Eventually, all groomers earn a nickname; The Pineapple – Del Carnes, Tony Montana – Don Thomas, Hoss – Dave Haas. So it is no surprise to have; Hot Rod – Steve Squires, Captain Slowly – Ray Imel, Buffy – Buffy, and Tooth Gnasher Superflash- Mike Hekkers all working out at Pioneer Road. Hot Rod layed down a record Kessel run yesterday out to the bridge and back. Today Buffy and Captain Slowly worked cautiously down to the gate and found snow too soft and wet to support grooming. The Canam was compressing deeper than the Ginzu teeth could reach to till and the goo build up in front of the teeth was menacing. It took 3 humans to turn the CanAm around at the gate. The roller was like putting lipstick on a pig.Tomorrow Tooth Gnasher Superflash will prosecute a snow court order to find some combination of kung fu and packing – the CanAm alone, rolling – the CanAm plus the roller, and Ginzu – the actual name of the track setter – that delivers better results in the settling, soft wet snow pack.
