Please forgive the repost, but for those of you who missed it when I sent it
Jan 30:

Fellow Quattrophiles,

I just got off the telephone with François Faloppa from the Michigan chapter
of the Quattro Club this afternoon.  They have just scheduled an Ice Driving
School in Lake City, Michigan (near Cadillac- upper third of the lower
Peninsula).  Instructor will be Mike Purzycki(sp?).  This event will be in
association with the Michigan Ice Racing Association (but its NOT a race).
 François does not have E-Mail, so I told him I'd happily post it to the
list.

Scheduled dates:  Saturday, Feb 22 and Sunday, Feb 23 1997.  (Sat Noon-4 pm,
not sure about Sunday times)
Contact François at (810)589-8176.  Cost $85.00 (includes insurance) plus
Hotel(shouldn't be much).  Send check made out to him (we're not that big a
club yet) and he will send you the information packet.  Incidentally, he did
a wonderful job setting up the Waterford Hills Driving School this past
summer, as Scott Justusson a.k.a. QSHIPQ, Brendan Rudack and I will attest
to:

We need at least 15 cars to make this feasible (shouldn't be a problem).  Two
cars on lake at a time.  Bring Helmet if you have one. We will have some
available.  And a stopwatch, so you can help check your progress.

Incidentally, the Michigan Ice Racing Association will have races during this
time at another area of the lake.  

There will be a recording you can call just before the sheduled event for
changes (like a sudden warm spell).  Looks to be a great time.  And nothing
really for Brendon Rudack to run into, except maybe a snowbank or two.

P.S.  If you don't drive a quattro, but still want to test your ice prowess,
you're still welcome to the event.  FWD/RWD, whatevever -- no Hummers, please
(a little too weighty).
