I have been tempted to try those RA winter events. I always use up tire budget for slicks instead of treads sigh. Ice racing also looks like a blast.

Salt wise this winter has had occasional rain and a lot of times the roads are great. Sometimes I do see a light dust of it on the rims though.

A lovely day...
