SEMBC Ice Run

As I cruised down through the Halifax farms @ 6:30AM , watching the sun rise, glistennig ice droplets on the grassy fields, Georges red nose on my tail, and that shiny black look to the pavement that none of us like to see, I thought "Who's idea was this".
Well, six of us showed, six of us survived, and we had a fun day warming up the oil!
I have always thought that a sign that says "Road Closed", actually means "Road Closed", but each P-Car run I learn something new. What I learned yesterday is when someone says go ahead, that they should be the lead dog. I'm sure you guys were snickering as I headed out as the guinea pig! Thanks alot.
It was great seeing you guys! Happy New Year!
Paul

Dude, I would have gone first, but SOMEONE told me to just pull my snow tires off & put the summers on for the run...

Thanks again as always Paul!

I'm looking at this coming weekends' weather and thinking we may have the oportunity to do another drive. If there is some interest I will try to put together a new route. (not that I've heard anyone complaining ), I think roads that are actually open and "not Closed" might be a good idea. Maybe an early run down the coast on Sat. morning.
Dean, please head a little south and join us.
Paul

Dean, we are having too much fun. Come down and join us one of these weekends, it's a great group of guys and Paul usually finds some roads where we can crank it up to 11. Did you guys make it out to Laguna for the bike race this year?

Doing these runs on SO3s when the temperature is below freezing is making me nervous. If this keeps up I'm going to have to find some 6" wheels and buy a set of Hankook rally tires for the winter drives.

"Open" roads??? - we don't need no stinkin' "open" roads.

Thanks for the invite Paul!

I had a lot of fun. When I got home that day my car went right in the garage for it's first "Winter Project". I gotta repaint the rear quarters and some other parts too. I'll be ready again by April (I hope)!

Hey Jim -

We did make it back out to Monterey for MotoGP and Superbike. Had a great time again, and was fortunate enough to meet Casey Stoner and talk to him in the paddock, got a pic with him and an autograph. The racing was great, weather was great and I came back with some great photos.


I've been keeping an eye on this thread, and I will definitely start making it to some of the runs.
