Looks Fun! My car has been under a foot of snow for a week. I have been driving my AWD truck.

Those light poles come at you pretty quickly in those conditions, and you can't avoid them by just putting on the brakes either, like you can on warm dry asphalt.

I'm just saying I opened the thread thinking "doughnuts" and ended up seeing cute circles in the ice :P I'm just saying it's not the same thing, I never said it wasn't dangerous :P

To help keep your stomach on an even keel, look as far ahead as possible in the direction you want to arrive. It's harder at night, the tendency is to follow the headlight beam that can induce vertigo and motion sickness. Try it during daylight and let 'er rip, nothing like a low speed, low grip surface for teaching car control skills. That's why so many F1 champions are from snow countries.

Otherwise:

Did this a few weeks ago in an empty parking lot at my university. So much fun but unfortunately the popo was hanging out nearby so I left before I got in any trouble.
