My Haggery insurance on my 74 Pontiac states no coverage on a racetrack. Just means you have to drag to a road somewhere before you claim it.
HAha! Great mental image!

We had a woman wreck a 2 year old Grand Prix in a spectator race at a local race track about 8-10 years back. They got some help and dumped the car into a bridge pileon(sp). Cops knew it was fixed right away. That was a 15-20k screw up. Not sure if they got in trouble for insurance fraud or not.

A while back, somebody dropped a sled in a lake. I think it was lake tomahawk in WI. Anyway, the diver they hired found about 10-20 sleds sitting on the bottom. Not sure whatever came outta that either.

My bud sank his sled, one of the locals got there and was able to hook the rear grab bar of the sled from the surface WITHOUT diving down.
He then CHAIN-SAWED a 5' "channel" in the ice all the way to shore, hooked it to a pick-up truck and dragged it out.
How close to shore are you?
Don't tell me it's the tree line 1/2 mile away.....................................................................................

That is how they got our truck out when it went in. Where it went in at you could only get to shore from one side. Yup it went down about 3/4 of the way across from that side. It was 17 feet under. Good thing the tow truck had a long cable. Diver went down hooked on the truck and then cut a a channel all the way to shore. Had to go really slow dragging it along the bottom. Went slow as we didn't know what was on the bottom and the drivers door was open and the the water it went in was an old mine pit. When it got to shore they then had to cut a big hole in the ice to bring it up on land. It is pretty deep along the shore that when they brought it out it came up straight up and down. It sure was shiney when it came up. Had been under water about 18 hrs. Brought it home dried it all out and it is still running today as our plow truck. We called it the yooper car wash!!

If it was Houghton Lake you could get out and stand up! LOL!!
Holly balls bat man 12 days latter, what took so long?
Is that a local authority in the picture (looks like a trooper hat). You sure have some stories to tell over and over in the years to come. Any idea on the bill yet?
X2, We had a sled go through one year in 8 feet of water, the tail was on the bottom and the tip of the ski was hanging onto the edge of the ice, we couldnt get it up over the lip so we used and extension ladder to get under it and raise it up over the ice, the owner of the cabins that we stayed at was wondering what we were doing with her ladder
We couldnt get it out that night so we left it untill the morning, the water froze over and we had to break the ice up with the ladder
