Item Subject: cc:Mail Text Dear Volks, It isn't how fast you can go that matters in snow country. It's how well you can stop. (Fast x Straight)= Well Brakes stop the wheels, tires stop the car. The 4WD and motor are out of the picture. Apparently Brad has special dispensation from his local deity regarding the laws of tribology and physics when motoring along a snowy road in traffic at 50MPH. Al ( Certified Winter Driver USAATC, USANWTC, Ft. Greely AK) In: 1/4T 3/4T 2 1/2 T 5T 5T tractor M116 M113 175mm SP 155mm How SP 105HP SP M89 M88 M60A1 AH1 (front seat) easy to drive in the snow. Been there done most of that, crashed my share. Very little is a soul satisfying as a 180 in an M60A1 on an icy road. Very little is as exciting as lighting up the tundra with a GE minigun at taxpayer expense all in the name of testing. |
