Great image showing well the skill it takes in trying to keep these cars under control during extremely difficult weather conditions! Congratulations on your win today!

Thank you Linn, the hardest part was the -25 degree temps! LOL

You can see that they are going at quite a speed as the snow is flying in the air in the BG...a great action capture, Gord. The curvy tracks on the Track are fascinating as well. I see the studs too...we used to have them in our area year ago:)

Thank you Tom and Pat, when going down the straight away they reach speeds up to 120 KLM per hour! Yahoo it is a great ride!
