Ice Racing

  • So what do you do in Wisconsin in the winter? Autocross on frozen lakes!
  • Though "studded" classes are available (not the normal studs, but 1" long spikes) the "rubber" classes were always more fun.
  • Through several years of racing I trophied in a borrowed Toyota, in my Corvair, and Ford Fiesta (really dominated with the Fiesta) but never in my quattro (which I never really learned to drive effectively...)
  • Ran the Allante once, but left early when the "unlucky VW" went through the ice...first such incident in a couple of decades.

 

Moving (2003)

  • So how do you move a dozen cars from Chicago to DC? You rent a truck...
