Ice Racing the BRZ on Super Studs [video]
 
I got the opportunity to try super studs (aka bolt tires) on the ice this weekend, and it was a blast! I might have to get my own set for next year.

The tires weren't heavily studded (yet), but still provided amazing grip!

PS: Is there a way to embed vimeo videos? I tried several methods but none worked.

That looks awesome. Great exercise in self control too as it seems like over driving would cost a lot of time.

Good to see another crazy bastard who ice races the BRZ. Slightly different than my group though. We race door to door

Day 2
 
Yeah its a ton of fun! Being on the ice can seem sketchy (especially when it spider cracks right beneath you!) but it was safe. As long as you drill before you play you'll be reasonably safe. We had 17+ inches of solid ice :thumbsup:

It rained a bit overnight so day two was less organized and more just for fun. I had to give the studs back for day two, but it was still a blast. We setup a skid pad and I played on that for a good while. Definitely an exercise in discipline!

Two of my photog friends came out and took some great shots. I added a few highlights, but you can check out the full album here:

Another BRZ showed up for day two! We had a fun time chancing each other around the course for several laps.
