Maybe lay down a cool-blue blanket too simulate the ice...................
Actually Glenn Ocklund (the general of Landracing.se) has talked about towing blocks of ice to the monter, I am a bit sceptical because of the season but for him problems are meant to overcome.
I hope you guys get to meet him some day, I can´t praise him (and of course his crew) enough for arranging the Speed Weekend on Ice every year despite the hardships they´ve had some years with warm weather, water level regulated lakes etc etc. Hats off!
Anders - Such fantastic work you have done to this bike! Just when I think the bike is almost finished, you start adding more, cooler, gadgets. I hope to see this bike in person some day, it's way beyond what I could ever put together. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you Scottie! A bike like this is never really finished, I am right now planning to build a more powerful engine in parallel with racing the bike with the engine I have now.
If you set your mind to it I am sure you would pull something like this off, it is just a matter of long term planning and determination. If you for example set a goal to break a land speed record 15 years from now you just need to figure out what the yearly progress should be to reach your goal.
Today it is all about "pay today, race tomorrow", spend a fortune on catalogue tuning parts, spend even more on having someone putting the parts together and hopefully you´ll be a champion 5 months from now. The joy of actually building the vehicle and learning something in the process is often lost.
Anyway, thanks!
On a side note my hobby project is slowly coming together, a Rolls Royce Viper jet engine that was missing some vital parts. I hope to have it running by the end of the summer. Should be fun.
Cheers!
