How long is the track?
Sounds like you'd have some great air.
Tires are studded?

The total lenght of the track is 3000meter/3km. The air is very suitable for this and in the end of march it will not be to cold. We guess somewhere around 32-23 farenheit during the sunny days, maybe a bit warmer also.

The tyres poeple will use is very individual. Most of them will use studded.
I think manycars will use pretty much original studded tires. Like the ones NOKIAN are selling. About the bikes I don´t really know. Pretty long and thin and as light as possible.

These ones on the pics are not realy suitable for extreme speeds. More just extrem grip for ice road racing and stunt riding.

X-15 rocket powered land speed vehicle on ice.

the sonic wind is powered by a single 2200 pounds of thrust lr-11 rocket engine.

the x-15 was powered by the xlr-99 rocket engine.

they briefly used a couple of clusters of the lr-11 engines on the initial x-15 powered flights as an interim while they awaited the might xlr-99.

57,000 pounds of thrust in the x-15 engine, even if it is throttleable, might be a little too much for the sonic wind.

Greg --

You've got me confused on this Montie Wolff thing . . .

". . . I know Monte Wolfe, senator, and you're no Monte Wolfe."

 :cheers:

ah, but i am monty wolf!

i think i met monte in 1969.

i always thought monte wolfe was the coolest name i'd ever heard.

i told monte when i got into radio i was going to steal his name.

i've been monty wolf for most of my life.

outside of the lsr community and my family everyone knows me as monty.  even the current and previous governor of nevada and our two senators know me as monty.  but, harry doesn't like me all that much, but john ensign likes me just fine.  i wish the attached picture was clearer; not many people have pictures of themselves "hamming-it-up" with a united states senator!

it is kind of strange having two names.

i still think monte wolfe/monty wolf is the coolest name ever!   :mrgreen:

And Monte Wolfe is a cool guy, too!

Thanx for the explanation --I've worked with radio guys for the last 25 years (and some of them have almost forgotten who they used to be!).

that certainly added to the attraction of adopting the name. :mrgreen:

one of the reasons i hate the business!

pic below is monty wolf, burke lesage and monte wolfe with the redhead in impound in 1978.  it meant a lot to me to have monte welcome me into the club.
