it would be a grat idea, but what kind of tires do you run???

a stick will work better as you can force a high gear with less power, but slips less, so your move faster.

need to post racing rules

I know the old Saab 900's are great on the ice, and agree front wheel drive is better for it. For the tires put screws through from the inside out and be sure that when you screw them in you don't overtighten them and strip the threads you've created in the tire. If you overtighten and strip the threads created in the rubber they'll leak, but if you get them set all the way down without stripping, you'll have no problems. If you want more specifics on the screws, send me an e-mail or pm.
