    Last hopes. Hillcross!

    I successfully tore my motor down, inspected it, and re-assembled. It is running well and the coolant system should be burped out nicely. I called Grandpa Sipple this evening and plan on running out there in the morning to test the sled out. I have no idea how much snow is going to be out on the farm... but I have to get the motor hot and make sure it is no longer sucking coolant. In my dreams right? Time will tell the tale.

    If all goes well, I am hoping to hit the ski hills on Saturday and try my luck in WSA Hill-Cross. I am very excited to race, and my hopes are probably already too high that I will attend. Registration deadline is 2pm tomorrow (Thursday). I hope to be registered for the Sport 800 class. My options are pretty limited since I have studs... which are untraditional to the Hill-Cross sport. Hill-Cross is a neat addition to my repertoire, because it extends the season! Instead of ending early March, you can ride into mid April on the abandoned ski-hills. If my motor is still sucking coolant in the morning - I will be out of ideas. Flat out... with no motivation to wrench. I'm praying tonight.
