I was looking forward to getting out and tearing up some turf too. But the 2wd drive cars wouldn’t have done too well, if it gets too slippy they just sit n’spin. The big cars just chew the course to shreds. ---

AMEC is having a two day event next weekend (March 8-9). They found 15-16" of ice on Lake Colby. It’s near Saranac Lake / Lake Placid.

I went to this today. Took my CRX on studded Winterforces. CNYIRA ran a two day event on Honeoye Lake. Weather was high 30°s and sunny for most of the day. Yesterday (I wasn’t there) it was colder, and they ran the course the opposite way. There was a 45 minute practice session in the morning, then 3 ~20 minute races for each group (3 groups total). Practice was really slippery, the course was covered in snow and the studded tires didn’t seem to be doing a whole lot. I took a few laps with a more experienced driver in a neon and felt a little better after that. (you have to take the turns slow… Reeeallly slooow.) First race, I was gridded at the back and just tried to stay out of the snowbanks for the whole time — successfully! Conditions were pretty much perfect for the second race. The ice was softening up enough that it wasn’t quite so slick, and it got a little easier to drive. Somehow I managed to get into second place at the very beginning and stay there for a while. That’s what happens when someone else’s car stalls in grid at the start of the race and half the field is stuck sitting there. By the third race it was turning into a big slushy mess. The snow was melting all over the course, and my shoes filled up with water as I was packing the car up at the end of the day. Uck. I would have gladly done another race or two if the conditions were better. Anyway, I don’t know where the results are, I probably finished last in every race, but whatever… gotta start somewhere. :roflpicard: Wish I could have done both days! pictures below, video will be forthcoming [![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3371/3245694536_e0aa0b6fab.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3371/3245694536_e0aa0b6fab.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/marnie/3245694536/) [![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3467/3244869007_e2999bcb1e.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3467/3244869007_e2999bcb1e.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/marnie/3244869007/) don’t be scared… [![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3481/3244873337_07143c13df.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3481/3244873337_07143c13df.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/marnie/3244873337/) practice — still snow on the course [![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3304/3245698666_5e6364b3c7.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3304/3245698666_5e6364b3c7.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/marnie/3245698666/) same corner 4 hours later [![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3452/3245703274_efc378dfca.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3452/3245703274_efc378dfca.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/marnie/3245703274/) skating rink for the kids [![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3307/3245706468_aba84f0ca6.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3307/3245706468_aba84f0ca6.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/marnie/3245706468/) Lake CRX [![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3363/3245708220_fc27371ecb.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3363/3245708220_fc27371ecb.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/marnie/3245708220/) ---

I was there at the very end. You took off right when i got there. I got to do some laps cause everyone was done and it was pretty fun. A couple of turns were very tricky and i was more drifting in the bimmer than going really fast but it was fun. i am going to try to get one of my z’s ready to do this in the next couple of weeks. Don’t know if i want to risk dinging up the bimmer. ---
