You're lucky you can even go to the track in 9 degree weather! I can't make it over either mountain pass to get to a strip or track till at least March or April over here in the NW. Yay for low miles though!

Wash your baby and park it in the garage

Lol, I live on a mountain in NC, my caR is sitting at the bottom. I didn't want to risk sliding off in the ice at 1am when I got off work.

I've driven to the track on winter tires.

R comps don't stick all that well when it's cold out, though.

I have some cupped snow tires on mine that sound like 33" super swampers. Does surprisingly well with them.

I've heard that the RA1's and some others will seperate between the grooves at 20degrees F or lower, i run street tires in the winter.

This was the first event in January, It was cold raining and no one to play with. I am back to thinking 102degrees is better

I'm pretty sure he's not going to kick one of the cars out of the garage or care enough to put a car cover on his POS.
