Ride in NJ at DelCasale's

[ARGOJIM]

Had another ride at Tom's with JerseyBigfoot. We had a kinda track test day if you will as JBF had his Adair Pro series on the Bigfoot, Tom had our Supertracks on his Bigfoot and We had the Argo Rubber tracks on the HDI with track tuners.

All machines performed well showing the minor issues each track had,there was 12 to 15 inches of loose snow under the 1/2 inch crust and we were running the same tight trails run during no snow.
This proved to be the biggest problem with the day, tight turns mean digging in which required many K or KK turns throughout the day, the Adair's dug quick and the rubber had wheel slip ( which I bettered with air pressure), the Supertacks just did their thing.

From what I observed If the snow had been deeper JBF could have used the winter kit, Tom seemed fine, and with us having a 500lb heavier machine with about 700lbs of passengers ( just a guess) needed what we had and on these trails, I don't believe the Adairs would have worked good on the HDI (just my opinion as there was no trial) in these conditions on this trail.

Lorrie ran the HDI about half the ride and Tom let his Buddy run his machine on the way back. JBF has some video. and here are some pics I tried to take while driving.





All in all a fun day hosted by Tom and Lorrie who fed us and led us.

I should probably be jealous of the riding, but Tom's cooking is what got me... that guy is an artist at the grill!! Looks like a fun day and a really good side by side comparison of different kinds of tracks.

Food is always good and appreciated, nice short rides always followed by nice meals by nice people.

Glad to see you guys had a good time Jim! Nice pics of the different setups. Does look like it was pretty cold though.

Waiting on the videos, guys. I'll have my sweater handy in case it makes me feel too cold.

No worries!

George is your track machine up at the farm or LI? If its on the island maybe we can arrange a day trip.

[George]

It's on the Island but my trailer's stuck up on the mountain.

I'm actually waiting on a set of half-links (track) from Bost Argo. There's too much slop in the tracks right now.

[ARGOJIM]

George show up at Tom's tomorrow and I'll bring a set be nice to officially meet as I always seemed to get distracted ant Busco. If we met already, officially, I'm sorry I was drunk ( that's my story and I'm stickin to it).
