As many of you know Gingerman, the sight of Expo 2, good lap times are under 1:40, most being mid 30s. A wisonsin based car club W-A-G rented the track for a full course autocross on snow and ice (with cones in the starights to keep speeds down) I didn't drive the R because it is being stored for the winter but instead ran my Wifes Ford Escape with snow tires. Mike (EFFECT) ED (SACKDZ) and others where in attendance. There where a handful of front drive hondas, but the main players where WRX, Evos, 2.5s, Legacy ETC.

Heres is a picture of turn 11 from the pit out area (not my picture/stole from another site

That looks fun!

No pictures of the Escape?

 

Absofuckinglutely Awesome!

I wish someone here would run an autox in the snow.

I drive a 92 Sentra as a daily beater but the damned thing never gets stuck and is just a pleasure to drive in the snow (thinking fondly of this mornings commute.)

Slap some snow tires on the Sentra (yes, it doesn't even have anything more than all seasons) and it would be completely unstoppable.

I just resign to doing donuts and full drifts in one of the lots at my work before and after my shift.

 

holy ****!

 

I want to see pics of the xscape

I just called Mike (EFFECT), Jason from Team Toilet has some photos he will post soon. I'm not sure if Ed took any pictures.

The in car footage and the majority of today is on video for the (shameless plug) upcoming Team Toilet DVD being released in March.

Here's the link http://www.cartct.com/index1.p...s.htm

 

David Hillman, who was there in his yellow MR2, should have some in-car footage up on the web soon. Kind of curious to see it myself

 

Whoa!! That's awesome!

If I had known, I would have driven out there for that one.
