red bull frozen rush kicks off today watch it live

Red Bull is known for plastering its brand on every extreme sport it can find — and Frozen Rush is no different. The first round of the off-road snow race series pits nine competitors against each other on the slopes of the Sunday River Ski Resort in Newry, Maine.

The trucks are equipped with 900-horsepower engines and one-off BFGoodrich All-Terrain spiked tires that allow them to get to grips with the snow and ice. Racing veteran Ricky Johnson will be leading the pack after setting the quickest qualifying time yesterday.

Intense action is expected on the specially designed course that features 100 foot jumps. Sub-100-second runs were seen during qualifying.

The course has been extended this year. Returning champion Bryce Menzies will have a challenge trying to defend his title against Ricky Johnson and the rest of the well-qualified field of racers.

You can catch the live stream on Red Bull TV on Friday, January 8th at 11:30 AM ET — which is right now.

Cool trucks. Cool tires.

Me and some buddies tried to get ice racing going in our area but with dirt bikes. Properly set up ice tires stick better than a fresh set of tires on good dirt. It was a blast.

Bd2 Hyundai is, of course, not on this list as a forefront leader in ethics and accountability. Meanwhile the egg is in Toyota's face yet again.
Jkross22 This is likely my final chime in/experience with our leased CX9 as the lease is up in less than a month. We're getting 19.5- 20.0 mpg combined over the last few months. That's with the legacy 2.5T with the 6 speed auto. Not great but it is a responsive drive train and there's a fuel penalty for that I suppose. If you're thinking about picking up a used CX9, Mazda settled a lawsuit that extends the warranty of the 2.5T for another 2 years/24k miles. Double check to make sure the 2.5T model you're looking at is covered by this. This had to do with an oil consumption issue. We did test drive the CX90 with the inline 6. It was nice, but not what I was expecting in terms of sound and smoothness. As others have said, it ain't no BMW inline 6. Power was ok, but oddly not as responsive as the 2.5T. Maybe they'll get that sorted in the next couple of years. The improved mpg has to be due to the hybrid system and shutting off at stops. Lastly, Mazda's lease return process is terrible. They're good at reminding us the end is nigh, but they outsourced the inspection process to AutoVin. AutoVin noted a scratch that AutoVin said is normal wear and tear, but Mazda says (in their lease end paperwork) exceeds normal wear and tear. I took it to the nearest dealer and the manager there claimed to have no say in the return process and was unable/unwilling to assist.I called the leasing dealer and they said they couldn't help either. I called Mazda Finance and they said they would send AutoVin out again for a 2nd look, and no one has followed up to do this. In fact, it's extraordinarily difficult to get anyone at Mazda Finance to answer a call. Abysmal customer support all around. I would not lease a vehicle from Mazda again.Mazda says that they can send a final bill to us within 60 days if they determine there is anything beyond normal wear and tear. I guess I'll repair the scratch, but customers shouldn't be left guessing or getting conflicting information from the inspection company and the manufacturer. And neutering your dealers in this process is counterproductive and foolish.
MaintenanceCosts Everyone at every stage of the supply chain lies. On the one hand OEMs should be vigilant, but on the other hand this sort of thing is going to happen once in a while no matter how careful an OEM is. It's hard to know from this report whether the OEMs cited here reasonably should have known of the issue or not.The real solution is for more countries to have and enforce laws against bad labor practices. We can help with that a bit through trade agreements but in the end the countries have to make the decision themselves to do it. Xi is not going to make that decision.
ToolGuy QOTD: Which chain has the best coffee on the interstate?(Tops for me right now is the robot dispenser at Pilot - grinds your choice of better-than-average beans and brews one cup at a time. Did back-to-back comparisons last week with the QuikTrip robot and it is not as good.)
Paul Alexander If there had been no Congressional ban on this type of practice, obviously it would be okay. I allow politicians to dictate my morality.
