Nurburgring in the snow

[Ralphy]

I did an interstate drive once, in about 6" of snow. Almost blizzard conditions, I drove at app. 70 MPH. No one was on the road near me, otherwise I would have never done such a thing. Drifting thru sweeping turns, I clicked off ten miles pretty fast. The positraction without snow tires worked well. It was intense! That was a different era and I was young and stupid.

Another time we went to upstate New York to ski, in built a 69 big block Vette. Heavy snow all the way there. With snow tires my buddy never used 4th. First time I ever saw 25 foot high snow packed, with only 5 feet of the telephone poles showing. Saw a garbage truck with a plow attached to the side of the compactor. Hmm... that's how!

Jim I have no idea how you stayed on the road!

Road was just like this.
Ever have you eyes freeze open?

That will sharpen the old driving skills. Good grief. Hope he had a change of briefs when he got back to the pits.

I always loved driving on ice and snow. I miss it.
