November 2012 - Rocky Mountain Region Porsche Club - Porsche ...

Georgetown Lake Saturday, January 19th
Eiskhana, the slickest event of the year, is a fun day to enjoy the unique
experience of driving on ice. It will be a great opportunity to test your car,
your tires and your skill.
The event will be run like an autocross; “cone chasing” will be required
when you are not driving. Since January in Georgetown is cold and often
windy, plan to dress in layers and wear warm boots, hats and gloves.
Runs will be timed for the purposes of bragging rights. Porsches are
of course welcome, but not required— feel free to bring your winter driver
with snow tires or studded tires.
No pre-tech will be required. Since speeds and g-forces are low, we
will not require top tech, but we highly recommend de-cluttering your car
before you drive.
Restroom facilities will be available, but there will be no
concessions or refreshments provided—although you could make
your own “snow cones.”
Hint from the school of (literal) hard knocks: The ice on Georgetown
Lake is very slippery. While your car won’t tip over, walking can
be hazardous. Wearing ice grippers on your feet will help you stay
upright. Upright is good.
There is no pre-registration; just show up in the morning
and register onsite.
