Alright, who wants to come ice racing with me in Colorado in February?
Guys and gals,
A group of friends and myself are organizing a private track rental of the Bridgestone Winter Driving School in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Advan wearers need not apply.
Here's the deal:
The only prerequisites are:
You must have completed a 1/2 day course at Bridgestone (which you can do the day before the event)
You must have all wheel drive
You must have snow tires without studs
This is the most fun you're ever going to have in a car with your pants on.
As opposed to a dry track, there is no line here. The line is wherever the snowbanks aren't.
Click here for registration info
There will mostly be Audi quattros there, and as of right now, I'm the only Evo there. Hell, I'm driving all the way from NY just to do this event, FWIW. It'd be nice to see some of you locals from CO show up, you just might learn something.

No studs, no chains, no bolts, no studs, just skinny rubber and a prayer. Since it's solid ice, the chains/studs/etc will tear it up and we won't be allowed back.
FWIW, the tire to use out there is the Blizzak WS-50, incredible ice tire. There may be better tires in the slush or wet snow, but nothing can touch it on ice. 205/60/15 for me.
Evoisadream,
Kumho what? Go for Blizzak WS-50's if you can swing it.

You'll want snow tires for control and to protect your car.
