    I've been wanting to do one of these for the last few winters but have never been available on the dates they were scheduled, but this year I'm free! It sounds like we just show up that morning?

      Just show up indeed. You will register for the event once you get out there. 

      I will be making appearances to these, and would enjoy seeing more of you guys out there! 
      Ride alongs / beat runs in the E will be given out as much as possible. 

      I need to take a hammer to the chassis so I can hit lock without the tires hanging up on the chassis, it makes sliding in a controlled manner difficult when the front wheels stop spinning.

        can't wait to see the beast in action, and i'm curious to see how those tires do on ice.

        in the ///m? that will be a riot.

        i also have to pickup a cheap DOT racing helmet, any recommendations from anyone? are the baseline Bell ones any good? Would also be using it for auto-x, etc.

          I just posted the FVSCC, CWSCC and RA winter events on the track/autocross calendar last night. Future dates are all tentative obviously. I hope to make it out to a few of these too!

            They do alright, but they are certainly not snow tires. The liftoff oversteer is what will always get ya 😉 
            Though that was with the welded diff last year and may be a bit more manageable this year.

                i could not confirm any event this weekend, so if you can find info that would be awesome.

                  Yup! Should be a lot of fun. 

                  I'm also interested in helmet recommendations since I don't have one

                    I lied. I'm thinking of the one on the 22nd.

                      Last year we went to the FVSCC events on Lake Poygan (near waupaca).

                      CWSCC has events on Lake Dubay, which is between Stevens Point and Wausau.

                      There are also events on Lake Sinissippi (draw a triangle between Madison, Milwaukee and Fond du Lac, and it's right in the center), which are put on by WAG (Wisconsin Autosports Group)

                      The best source of dates appears to be facebook. I'm planning on hitting the up the FVSCC events for sure, but would like to check out at least one of the WAG events on Sinissippi to see what they're all about.

                          Weather isn't looking conducive for the 22nd, which saddens me.

                            44 would be amazing! weather should be around freezing all week, which should keep the ice safe. will they not run if its warm?

                              The first half of the week looks fine, second half, not so much. I'm still hopeful though. Weathermen are hardly ever right anyway, so it's too early to tell. I'd go even if it's a big slush-fest. Ben took all his cars apart though... 😒

                                I made it very specific to the machine shop that my m20 head is to be done by friday or sooner, all with the intention of throwing it back together friday night and or saturday to make it on the ice 😉
