SNOWMOBILING
Trips and Tips
oy Durl Hopper
Last' week end saw local 'snowmobilers out on two
safaris, one group of snowm'obilers took areal icing ride and
rode their .machines up to Wingham Winter Carnival on Sunday.
The weather was beautiful 'and they had a real good tint e,niaking
the trip in one hour and thirty minutes. A larger group'of, ,
snowmobilers rode their machines to Hensall Winter Carnival.
They-rode•aeross country and•coVered some trails that 'were a
real experience.
• This week end the Club plans are a safari to fhe Listowel
Winter Carnival, it wilt be part cross-country and part side-
roads . They plan on stopping 'far lunch on the way up and .
getting back in time for ,supper: -at 'the golf 'club. All
snowmobilers are invited to participatebut they would like to
know who 'Intends to go sa they' can make better plans.
With all the 'winter carnivals around- there are always
spowrnobile races and, in order to enjoy-them you should know
the language and sometimes the snowmobile set has a funny
Way of expreasing Itself at limes.
F,or' example, to ."break ouf" has nothing to do with
acne.' It simply means that you have made your move, and
,,,..
left the rest' of the "turtle's" behind. ,
Similarly, the "pack" does fiat refer to a deck of cards,
the Rat patrol, or to something one would -carry on his 'back.
In snowMobiling jargon, it's the bad guys In fuzzy caps, and
, -they are better left bellied. •
'a. If. you become "crossed up," you have just negotiated
a delicate siderWays slide and are caroming but of contra]. in
,a spin. Voila! ,
There is even something in snowmobile talk for the
gourmet. To "lunch" an engine means „you've burned it out,
or blown it up. In other words, your goose is cooked. ,
Qn the -other- hand, a "blown" 'engine has net just
exploded. It has been souped up by boring the cylinders to
a larger size than factory delivered. An 'old hot-todder's
trick,
"Tuning the 'exhaust" is not a musical exercise. A
tuned exliadarst is a special exhaust system -that' tas been a
designed to improve engine performance. And a"megaphone"
has nothing to do with loud-speakers. It is a special type of
tuned exhaust, and can be mighty noisy.aatimes.
To "stuff the crang case" \suggests only that the
lower paraotthe 2-cycle 'engine has been modified to ihcreaee
compression.
When a driver "tweaks the carburetor"' it • may not
• cuddle or coo. There is a, chance'lhat the machine will'run
better, however, because the fuel Mixture has been thinned
out, or "leaned." '
"Hanging it out" has to, do with letting the back end of ,
your machine drift around a curve. "Hanging laup" needS no •
explanation.
A '"Charger" take your credit on the line. He
will, however, drive hard to win, and freqUeittly beaomes
"crossed up" or "hung out" or generally "lunched." And
there are always those titnealhat he Wins, , ,
A "wipe Mit" is to 'be alfelded. at all costs, and to
"cool it"" etas nothing to tit* with shivering 'on the sidelines., aa.
Playing it cool is the only way to go on the snow in, etout t of
a. rate.'
A rink skipped by Bill Camp-
bell, Jr., won the Junior Farniers
