A-Bodies in the snow?

I had a friend that used to drive an old Buick Skylark slightly jacked up in the back (air shocks) with 50 series Remington XT120's all winter long. I ask him once how he did it and he told me he let the air out of the tires to 10 to 12 pounds of pressure when it snowed! This was back in the 1970's and we got a shitload of snow back then in WV. As some of you may know the only flatlands in WV are dragstrips! He also had acouple of sandbags in the trunk. roadrunnerh is right about neons, they are tanks in the snow and you can buy a 6 pack of them cheap!
