About this event
Audi Club Rocky Mountain presents Eiskhana 2020!. What is Eiskhana? It is a great way to enjoy the unique experience of driving on ice. This is a "cool" opportunity to test your car, your tires and your skills.
There will be a car control clinic with a modified "autocross". German marques are desired but not required; feel free to bring your winter driver with snow tires or studded tires. Pre-tech will not be required, but there will be a top-tech on site to ensure you have de-cluttered your car before you drive (you don't want anything possibly flying around in your car). Since speeds and g-forces are low, we will not be wearing helmets. Restroom facilities will be available at the lake. It may be very cold out on the ice, so dress warmly.
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 gripers on your boots will help you stay upright. Upright is good!!
PLAN FOR SKI TRAFFIC AND WEATHER!!! Last year traffic was extremely heavy, you may even want to stay in Georgetown or nearby.
We are also planning on lunch at Cooper's on the Creek this year following the event (included in entry fee).
On- site check-in will open at 9:00 AM. Check-in closes at 9:30 AM. THERE WILL BE NO WALK-UP REGISTRATIONS!!!
The mandatory (i.e. if you miss it, you don’t drive!) drivers meeting will begin at 9:45 AM. Registration will close promptly at 9:30 AM. LATE REGISTRATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
We also need some volunteers, so please contact the event chair if you would like to help.
