For those of you out here on the East Coast that have a winter toy to play with.......
We had our first event this past Saturday, the snow storm prior to the event made for excellent track conditions, it was a real blast watching Dave Mirra drift around the course with his WRX with rooster tails of white powder trailing behind him.
