Snow at NHMS?


Yes there is with ice underneath. Took a couple pics yesterday at the track. Not great, but you'll get the idea.
The folks seemed to be working pretty hard to clean the stuff up. Lets hope for a lot of sun, heat and NOMORE SNOW!
Us poor "pit" folks are gonna be bumming in the mud fest. That's if it melts...

NHMS April 3rd

Re: Snow at NHMS?


wouldn't they be better off leaving the snow on the track so it'll all melt and not have snow banks slowly melting thru June? I'm glad I held off paying for Penguin school til the week of.

Re: Snow at NHMS?


That is a LOT of snow given the fact that the track has ZERO shade and acts like a big sun collector.

not going to happen, unless you find someone who is already renting a garage for the season looking to rent a spot for a weekend, which does happen, just have to keep an eye on the near list

We may have space available random weekends, talk to Wookie or Mongoose, I just hand my check to them and let them deal with the rest.

To those of you who talked about it being out in the open. White REFLECTS sun light. The top layer melts a bit and then insulates the rest below it. They are better off moving it around and exposing the lower layers that are aleady slushy.

This is nothing... the track will be ready in plenty of time.

A little rain, coupled with steady temps in the 45 plus range, and the only snow you'll see will be where they piled it up... out of the way.

And I certainly remember snow past April at the track. One race weekend I woke up and had to shovel it off the top of my motorhome so we could stand up there and watch the races... which went off as scheduled later that day.



The only thing that would stop the LRRS race weekend or our trackdays would be a big snowstorm the last week of April. Barring that, the track will have it clear.

And the money required to do that would just make our gate fees $100 instead (=

what they should do is have sled track days during the winter so they can make more money and lower the gate fees.
