    can we run studded ice racing tires
    at TALADEGA if it snows?

    has that ever happened?
    a race call because of snow

    or do they have a big snow ball fight

    A late spring ice storm at Grattan caused a Sunday to be cancelled.

    "Ice" tires don't work in the snow. The weight of the MC just mashes the stuff down and the spikes get mangled on the asphalt.

    That 2-wheel drive R1 with knobbies should do the trick, though.... [​IMG]

    In February of 1996 I took riders school at Roebling in the snow. [​IMG]

    We've raced with the track wet and snow on the grass, we've also cancelled because of snow.

    That's what it was like for us. They did cancel the races Sunday after the first "sprint" race.
