Default 964 ice racing pictures

I saw these pictures on AP's website. This car was a recently completed overhauled project car...and now it's ice racing (again). I love it. Looks so fun...

Anyone on the forum currently racing their 64 on the ice?
(probably much easier on the car than a regular asphalt track??)





Here's what it looked like this summer. A man that's not afraid to use his baby.
(no affil., just impressed)

That would be a blast to do !! I know the Porsche ICE & SNOW experience in Finland is going on this week, that's definitely going on the bucket list.

I agree, and think Chris Harris lurks on this forum...
He saw this thread and answered all of our questions about ice driving with a 911.
What a sweet video, a classic.

Great detail about that in the video. One of my favorite parts in fact.
Fantastic dialog between the two. Like they were hanging out, talking cars. Love it.

If i would have found a 964 I would have run one this winter in Michigan, but I ended up buying an M coupe instead...
