February 14, 2010 Ice Driving Recap

It was another fun day on the lake! We had a beautifully sunny winter day, which didn’t give way to the wind and icy snow until the event was just about wrapped up. 26 drivers came out to participate and a number of spectators stopped in throughout the day. Thanks to the fresh, deep snow almost everyone wound up taking a turn (or two, or three..) in the snow banks. Thank you to our own Rick Grothe for his towing services — he definitely had a busy day.

Sorry folks, we had a glitch in the lap timing program so those of you who were on the course right after the lunch break might not have timed laps. There were also a few eager drivers who didn’t wait for the thumbs-up before heading out (we can only track five vehicles at a time.)

Here are the timing results:

January 31, 2010 Ice Driving Recap

It was a cold but sunny day on the ice for our combined adult and teen event. The ice was extremely slick, creating quite a challenge as well as some good fun! We had nearly a dozen teens come out to sharpen their winter driving skills. It was great to see everyone progressing throughout the day.

Michael Haggar earned fastest time on non-studded tires. Josh Jutting in his Del Sol with chained front tires took second best time of the day, and Jack Enos took best time overall in his GTI with studded tires.

Thank you to everyone who participated and special thanks to our crew of instructors and volunteers who came out to lend a hand.

Timed results are below:
