SNO*DAWGZ
Cadillac February 14th, 15th, 16th
This week on 2/13/03 the Dawgz got together and added a new member. At HeadQuarters we initiated New Dawg "Rad Brad" Williams. His official SNO*DAWG name will be Gadget Dawg. Gadget Dawg will be our Club Photographer and will assist in Major Trip and Event planning. Welcome aboard Brad! Brad will be a major asset to the club, he has many good ideas, but more importantly, seems to have some skills in the chick department!

The Cadillac trip:

On Friday night the group was a bit seperated. Bob, Angus & Jeff were in Cadillac, while Fish, Archie, Kevin & Brad stayed in Sugar springs for the night. While the Sugar springs boys downed a few brewski's the Cadillac dawgz went out for a ride and blew up a Ski-doo. This put a damper on Jeff's weekend.

Saturday the Dawgz got together and made a run around Cadillac over to Manistee. On the way back a bit of a freak problem occured with Big-Dawg Bob's sled (Polaris). He hit the brakes hard on a icy road and the chain broke through the housing. we were able to tow him back to the Bar in Manistee. Jeff & and Archie offered to stay there while we went back to get the Truck and Trailer. When Bob & Angus returned to pick up the sleds they mentioned that Jeff and Arch seemed a bit different. they had big smiles on their faces, and spoke with more of a southern draw, and mumbled somthing about the Daytona 500 a few dozen times. "They seemed a bit liquored up" said Angus.

Sunday we (Fish, Kev, Arch, Angus, & Gadget) cruised into Cadillac and rode the Lakes both Mitchell and Cadillac. This gave us an opportunity to Run the sleds and see who had what.

There seems to be a bit of a discrepency but a non biased source (Angus on a Yamaha) said the Firecats smoked the Polaris 800's. One an XCR triple and the other a XC twin.

I sum it up like this.  The Firecats were hooking up out of the hole better which is a bit strange cause niether is studded but must be because of the deep lug track (both Polaris 800's were studded). After about a 1/4 mile the Poo-laris seem to be catching up and if we continued across the lake would have probably caught and passed the Firecats.  The conditions were a bit bumpy on the Lake so we didn't really keep em pinned for more than a 1/2 mile.

I better mention that when we were out on the Lake there was some wrench turning on Brads XCR. Seems all the bolts mounting his new M-10 were coming lose. (Polaris problem #2)

CONGRATULATIONS TEAM ARCTIC!
Brads XCR 800 "technical difficulties"
On the way back from the Lakes The Magpie (Archie's sled but driven by Brad on this occassion) engine light came on. (Polaris problem # 3) "It was probably just operator error" insists Archie, "but I will have it looked at before Wawa".    
All in all a good weekend with about 170 miles worth of fun!

Catch ya later!
