Just returned from preparing the RX course in Bancroft. Conditions are amazing. Photos to follow.

The course had not been touched since Tall Pines, so there was about 30 cm of snow. I was making it through fine until I got into a deep drift at the far end. I dug my way out, but only made about one length of the truck before I got high centred again, so I called my buddies at the Town of Bancroft and four trucks showed up within five minutes.

Once I got out, I drove the course about a dozen times to clear it. We will drive it a bunch more times on Sunday AM before competition starts.

The course is mostly quite smooth with a few icy spots. It will be like the day a year ago when the coditions kept changing all day as the cars cleared off the snow.

2" x 20ft recovery strap... max vehicle weight 9,000lbs... $24.99 (reg $36). (pretty sure this is the strap I normally use... although it might be the 3" x 20ft strap... 13,500lbs)... they are great straps, but you need to pick up heavy duty clevis' and hooks to go along with it.

6" x 30ft recovery strap... max vehicle 27,000lbs!!!!! $89.99.... not meant for little cars. Wink

Compared to last year Ross, can we see the course looking more like a snowy road this year rather than a "track" with severe ruts? In other words will either the bucket or a plow be "flattening" the course out? Last year if we went out of the ruts at all we were stuck. If the course is flat we can use the road width properly.

Oh just get some AWD Tongue

Mind you, it would be nice not having to add an extra hour to the day while waiting to pull people out of the snowbanks Roll Eyes
