Way cool video. I get a feeling the Trax don't like bare pavement, because of the way he slowed way down on the bare pavement portion and in garage. Like CrotchRocket mentioned, I too was amazed of how they handled the sideways torque in the corners without derailing. Still; on a 100% snowy environment, it would be fun (until you hit a snow-covered hidden tree stump; ouch). Although, it looks very expensive $$$$$.

Ken Block never fails to amuse me. Kinda cool seeing what the trax would look like on my STi though.

I'm sure that there are other manufacturers, but I think Mattracks has been around for a while. I have no idea how they keep the tracks from spinning around, but they've apparently worked it all out.

If you notice they don't list prices anywhere. I guess it's the old saying: If you have to ask you can't afford it." I've heard estimates that go from $10k to $14k a set.
