Snowphun Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Reports were very light turnout, even with all the snow a "dry" line formed quite quickly resulting in a rather rough transition from sliding to grip and significant tire wear. I did an event in similiar conditions at Weymouth Air Station years ago and it's pretty harsh on the car. Hopefully they can figure out some kind of grooming solution, otherwise you'll need to find creative lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotti Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 UPDATE: January 10th will be the next event day. The admission has been lowered to $199 per driver only if you pre-register. I hope to see a good turnout or they may not hold another event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
