Ice Racing

I was going to try and sum up what’s fun about ice racing (or more commonly, ice riding), but that’s already been done wonderfully by Tammy (aka BlndeBmbr) at the dieseljo.com website:

The first requirement for ice riding is the desire to have fun. Egos are not necessary nor are they tolerated. The objective is to get everyone home in one piece after a great day of fun. Ice riding is an event to be enjoyed by all people of all ages. A simple reminder that everyone is astride two chainsaws brings most people into line. Any ego-maniac wishing to attend should think twice as he/she may be asked to leave.
