 02:05 AM

So you think the southern boys are missing out on winter demolition sports----you might want to visit the interstate in Dallas when they have their first winter freeze---they do you one better as they host their demolition derby on their interstates with much newer vehicles!!!

dat · 02-24-2003, 03:28 PM

hehe! Great shots but what lake you are on and where to I get an entry form????

I have an old Celebrity that I think would do very well in that race! Not quite as good a shape as the Escort though... No exhaust either so it might wake up the fish under there.

da-burb · 02-24-2003, 06:22 PM

This is the only other pic I have of Bob's truck. He was out there having fun while the other cars were having a temporary break-down. He did help pull a few cars back into the race track when they went flying over the 3 foot snow bank.

dat- no entry blanks, just a bunch of neighbors getting together for a little Sunday afternoon fun. I will be looking for a winter beater or 2 for next year. As it is now, they figure there will be 3 more weeks of racing before they start to think of turning it into a muddin' hole

.

And I forgot all the fun in watching Texas ice driving. We just don't get to see enough TV coverage of that one.

Theres plenty of news coverage today. I have lived in Dallas all my life and these people really freak out over a little ice. Not much practice I guess.
