On the West Coast, winter brings its own unique challenges – typically less snow and ice, but plenty of rain and wind. As we transition into the cooler months, it is important to ensure your track car is properly stored and protected for the season ahead.

If you have indoor storage, you are already ahead of the game. Still, it is worthwhile adding a few extra steps to your routine: use a fuel stabilizer, keep your battery on a tender, and make sure your tires are cared for to avoid flat-spotting over long periods of rest. Investing in tire cradles or swapping to a spare set of wheels can go a long way in preserving your rubber through the winter.

For those storing vehicles outdoors, the elements call for a few more precautions. A high-quality car cover and desiccant packs will help keep moisture at bay, while checking seals and giving the car the occasional short roll will prevent water damage and tire issues.

The beauty of West Coast winters is their unpredictability – those rare sunny, mild days that invite you to take the car out for a quick drive. With the right preparation, your track car will be ready to fire up and hit the road whenever those perfect winter moments appear.
