How we fight cabin fever. Yesterday on the lake, me in the van and BUCK434 in his 99SE. Three classes, 4WD, FWD, RWD.
I won Rear wheel drive on Blizzak WS15's, and BUCK434 on his OEM Toyo AO5's looked real good in his first ice autocross and picked a tough class to run in. Kind of why I left my Maxima at home. :-)

So where in IA do you live? I am in Ankeny. Brian bought the 99 Se-L from me 2 months ago. I ws going to head up there with my 95 max but had family engagement.

Actually, I live in Des Moines....

and drove up to Little Wall lake. If the lake stays hard, there should be another event on Feb 18th. Brian mentioned buying the 99SE from you. Nice car.

That leaves me with a 95 Max GXE. I miss the suspension of the SE! Well if my schedule permits, I'd like to attend. Doubt I could do as well as Brian as I'm an amateur.

Hello guys, let me tell you those who ran on snow tires had a huge advantage!! The front wheel drive cars with them beat me by almost 7 seconds. That is why Sunday night a checked tire rack and priced some Blizzak's for the next time. If the weather still looks fairly cold a week before the next event look out I am showing up with brand spankin new blizzak's!!! I also have a set of Kuhmo autocross tires in the garage waiting for the warmer weather!! I am also attending a Porsche high performance diriving school this summer, so look out I will be coming on hard!!
