It was a great morning for non studded tires. The 200q20v Avant with Nokian Hak RSi's had immense amounts of traction relative to other ice events, full throttle and left foot braking, a great time. I convinced Joe to run, went for a drive in his 90 and found quickly it really had almost no traction, must have been fun on the course
Emre looked to be having some fun on the access road passing slower vehicles and dancing sideways 7 times afterwards. The 200 wagon and I won the AWD non stud class once again and after looking at the times I just can't say enough for the Nokian Hak RSi's as the top two AWD non stud cars running beat the entire AWD street stud class, some of the 2WD super stud class and others. Good times!
It was great to see a big Audi turn out, at one point there were 12 or so and that was with a light total turnout since we had to cancel the past two weeks due to patchy ice. We will probably be racing again in two weeks, this coming weekend is the SCCV's car show in the mall in Burlington, so no racing event.

bad paint, bad radiator, cracked windshield, loose susp.
the list went on...then I got my coupe, and the car sat at my parents house about a half hour away until they said I had to get it out...so I listed it on audifans, and this guy offered me $50 and I took it! Someone elses project now
