Went to a 'car control clinic' today and learned a few things about driving on snow/ice and generlly had a good times.

Few Things to brag about. I didn't crash into a snow bank or spin out or get stuck once. Every other person did. And no, dont think i was being a wussy driver. I pulled off the best time on the road course out of EVERYONE with a 138.8. Every other time was in the mid-low 1:40s I also got a congrats from the instructor because i was the only one that could keep a car sideways around the skid-pad for a time and a half

This was so much fun it should be illegal. BTW, i did all that WITHOUT snow tires Imagine if i had them.

Anyways. here are some pics.

When we got there it was -13 degress.


Doing 'The Oval' which consisted of 2 slaloms and a braking course. The one slolam was pure ice and you could see beneath the surface.

This was the braking excersize.

View of the whole thing



Overall, it was an AWESOME time. The X peformed flawlessly and i impressed the instructors.

The one instructor even called the G 'That beautiful black car' (this came from an audi owner.)

Just an epic time. Pics do not do, how much fun i had, justice.

 

looks like you had a ball lol
why is there only snow on the rear of your G?

 

Looks like a fun time Janik and good experience

 

Spray that blows up from behind the G.
Sure did, Wayne. You have NO idea. I came out of the skid pad after going around the thing sideways for a time and a half and the lead organizer dude comes up and goes "wait, i thought the instructor was doing that the whole time"

 

Looks crazy fun

 

It was beyond crazy fun. I was going on ice, driving sideways, while the G is going backwards, but the wheels are moving forward. Ice makes your car do crazy things. haha

 

looks mad fun, to bad you have no videos tho.

 

looks like soo much fun..whats all that white stuff on the ground?

 

No videos. Only had the DSLR.

And that white stuff is snow, and i was driving on water

 

where did this take place at?

That looks like it was a insanely fun event. I would love to attend one of those.
