I was thumbing through a recent copy of “Autoweek” magazine and ran across an interesting Colorado related article called, Snowball. I believe the activity took place mid-winter and it featured an exotic sports car, the Audi R8 being driven along the Colorado Grand Rally route that takes place every early fall, September or so. (Which if you’re in the Colorado area, should check out. It features pre-1961 cars of various categories.) The route starts in Durango and goes through Telluride and on to Crested Butte.
The article takes a modern day Audi R8 and follows the same route, but with a twist of snow. It was a short snippet of an article, but it had an impact as I thought, man, that’s one gutsy trip considering they’ve been measuring their snow fall in FEET, not inches. They did something I’m not sure I’d really attempt, drive a $100K plus car through twisting ice/snow covered roads in the southwestern Rocky Moutains of Colorado in the winter. It’s treacherous to say the least, but had to be a blast if you have the right “stones”.
