GLQC Ice Out at Anderson Motorsport – Apr 25th

On April 25 Glacier Lakes members, friends and families will gather at Anderson Motorsport in Chanhassen for a cook-out, door prizes and car show. This annual event draws out a crowd as we celebrate spring (and hopefully ice off the lakes). Keith, Susan and Chris join the club in hosting the inaugural social event of the club’s season. We’ll get started around 11:00am and wrap-up around 4:00pm.  Polish your car, grab something to grill and join us for a great time.

Come join us at Edina Grill at 6:30pm.  Please RSVP to mgottwalt@gmail.com so we can give management a heads up to ensure we have enough space.

Ice Driving – Feb 22nd Recap

Our last Ice Driving Event of the season turned out to have the best conditions yet. The warm weather early in the week smoothed out the ice and the 4″ of fresh powder snow we got two days earlier gave us a way to define a new and faster course. There was a great showing from the Subaru gang who also turned in the best non-studded tire times. We also took some times around the oval. Thanks to all who came out and enjoyed a wonderful day of classic Minnesota winter ice driving.

Special thanks to Keith Anderson, Rick Grothe, and Mark Gottwalt for organizing and executing the ice driving events this year.

Timed results are below.

Ice Driving – Feb 8th Recap

What a beautiful day it was!!  Sunshine, no wind, and temps in the mid-30s.  The ice was a bit rough, but all had a great time.  Tom Moran took home bragging rights for fastest time on non-studded tires in his new silver A3.  Thanks to everyone for coming out and hope you all learned a bunch. 

Here are the timing results:

Ice Driving – Jan 25th Recap

Hi folks,

Sorry for the delay on this one.  We had another wonderful day of ice driving on Lake Cynthia, MN with a wide variety of cars and tires (as you can see from the timing results).  Nick Meyer, in his blue Subaru, took honors for fastest time without studded tires.  We had a few visitors drop in on us… literally.  Four small planes did a fly by and then landed on the lake and came over to chat.  Very cool.  I wasn’t there personally so if anyone wants to add more, or better yet has some pictures to share, by all means please do so.

Here are the timing results:
