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.

Had a small window between saltings to get emissions and plate sticker taken care of, had no issues with road conditions.
A lovely day...

4 long months so far for my vette's beauty rest. My Camaro's out though, so that helps pass the time
