Warning: dirty pics inside...

I got the car a little dirty before too much snow dumped up here and kept me from hitting my favorite rally road.

Does anyone think I have a chance at winning Dirty Impreza of the Month on dirtyimpreza.com? Here's a few crappy pics...and some pics of the road.

Thanks, but the pics don't do it much justice. These were the only open spots. The rest is windy narrow curves with a dropoff on one side and a bank on the other.

Oh and off my own topic...but for those of you who ride Dodge Ridge...my overshooting of "face" under chair 3. I miss my landing by 15+ feet

And one from under chair 8. These are the only cliffs my gf could get to, so I can't really share any of the really exciting stuff.

Lol nice pic. Mud is a little bit more forgiving that snow. Snow is just slippery and unforgiving. If you have traction your good, if you think your getting stuck dont lift on the throttle and keep going thats my best advice for mud haha.

Oh wow. Nice slide there. This pic reminds me of seeing Justin on one of the snow drive we did a long time ago. I look in the rear view and he just slid straight into a snowbank up at the snowpark on 108.

Depends what kind of snow. If it's a good thick packed snow, it's very nice and grippy...the best IMO. But if it's slushy, or frozen slush, then you might as well go ice-skating cause it's slippery as hell. Mud can be the same way, depending on the consistency. I'm making this way too scientific...just drive and look out for the varying conditions.

You're very right though, don't lift off the throttle. That's the biggest mistake lots of people make. What I always do is dip my nose into the turn keep my eye on the inside and exit of the turn and use my throttle to control my handling.
