rampelsauce Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 It looks like we're gonna have a good amount of track time for everyone! Ice is looking thick as ever and it's almost here. I have to get my ass to my shop and get my Bimmer running tip top or its going to be a cold and boring day for me.

Boris3 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Did the Audi Club ice school up at Hutisford yesterday. You'll have a great time. The course has many drifting opportunities. Snow tires will be a big help. Mostly awd and fwd folks yesterday and only a few rwd. rampelsauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 We will not be using the WAG course, as stated previously, because they decided that we could not run a more free form event. They also demanded that we paid them to staff the event. While the road course would be more desirable for our purposes, we just couldn't seem to come to an understanding. We are using Sinnissippi Ice Racing's oval on the other side of the lake. They are allowing us to run the event the way we see fit, and aren't asking for any ridiculous amount of money, just a one time fee of $100. This is what the $5 driver fee goes toward. Our members wanted a more open event, because some of them have never driven on ice. This gives our members a nice opportunity to have some fun, do some drifting, and get some cool photos of their cars going sideways and kicking up some snow. This is less than a week away! Can't wait to see you all out on the oval! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris3 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 If you guys are on your own make sure you have someone there with a 4wd pickup and tow straps. Folks will rage drift off course into the snow banks and beyond. Most of the time you can get together and push them out but some times you need the truck. rampelsauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampelsauce Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Just got off the phone with Jeremy from Lake Sinissippi Ice Racing, he said they have a foot and a half to two feet of ice all the way around the track. They have had 80 cars parked out on the ice at one time. If anyone is scared about putting their car into the drink after reading that, you are a silly person and I'm not having it. Im going to get in touch with Karen's Lone Pine to see if they will offer any specials for us, as we are a good sized group. Jeremy told me they run specials for the ice racing guys, so this is likely going to be the case. Make sure to fuel up and bring at least $5.00 cash if you're driving! This goes for everyone driving. The hours are from 9am to 3pm. At 3pm they start re-grooming the track for the next day's racing. If you have any questions feel free to contact me on here via PM.

Boris3 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 We had at least 50 cars plus two trucks doing tow duty on the ice yesterday, running exercises and the full course from close to shore to wellInto the middle of the lake. Three hours in the morning and three in the afternoon. No issues at all. Make it if you can guys, it is a blast!Kick the rear end out and throttle steer like crazy. Wish I didn't have a work conflict so I could join everyone. rampelsauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
