Below freezing temperatures are nec- essary for the best snowmobil- ing. Ice-travel is the most hazar- dous of all snowmobile oper- ations. Most snowmobile fatal- ities have been drownings as a result of machines break- ing through thin or rotten ice. Snowmobiles should never travel on frozen lakes]: or.rivers without an intimate knowledge of -ice conditions and water currents. The latter is of utmost importance, as currents can cut away 'the underside of an ice surface, making it unsafe at that part- icular spot. A check made even a few feet away from this area could show ice of a safe thickness. The shore- line of a lake is often "the currents created by contribut- ary streams and rivers. It is advisable to use the "buddy system", two mach- ines or more, when travelling any distance away from snow ploughed roads or patrolled trails. Do not attempt distant out an experienced person in cross at right angles using extreme caution. When travelling in wooded areas slow down and watch for snow-covered stumps and fallen trees which could be a hazard.

The sport has acquired such "popularity that even ar- dent skiers have given up the odd ski weekend to ride a snowmobile, 'Snowmobile races are be- coming annual events in both Canada and the United States, and it is with this thought in mind, that it was felt the lan- guage of snowmobile racing should be introduced. Like so many other sports, snowmobile racing has a chatter of its own. For example, -to "break out" has nothing to do with acne. This simply means that you've made your move, and left the rest of the "turtles" behind. Similarily, the "pack" does not refer to a deck of cards, the Rat Patrol, or something that one would carry on his back. In the jargon of snowmo- "biling, "it's-thHe bad "guys in fuzzy caps, and they are better left behind.

It has been souped up by boring the cylinders to a larger size than delivered by the factory. "Tuning the exhaust" is not a musical exercise. A tuned exhaust is a special exhaust system that has been designed to improve engine perform- ance. And a "megaphone" has nothing to do with loud speak- ers. It is a special type of tuned exhaust, and can be mighty noisy at times. To "stuff the crank case" suggests only that the lower part of the two-cycle engine has been modified to increase compression, When a driver "tweaks the carburetor" it may not cuddle or coo. There is a chance that the machine will run: better, however, because the fuel mix- ture 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 it explanation.

"FASHIONS: Snowmobile outfits are designed quite dif- ferently from ski togs, but they have to be. There isn't much weight difference, but the snowmobile set must take into considera- tion the fact that snowmobile riders move around a lot more than skiers. Skiers remain' in mostly a rigid position. The snowmobile outfit is less form- fitting. The true snowmobile suit is also equipped with extra pad. ding at the knees (many peo- ple kneel while driving) and will probably have such added: conveniences as a two-way zip- per and, perhaps, an extra pocket or two. Also, the outfits wil likely be made of a lightweight, wind- proof and waterproof fabric with a warm inner 'lining and tight-fitting cuffs, hood, mask and other protective features. Well, that's it. Have fun, and as we winter sports huffs say: "Sce ya on the slopes." Toronto. Telegram Syndicate i
