Re: So quiet...
The "Nothing" came through here a few months ago. This little piece of the ASA is all that's left. I beg to differ. ASA is still a major player at the ISDRA. We are still tracking threats to our sport from the anti-OHV groups and taking legal action where prudent. We still send newsletters and occa...

Re: Too much traction - paddle tires
If cutting down the paddles appears to be on the right path, I'd suggest a little more tire pressure to see what happens. I've heard of some cutting alternating halves off the paddles. That's a radical move IMHO - and you can't go back if it doesn't work. I suppose then you could go to Skat Trak and...

In 2004, they tried to list 16 species. The listings were denied due to lack of science. The ASA has always insisted on science-driven decisions.
