Evos in Alaska

Im moving to Anchorage in December 2012 and want to know if any one knows of any EVO's up there. If so what are the pro's and con's and should I leave it in the lower 48 while Im there?

Last I checked, they shoot anything and anyone who believes in Evolution(s) from helicopters. But maybe I watch too much MSNBC.

In Alaska I'd rather have a truck and a snowmobile. Leave the Evo here in the lower 48.

That's cause Texans like things big and trucks are big.

There are a couple of us running around up here.... you know if you'll be going to Anchorage or Fairbanks? Most of us are in anchorage, a few drive year round and some others just drive their cars during the summer or on nicer days during the winter. If you want to leave it or bring it its up to you, I drive mine year round but it's not my daily. They are fun to drive in the winter but you need at least all seasons if you want to get anywhere safely.

Stop by the https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/no...laska-210.html thread when you get a chance.

90 octane is the best you can get from a regular service station, race gas is available a couple places. Alot of people run 'torco' (an octane boosting additive) to help bump the octane to at least 92-93.

We don't know what a snowmobile is. We call them snowmachines.

And you don't need a truck. Anchorage doesn't get that bad during the winter. Just get some blizzacks and you'll be set.
