Come out and join in the fun at RMR's Eiskhana! It is a great way to enjoy the unique experience of driving on ice. This is a "cool" opportunity to test your car, your tires and your skills.
There will be an "autocross" with loosely timed runs and a skid pad. Porsches are desired but not required; feel free to bring your winter driver with snow tires or studded tires. Pre-tech will not be required, and there will be no top-tech on site, but we highly recommend de-cluttering your car before you drive. Since speeds and g-forces are low, we will not be wearing helmets. Restroom facilities will be available at the lake. It may be very cold out on the ice, so dress warmly.
Hint from the school of (literal) hard knocks. The ice on Georgetown Lake is very slippery. While your car won't tip over, walking can be hazardous. Wearing ice gripers on your boots will help you stay upright. Upright is good!!
PLAN FOR SKI TRAFFIC AND WEATHER!!!
