It was useless on the ice but the owner has a good sense of humor.

That’s an amazing license plate.

It probably drifted beautifully.

Sadly it's not a real plate, just one the owner puts on it for track and autocross events.

It turns out you can't completely kill stability control on these so it was behaving super inconsistently when trying to drift it.

The real MA SPD BOAT plate is probably on a beat up 2000 Chevy Yukon that once hauled a pair of jet skis.

What a bummer. Is it a base model?

Im not sure of the exact trim level but it’s got a hemi  and a stick. It also has the Brembos.

Damn, that's disappointing. Wonder if they knew that beforehand.

Oh cool. I’m planning to take the Cayman to a similar event at the lake I mentioned St. Paddy’s Day. How is it? Do you keep traction control on  or off ? I need to research.

She knew it wasn't going to be fast on ice (it's got 275 width unstudded tires an a hemi) but nobody was expecting the unpredictable nature in which the disabled stability control would kick in.

Tons of fun. I have to keep traction control off if I want to be able to move. Otherwise it cuts in so aggressively it stalls when you disengage the clutch. Other than that  just have fun. In my opinion ice trials are by far the best way to learn your car.

That’s the plan! Learn the balance of my car, but maybe pull some epic drifts. Safely.

The real SPD BOAT plate doesn’t exist because MA refuses to allow 7 characters no matter who you are or how much you plead.

...ask me how I know.

Were you trying to get “Co driv r” plates for one of your cars?

I was wondering if the video you posted to FB was Malletts. We were set up about .5 miles further out than where the rally guys have been running their course for the last few weeks.

I stumbled on this just now. I live near Newfound Lake. Who’s organizing the event over there? Should be plenty of ice, it’s been super cold right up to this week. Although, it’s supposed to get very warm this week which could be a problem for the surface conditions....

Yeah I hope it's ok with the warm-up. I believe it's PCA so it may be regulated. But I don't think they'll check your certs lol
