I enjoy doing this to Land Bruisers and Path Losers every winter on my
slightly shy of 300hp
'89 200TQ with 4 Nokias. Same as you are describing, only I get to beat them
all the way from the stand still. 
You pull up next to them in a deep snow and they look down at you with such
an arrogant expression on the face: "sucker, are you nuts? you don't know who
are you messing with here". Then the light changes to green and we nail it.
They go gulp, gulp in my four rooster tails, trying to make that tall,
upright, automatic lump of iron go straight, while giving me this dumb
surprised look, like: "what the hell was that?".
Some times I have to restrain myself as not to shout: "this is an AUDI
QUATTRO!"
I envy all of you guys in Colorado! Can't wait to go to VT and to Canada this
coming weekend.
