Those Audis looked pretty good (at least they looked like Audis) in the snow. I wonder if wider or skinnier tires are advantageous in those conditions?

all the cars that passed me in the vid were on studded tires. the street legal class have to run spec Nokian studded tires. non studded class can run any snow tires. we run studded and non in the same race.

From the in-car, I thought you were on a warm up lap the whole time... Granted that's coming from a left coastal desert dweller. Must be pretty fun though always balancing the edge like that.

Kinda made me think of a Jr. High dance; slow, awkward, and all over the place.

lol, yeah it was pretty low traction condition. some of the worse conditions according to some of the vets. usually there would be some snow to give more grip. the 'snow' you see in the vid is not really snow. it's ice chips from the big stud tires cars dig up from the ice. it doesnt pack down like real snow does.

Chuckwalla First time there first time on 255 from a 225, first time using the big brake kit i built and first time on the big turbo.
I would be interested in other peoples times. There is tons of improvement to be made on the driver end and a little on the cars end

Hey, nice job out there, especially w/those new mods. As far as times, the local So.Cal group has posted 1:54's to 2:10 in CW format
