I couldn't find it in the rule book. Are snow chains legal in street class if they are on 200 UTQC tires?

No you are limited to 200 TW cables & they must be purchased from tire rack.....

Might need to get my rivals studded.

Yeah we get to run! Stoopid global warming.

Was cold, but enjoyed the slick challenge.

Despite the significant shrinkage, it was good times! I would like another run at that course in the dry (and warm). Nice job SCCA gang.

It was a Mini course. (Well, mini weather!)

If you enjoyed your "Slip 'n' Slide" as a kid, you would have loved today's event. I had a blast.

Big thanks to Armstrong for letting me codrive his s2000 ....240hp was a blast ! Might need some Vtec action for my NB:burnrubr:

My first/best run for top PAX on Sunday's icecross. Slippy fun!!

Nice run Mike. I was watching from grid. Your slide through the first box made the novice worker there jump a few feet. Good times!

Here's one of my runs, as I tiptoe daintily because my gentleman bits were off somewhere seeking warmth. Pretty sure they made friends with my spleen by the end of the day.

Finally defrosted. That was crazy slick yet fun.

Sounds like this would have been a fun event in my old Evo on Hooiser Wets.
