NEW HAMPSHIRE TRUCKS IN WATER FOR DRY LAND SNOWMOBILE RACES

Like many parts of the world, New Hampshire is in a drought this year, which has forced – forced, mind you – a local snowmobile competition to truck in thousands of gallons of water. Organizers for the “Race into Winter” snowmobile event brought in more than 20,000 gallons of water to fill three man-made ponds for the annual event where snowmobiles race down a grass dragstrip and across ponds. This year, the ponds at the site that are normally full have nothing in them so the water was brought in.
* Suck it, California.
* I don’t hear anything about “snow” for these snowmobile races.
* Have they considered switching from snowmobiles to ATVs?
* Just move it to Florida. They’re getting a lot of rain down there.
* Unless you don’t consider 40 inches a lot of rain.
* You know what’s even more alarming? When the Iditarod race doesn’t have enough snow.
* “Race into Winter”? What’s a pond full of water have to do with winter?
* Sounds more like “Race into Mud.”
* Ahh, screw it. I never did understand New Hampshire.
