Thought some of you might be interested in this!
Come play with us on the ice, Saturday, January 21, 2006. We have reserved Georgetown Lake for our annual ice-driving event. This will provide you the chance to learn and refine winter driving techniques. We will set up a winter skid pad, which will let you test the limits of your vehicle and allow you to remain in control. There will also be a course for you to drive and have an opportunity to make your best-timed run. Awards will be given for several categories based on vehicle and tire type.

We will meet at the Ravenhill, 612A 6th Street in Georgetown at 9 AM for a brief, REQUIRED instruction session (a breakfast buffet will start at 8:30 AM). We will start at 9:30 AM at the lake. After the gymkhana, we will have awards. The entry fee of $45.00 includes the breakfast buffet, practice, gymkhana and prizes. Pre-registration and payment by December 15th is mandatory. LATE REGISTRATION WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!! The number of participants is limited to 25, so send in your registration NOW!! If you don’t want to drive, come on out and watch; we can always use some help. One more note, there is an ice driving school which is ongoing in Steamboat Springs; call Paul at the above number for information.

For more information, call Paul Schultz at 303-690-1943.



Here are some suggestions as to what to wear and bring to the Ice Gymkhana:

Dress warmly in layered clothing.

Bring a hat and gloves or mittens.

Sun block will help protect against reflected rays from the ice and snow.

Lip balm can be used to prevent chapped lips. Runners use Vaseline on cheeks and lips, so take a tip from them.

Waterproof winter boots for your tootsies, but wear them loosely so they won’t cut off circulation.

Bring your own lunch and plenty of hot drinks.

i want to go!!! but do you know if it is 45 a person or a car. do i have to pay another 45 for my girlfriend to come and watch or hang out in the car with. Are addition passengers allowed in the car during driving.

If this is the RMCBMWCCA event, it's per driver. If she just wants to hang out and watch there shouldn't be a fee. I did this a few years ago in the 330ci with snow tires. Even with studs I don't think it's a good idea with the M3 - this is about traction, not power.

Yah, power wont make any difference. AWD will own and AWD w/ studs will be even better... You guys should have fun.

and i think the limit is 25 cars so register early if you want a spot!
