Looks like fun! Were you on studded tires or just bare rubber snows? I agree with @srizzors25 its too bad they only allow 4wd/awd at Georgetown.

No pedal dance. Just normal 3-second-hold to turn off the aids. It wasn't uncommon for the TCS to still kick in at extreme angles or when your wheels were REALLY spinning like crazy, but it was never obtrusive. If anything the light would flash a bit, and you could hear and feel the system doing SOMETHING but it's not like with the aids on where you hit a brick wall in performance. In fact, it was so subtle I couldn't really tell what it was doing. I think if anything it was just braking the rear wheels slightly to try to control SOME of the extreme wheelspin, but it doesn't completely step in and cut power. It's more like, "OK, WE'RE ONLY GOING 10 MPH AND WE'RE COMPLETELY SIDEWAYS. HOW ABOUT WE LIMIT OURSELVES TO ONLY, I DUNNO, 6K RPM???" Lol.
As far as how the car stayed so clean, remember there is no salt on the lake, lol. So it's just dry, frozen ice, and a little bit of snow on the track. Clean snow. There is nothing to get the car dirty! I was on General Altimax Arctic 205 section tires on 16" steelies. They are studdable tires, but I didn't have any studs in. With studs my car would have acted more like it was on dry pavement. The cars with studs were flying around like nobody's business, throwing up massive rooster tails in the process. |

Another ice racing BRZ!!!! Your awesome. My group races door to door. I didn't use the BRZ this year cause it's getting a roll cage at the moment.

Looks like a ton of fun.
Also wanted to say hi from Jalopnik, I was talking to you about a month ago over there about BRZ in the winter months and how I was waiting for winter to be over before I ordered mine. I go by the tag "Emerald" over there. Cool to see you here too. |

As an update to our discussion like a month ago though, I was in one of the dealerships in my area today. They did a search, and sadly, there aren't any Series.Blues left in my area at all. But they are seeing what they can do price wise to get me into a limited all the ground effects options and the wheels. I will miss out on the blue interior, but hey... that's what I get for waiting I guess. |
