Ice racing is an interesting sport. You put a car, usually a little banged up, on a track of ice and see how fast it can get to the finish. If you have ever driven on ice then you know that it is not a matter of just hitting the gas pedal. That could just send you into a spin. You also have to take into account that the other cars could be sliding your way and to get out of the way is a tricky business. All in all the cars were not moving very fast and often they were going slow forwards and faster sideways! There was a lot of ice vs. car finessing going on. I was also impressed that there seemed to be a very diverse set of drivers. Women, men, boy, girls, old, young. I didn't get a picture but I thought it quite amusing to see a man with a long beard, farmer overalls, and John Deer cap as one of the drivers :)
