Talking This is Montana, do we need chains?

I have been asked more than one time if we will need chains in may. The answer is, maybe. Last year it was 85 each day and we all were in shorts, then Monday the day everyone left it dropped to 25 and snowed 3".

SO, here is what I will allow, if we get snow and it would be " scale " to run chains just like the 1:1 trucks we will allow it.

BUT, we will not allow chains if the weather is nice and if we were in our 1:1's we would not be using them, make sense?

Keep in mind, we will run the event no matter what the weather is, so pack accordingly.

Is there a chance for the need for 1:1 chains? If last year was any indication, I would never guess it...

Great idea! I'm gonna start on a chain set for the rock racer right away! Better bring some safety glasses!

I would not want to be anywhere NEAR That thing with chains mounted to it! Seeing the cyclones that thing can do would be dangerous if one came off. I never seen sparks come off a crawler tire before!
