ATA Wednesday night meeting

[Snowcat Operations]

Every Wednesday night we have a meeting at the ATA club house /garage. Tonight we moved 4 ST4s into position for tomorrow's soda blast. Some members erected a blast booth and others moved the rigs. It went pretty quick and we should have 4 shiny rigs almost ready for paint soon. We moved some trailers around and Bobcats new (to him) Thiokol Imp is positioned for him to start his restore. More on that later from Bobcat himself. We were all thankful he didn't buy yet another Kristi. He has the worlds largest collection of Kristis to date. Pics soon! (Not of Bobcats Krusti cats)

More snowcats on the list for Soda Blasting. The nice thing about soda blasting is that it leaves behind a coating on the aluminum that keeps it from corroding until its washed off.

Bobcat will post next weeks ATA meeting pics.
