I was a hard decision to make but after a long conversation with SRX Magic we have agreed to move the Shoot-out date to Sunday Feb 19.
Last weeks warm weather and rain has wiped out the snow we had, so getting down to the lake would be better suited for an ATV. No measurable snow is in the forecast until possibly Saturday. Too far away to keep people hanging.
The ice still measures 12" thick and this weeks colder forecast will only help matters.
The cove at J & D Marina is "shaky at best" as that's where the source of water enters the reservoir. This week will help refreeze that major traffic area.
We want everyone to enjoy themselves but safety comes first.
There are a lot of guys that want to attend and drive 3-5 hours for the event.
The conditions need to be right.
Feel free to PM or ask questions about the 19th event.
We hope to have 2 lanes for racing.
One at least 4 sleds wide for 660', 1,000', 1,320'.
One 2,000' for top speed radar runs.
Records will be kept and posted on TY after the event.
Let's see what "you" have!!

Your welcome to come up this Sunday, but the main event will be the 19th.
Conditions should be decent. The weather man keeps changing his story and it keeps getting better.
I think I gave you directions but PM me if you need further assitance.
