The staff at Lime Rock Park says that the winter autocross days are “For drivers looking for maximum value for entertaining, spirited driving in winter conditions, with some instruction and a relaxed curriculum. The cost is $350 per driver, and each event is managed by four pro driving coaches. Note: For maximum fun, we increased the length of the day from four to six hours!”

Or you could RallyCross in the snow with your local SCCA chapter and pay $35 for the entire day . . . . you know, just in case you didn't want to pay ten times as much to do the exact same thing.

Let's be happy that somewhere in the US is doing anything racing related, And it's kind of affordable.

I'll see your 35$ scca rally and raise you "back road shenanigans in the snow" for 0$.

Except your back road shenanigans aren't timed or sanctioned events where you can meet friends, crush them in competition, and win a plastic trophy.

This x10.

Also BSR at Summit Point runs a winter autocross series (which takes place on the tracks themselves) for like $60 - though not sure if they actually do it in the snow.

Lime Rock's Winter Autocross is actually much more like a Winter Performance Driving program and much less like an autocross. I think that they could have chosen a better name for it.

This is the only situation I can think of where I would prefer the weather from up north.

My local SCCA (Columbus IN) usually has an "all-weather" event the last weekend in February, which is often snow.
