I never heard of a town called Atlanta, Michigan :o How far from Toledo? Maybe I could drive on up there if I can find some free time. Good luck ;)

Are they live-streaming Sno-Drift online again this year?

I caught an hour or so of Saturday coverage last year.

The cold sapped the video camera batteries quickly, and terrain prevented them from getting a good signal to the internet all the time, but it was fascinating. The announcer was very knowledgable and knew a lot about the drivers and cars, so coverage was interesting, even when there was no racing action.

Go Team Vibe!

So, how did it go?
I didn't find a comprehensive results page for the weekend when I checked back at the Sno*drift website late Saturday evening.

We had a blast at the rally. The car was awesome and had only one small issue( subframe bolt came loose). As for how we did for regional competitors the rally was broken up into 2 events Friday and Saturday. We placed 2nd on Friday and 1st on Saturday for our class. With both days combined times and national production car times included we place 2nd overall

If it wouldn't be too much trouble would any genvibe member be willing to scour the internet for videos of the car at the event and post links to the videos or pics. Our group only got a few videos and we are looking for more.
here is what i have found so far(adding them as i find them)

That's AWESOME! So a subframe bolt came loose. Any Negative effects on the handling/performance?

Just a clunk... I had the subframe down when I pulled the sway bar out and due to how rusted the bolts came out I antisiezed them going in... so I think it came loose because of that
