Default Any tracks open in December to run car?

Just had a Supercharger installed in my C6 and was hoping to legally push it somewhere this weekend in NY, NJ,PA?? Any 1/4 tracks or ovals or even road courses open?

Do you have all seasons on the car? Even if you did not a good idea roads are too cold now. You might do more harm than good.

There's some good winding roads up here in Putnam county, not sure where you are. Took my C5 out tonight actually - 530hp at the wheels keeps your hands and feet busy when it's 40 degrees out!

I had run flats also..They are bolony skins with 600 rwhp..They are dangerouse with 600 rwhp..They break lose alot. Try mt streets..I was going to try hoosier r6 or a6 for the street. Because they are sticky and light weight.

When the temp is below 55ish, R6/A6 cannot get hot enough to be sticky. We use R6/A6 at different tracks, normally 55* or above. I have 100-110 less rwhp than you and I can't use R6/A6's below 55*, and I actually don't know what will work at those temps and below.

Default Runflats

Thanks. I am going to look into another set of rims and tires for 1/4 mile stuff but the run flats for me work well at Pocono on the big track.

I think Lime Rock park in CT will be hosting some Winter events. Not sure if the track will be open for laps of just the skid pad or upper road course section. Check their web site for a schedule of events. If I can find a link I'll update this post.
Try this link. Lime Rock Park will have Winter Autocross dates.
