Ready to roll, registered and ready with 220+ ft-lbs, 250 whp of RWD goodness, new Blizzak LM-22's, Brembos, 6MT w/JWT FW and stage 2 clutch, COBB AP...ok, it's still a handful. Ever try to drive a 350Z in the snow? This is better, but not much. I might have been able to give it a run with my 1967 Caprice 327 with snows from the 70's :D

Just trying to convince myself I can really drive this car well in the snow ;) 6 Winters have shown "it depends" but I drive it four seasons every year, so wth...looking forward to the Feb school! :sunny:

You've convinced me....signed up for late Feb. How early do you really get started - I'm hoping to just come up that morning....

yeah, we see plenty of FWD cars there. As long as the e-brake handle is accessible we can get you rotating on the skid pad :-)

I think around 8:30 at the hotel. Unless you know the area it can be easy to get lost, so I'd suggest coming up the night before....

This school was sold out but we just had a couple of cancellations, so there's a few open spots and registration is still open: https://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm ... 417DAD7A37

Come have fun with us!

Noah posted more pictures, videos and time trial results at http://www.naaclub.org/.

Wow! :shock: I thought I didn't stand a chance with all these Quattros around, but the Corolla did so well!!! :D :D :D
Only 2 of the instructors did a better time! I LOVE my old Toyota (and its Blizzak tires ;) ) !
