Not if they know how to drive. There will be some knuckleheads yes, but with $1500 on the line, there will also be some talented ice driving on display as well.
I plan to drive in reverse the entire time, You thought drifting was technical… This is like trying to fit your dick in a soda can without cutting it, attention to detail is a must.
It pays to check the CVRA site often because I just noticed this news update on the antifreeze rule:
12/22/10: NOTE: Antifreeze Rule Change for Hangover 100 ONLY:
The use of antifreeze will be allowed only if the overflow tube of the radiator is
removed from the stock location ( that being the overflow bottle).
Overflow tube must be one piece and run from car’s radiator to the lower
left hand corner of the car’s front windshield. Overflow tube must be securely
fastened by clamp on the radiator the end of hose. Must be securely mounted so that
the end of the tube is pointed upwards towards the roof of the car.
Please note that any cars overheating will be removed from speedway.
I’m glad to see the change as I was worried that car count might suffer because of the hassle of having to run water only.
OK, who else is in? Eric and I will both be in Nissan’s. Should be interesting!
