SCCV Ice Racing in Colchester VT tomorrow (Sunday 2/27)

Here is the thread with details. There's a slight chance things won't work out if they can't plow, but it's looking good now.

Here is the SCCV ice time trial web page with general info for race day schedule. A helment is required, but they usually have a few loaners.

I'm going up tonight, gonna crash in a hotel, then ice race.

That's quite a haul. Still over 3 hrs even for me. Let me know how it goes.

Gonna grab a hotel room w/ a friend so I don't have to drive in the morning. Motel6 is $49/night.

Got any pics/video? How was it?

It was a boatload of fun.

I borrowed my sister's "that damn Audi", 88 Audi Quattro. If I spent over a week's worth of time working on the damn thing, I might as well get some play out of it.

Whoa, AWD is awesome in the snow! Damn that thing launched full throttle in 1st gear on ice. I was not quite cool enough to point wheels at apex and floor it to pull me in, but I did some of it, and often times when the car went sideways, it was awesome to just floor it and have it stick.

I actually did pretty well in my category, beat my friend's Evo (the horsepower was probably hurting him).

My friend took some videos, those will probably be up in a few days.

Here are some pics from various peeps. This album has a ton of pics.

Some people had crazy ass spikes:

Whoops, ate some snow:

Yeah, I bet its a lot more fun with those spiked tires.

Looks like fun though. The last time I went with the BMW club wasn't that great. No snow mean no grip. It was complete glare ice and no amount of throttle or brake could control the car.

Bahh, nothing, was doing real Ice racing on 89 yesterday and today.
