Now that's "how you supposed drive"! Steer it with the throttle. I guess there's something to be said for having those Blizack tires?

Very cool, thanks Dom!:thumbsup:

Looks like my trip back from Van Horn Texas in the snow where I did a white knuckle Doughnut with the Z on my ride home lol.

Seriously he has talent and owners faith in his driving abilities

Joe, I was thinking the same thing. The only difference was he was on the road by himself.

Great driving, Looks like he changed to a snow tire in the faster runs.

If you take a good look at the tires, they cut channels perpendicular to side walls to create a paddle.

True of the wider tires & wheels he started out on, the later are different wheels and narrower tires, than he finishes on the wider ones again.

This would make a GREAT winter Olympic event.

Reminds me of driving in winter in Iowa.

This should be required for drivers up here. I learned a lot of driving dynamics in the Winter and on loose gravel roads. Helps you learn that it doesnt help to brake hard when you get into trouble.

That's how they were driven prior to wings being implemented! Up until then they powered into turns and controlled drift with throttle. Just like the kids have learned to do today with their drifting!! An old driving technique reborn!
