Way back in the day when I used to ice race motorcycles,we had one race just a little south east of Grand Prairie. Can’t remember the town, small town. But it was -47 Celsius without the wind and my bike was geared for 162 kph at WOT. My black winter leathers would go white after the third lap. I can’t remember what the windchill was at that speed? But I do know it was cold, getting through my suit after the sixth lap.

We had a cold day similar to that at Whitecourt back when I raced. They ended up calling the race because of visibility issues with the snow dust. Guys were crashing ( including me) because we had no visibility in the corners. The snow dust just hung in the air as there was no wind. Brutal conditions. I ended up in the crowd with my twin tracker. Came into the corner probably close to 100mph and couldn’t see nothing with sleds around me. Guessed wrong and all of a sudden went from no visibility to good visibility. All I saw was people running away from me. I hit the bank and flipped into the spectator area. I still remember a couple guys drinking beers saying cool crash man. I threw my goggles at them and walked away. Had a lot of bruises after that wreck.

I could see how flat tracking snowmobile‘s would be way worse, with the snow dust hanging in the air. It was bad enough with motorcycles only but in my second last year of ice racing is when they allowed quads to race with bikes and when you’re trying to past two quads in front of you the snow dust is quite bad as well. But probably not compared to what a sled does . Yeah, throwing goggles at those guys drinking beers and cool crash would’ve been this least I would’ve done, freaking jerks.

Hello. Eye appointments are done and all is as good as can be with my eyes.

 

[ferniesnow]

Left eye isn’t as good as the right eye because of some scar tissue from a piece of metal that was in my eye back when I was teaching shop class.
But vision is great and just need a good pair of reading glasses now.
