Default Winterfest

Big race at Speedworld this weekend, I wish everyone clean air and clean heats.

Love to hear some updates on Saturday if you aren't out barbecuing at the field.

Would really like to be there, were looking at -40+ wind chills today.

Just think Dave, if we figure in our wind chill it will be almost 100 degrees warmer there than it is here.. [X(]

Good luck to all..

Dave, and diggs, that's why my family moved from Stevens Point to Texas in 1972. It's 43 here now and that's to cold. [:'(]

My cousin still lives in Rapids and he'll ship it, cheese curds too! But we have Dos XX here and it's pretty good, and does the same job. Even though I'm in Houston, and grew up in Dallas, I'm a Packers fan.

Green Bottles are good.

Eric, did you or your family work for Consolidated Paper? Many people in that area did.

It's going to be really cold and probably hard to keep a grip on the ball. Hopefully Favre has a couple more games in him. GO PACK

Unfortunately, its not Consolidated anymore. First Stora, and now NewPage. There were several announcements for machine shut downs from them this week (Kimberly, Niagara,Wisconsin Rapids) Lotsof people will be losing their jobs. Its too bad, that was a great paper company.

39 in Houston is cold, can't wait to make it back down there. You guys put on a good race last time we were there You guys have great restaurants and food down there. I remember some pretty kickin' chili and brisquit, mmm....

I'm not as big on the crawfish as the BBQ, Chili, and Mexican food.

When the Champ race makes it way back to Houston, I will do my best to get there. Great field.
