Ice Rally this season
-
9 to 4. You could leave after the first heat if you had to go early. You get a few practice laps in the morning, then about 4 laps per heat so you'd still get about 7 laps for half the day and you'd be done by maybe 1-2

I've got my fingers crossed that the weekend of the 25/26th has good weather and a rally scheduled, its looking like my only chance to make one this season!
probably won't be ice left by then, but its possible. next week it's forecasted to hit almost 50 for a number of days and that will most likely end the season in most places.
today was fun! the ice was really tricky - super slippery due to the temps/sun and a much more low-speed layout.
pictures:
one other BMW there, a e36 325i with studded tires and a giant wing. it looked really fast on the track, made me want studs too.
one guy brought some sort of dirt track truck
and for mitch - a lifted miata
and here was the new camera rig, it was super solid. the wire is a tether, but i don't think it really needed it. i think i will get a long external mic and run it out the back window near the exhaust so the engine noises can be heard over the wind next time.

@straight6pwr what about running the mic to the intake... induction noise>exhaust noise

Yeah I have my concerns, the forecasts are looking like we are at the end of the winter, I'd be surprised if we get any more snow at this point. Next winter I will be keeping my Sundays clear...

Just wanted to let you know that the roundel belongs on the front of your hood haha. Looks like a fun time.
almost forgot - that is Klaus, the traveling BMW logo. He's from the r3v group and I got him this week, which was great timing for the ice racing, so he got some ride-alongs
