For further information on this event and all NEQ events and requirements, please visit our website at www.NEQClub.org. This web site has much useful information, especially under the "Events" and "Web Articles" sections. You need not be an Audi Club member to participate. Lodging: Colchester is about 5 miles from Burlington where you will find a wide range of accomodations and great restaurants. What to bring: You will be outside all day so dress accordingly. Layers and wind blocking outer ware is recommended. Foot ware is a tough choice shoes or boots need to be warm but also you need to be able to feel and manipulate peddles. If your boots are too bulky you will get tangled in the pedals and perhaps create a situation that ends up in a snow bank. Consider two pair of boots one warm pair of pack boots and one pair of smaller insulated boots for driving. Helmets are required for this event. Your Car: You do not need snow tires to run this event. Unlike track events you will be able to leave things in the trunk of your car. Come with a full tank for gas since it is likely that your car will be running most of the day especially if it is very cold. Be sure your fluids are topped off and your lights and wipers are in good working order. Your car MUST HAVE NO FLUID LEAKS. You may want to drop your tires down a couple of pounds to increase traction. Of course snow tires are highly recommended but if you don’t have them you will go out and buy a set after this event even if you have all wheel drive. Snow tends to build up on wheels causing imbalance so an old snow brush or wheel brush to clear out the wheels is a good idea. Finally: This venue promises to be a great opportunity to improve your car control skills at relatively low speeds and drive on a frozen road course. We are looking forward to another great time on the ice. You will: Be amazed at what you can do with a car on the ice. Learn about car control dynamics and low friction handling techniques; Have more fun that you thought you ever could in a moving car! Stay tuned for more information.
