Ok so I've been frozen up here in Vermont and off list for a while.
Here's an update.
The sun finally came out in Northern Vermont and I'm somewhat thawed
out from winter now. I've got several things to share. First, some of
the //S-car gruppe guys came up from CT (and Vincent down from Quebec
!) to bash the frozen tundra ice of Lake Champlain two weeks ago. The
turnout for the SCCV ice racing event was overwhelming and so we all
decided to blow that off and jammed to a different area. I blasted our
own small figure 8 course in 6" to 1.5 feet of drifted snow (sometimes
up to 2+ feet - Paul ...) with my Toyota 4WD for the S-Cars to have fun
in. We spent most of the day just wasting gas, blowing doughnuts,
drifting sideways and trying major left foot braking action - one way
then the next. Great fun. After that we ended up the day with some Audi
Sport movies at my house. Videos of this //S Car sillyness to post
soon, photo link below. Kudos to Paul K, Rich A, Adam A, Vincent and
Brian. Thanks to Paul for letting me use his S6 and show them all my
left foot braking style!!! Way fun. I'm glad they came up when they
did, as the ice on all lakes has turned to mush and almost to all water.

SCCV ice racing event. While we were waiting, and waiting and waiting
to run we did get to watch some odd, unusual and then very kewl cars
run. First out was a Yugo. Light, quick and on super studs. Surprised
us all. Next up was - odd to say the least - a stretched black long
arse Cadillac limo on super studs !! I took a video of this, but since
the car is sooooo long and with a stock exhaust it is not really worthy
of posting. Funny though with the Presidential seal on the door and
helmeted driver floggin it. Next in line was one of the Audi quattros
that consistently does well on the ice. Local Aaron Gibson's tweaked
rare limited edition "Brock Yates Cannonball Run" 4000S quattro mit
programable EFI /MC 10v'er turbo configuration. He uses Michelin rallye
gravel tires with superstuds mounted on speedline 20v'er coupe rims. I
made a totally kewl movie of his first run on the ice. Enjoy this.

Ok, If you've read this far down kewl! Help me clean out my garage. Now
