basically auto-x on ice.

no helmets needed for the BMWCCA sponsored event. if we were running with vermont cca we'd need them.

any car can run on any tires. there are 3 AWD classes: X Y and Z

X is summer tires and (maybe) all season

Y is snow tires

Z is super-snow tires, these have speed rating at S or below, i think

Ahh, it seems that, when turning your headpiece inside out would be impossible, it is acceptable to simply wear it backwards. This is good-to-know info.

I spent the evening further demolishing the shower walls...we're almost ready to pull the tub out and put the new walls up....so it was pretty productive/tiring.

I don't think we'll be heading to NJ this weekend...Matt won't be going on till 7:45 Sunday night and we can't really take off work Monday morning, so we're gonna stay home and try to do some damage on teh bathroom project.


Anyone up for ice racing sunday?

Turco, like my creative use of markup?
sick man. new brakes and smashing up your bathroom FTW haha
