Went to check out some ice racing today, grabbed a crappy cellphone pic of hotshot1's RG and my RR together. Unfortunately about halfway there, I remembered my DSLR was still sitting at home. No action shots this weekend...maybe in a couple of weeks.

 

Pretty sick, fellas!

 

Jealous! We have no ice yet.

 

nice

 

Ice Racing! When and where?

 

Dude... come on up! Every Sunday in Oshkosh while the ice is thick enough. All you need is some cash and a helmet. Looks to be about 2.5 hours for you, though...

You have PM

 

thatt looks extreemlyy fun

 

Ra ice skating race

 

The ice is fun...here is me locally. Set the camera on a tripod and just set it shooting...

 

^that look fun

 

It was...interesting. It isnt like trying to drift in a snowy parking lot, as there is no traction at all. Also, the 0-60 time is obscenely long due to lack of traction. Studded tires arent legal in Ontario, so it was just slippage. That said, getting up to 120 on the ice is a thrill!

Another thing to note...if all 4 wheels are slipping equally (and in a straight line), the traction control doesn't kick in....LOL

 

A lot of the guys here run with home-made studded tires:

 

i never even new there was such thing as studed tires

 

Those are some mean looking tires!

You can buy studded tires, but they are expensive. Or, you can take your bald summer tires and make your own. They make a weird velcro sound on the ice...especially the "drywall screw" method.
