Default Audi Club Prairies Schools - CANCELLED!

Can't believe I am writing this. Actually it's shocking to think that Audi owners, the folks with quattro and snow tires and Miltek exhausts, couldn't support our winter driving schools. Amazing. We have 200 chapter members and only EIGHT put down a deposit for one of our two planned schools. Simply amazing. I guess folks have other priorities or get busy with work and kids and the like.

Perhaps we'll meet at the track this summer.

Default There's only so much you can learn on a frozen lake

but on a decent track with good instructors you can always learn something new.

Winter driving divides into sideways and not sideways. Once you get the hang of both techniques (the latter for when your wife is with you, the former when driving to work or pretty much anytime) there's not much else to learn that isn't better learned on a nice dry warm track.

Default If you are beyond the basics, maybe join a local sports car club. I watched a wingter event

held by the Calgary Sports Car Club just outside Race City a couple of years ago and it looked like a hoot.
