I think it would neat to get 5 Marauders on ice:banana:


Any other takers or do I need :help:

I think we need a "professional" photographer, since my Canon is really struggling with the black cars and white background.

Can't make it this weekend, too much going on. Is that picture this year or from last year? How think is the ice?

[ckadiddle]

I don't care how thick the ice supposedly is.....I'm askeered to drive on top of a lake. :)

[crouse]

I think 12"-14" of ice is enough to support a car of our weight.

Put your studded tires on guys! You should be able to have a race, My money is on Dando and the trilogy under the hood. It would be just like drifting at Barrett Jackson. Sounds like a lot of fun to me.

i could be up but i only have the squad wheels on and i do know a guy from another board who takes great pictures and is going to school for it but i dont think i want to drive on the lakes in the cities

I will see if I can get an ice auger so we can get an ice thickness and verify we will be safe.

Sounds like great fun. How many inches of ice will we need for 5 -7 MM's all sitting together?

The picture was in/on Gray's Bay in Minnetonka. I will find an ice auger and get the ice depth.

Looking like this weekend is a bust, but lets keep this idea in mind.
