Awsome 
although I think it's easier to drive that sideways in ice & snow than in the dry or wet, as speeds involved are much lower.
I'm having a go at Ice racing in Sweeden Jan '06' so I'll know for sure & probably have to eat my own words
(with a dash of snow 
)
ps - any tips from the pro's on does and donts in the competitive enviroment?
(have a pretty good ability at drifting in the dry & wet which i hope will be usefull)

Do you mind me asking where you are going ice racing in Sweden?
no not al all....... errrr....... borlange near stockholm?
day starts off with Go kart racing on ice with spiked tyres to familiarise with technique, Evo 6s in the afternoon, 6 x people I believe with timed laps.......

PS Laurence, can't wait to get back over to Adenau asap this year! Just waiting for the NS to publish their opening times before unleashing my credit card on the ferry companies!
Fergus old boy !!!

Got a 220hp Caterham now, and just having a full cage fitted as we speak, so should be a fair bit faster than the pug!!! 
Glenn - I already have the 750 euros earmarked, don't worry! Need to now decide if I should buy a trailer. hmmm....
Trailering my be a wise move for a Caterham mate, should be a blast round there though.
How many laps will you need to make the season ticket break even ?, may consider this
myself for next year.

Assuming they keep the cost of a single lap at EUR 12, then you'll need to do 750/12 = 63 laps or more and you're saving money. 3 good weekends, maybe 4 depending on traffic/closures, etc and you're away. I did 6 trips last year and about 117 laps (from memory!). Each lap was about 1/2 price. You also have the luxury of entering/exiting the circuit down at Breidschied and not feeling like you've 'wasted' a lap. Can be handy when going for lunch! Will also be handy for the new gaff!

Yes, noticed that entrance at Briedscheid when looking at the new place, must be a bit of a leap of faith getting on there though
as there doesn't seem to be much run on after the barrier ??
Especially with everyone hooning across the (Adenau ?) bridge
