From the Subaru we wish we could have driven up to Mad River Glen back in 1978 department comes Ken Block’s tread-powered Snocatbaru STI. The 0-60 Magazine crew informs us the modern STI was fitted with Matttracks treads at all four corners by the gang over at Vermont Sports Car. Today’s handy Vermont trivia fact is that it takes over forty gallons of maple tree sap to make one gallon of genuine Vermont Maple Syrup. While the Snocatbaru may in fact be the perfect vehicle for sap bucket gathering and trips on snow covered skidder roads out to the sugar shack, Mr. Block has more lofty plans for his tread-equipped rally car. Read all about it and watch a video of the Snocatbaru in action over at 0-60mag.com.
Mad River Glen is reporting Fast Grass snow conditions.

Makes me wonder how that added height would effect cornering stability.
