Hey, the place with the call center for that ISP that I can't mention! I worked for another company that provided support for that same ISP

At least TBAY has ice racing.

I realize my number of posts don't count in the thousands, and my simple post isn't exciting to read, I just thought someone may enjoy the in car footage of our iceracing. We don,t canoe on frozen lakes we just race on them.

I used to run a SAAB 96 icer. What a hoot! After a few years of laying on ice to fix a car, cutting my fingers up and not knowing it because it was so stinkin' cold, then when a crowd shows up and the ice sinks a bit, you're laying in an inch of wicked cold water; too old.

I'll have a beer at the awards ceremony.

Nice photos Nistec. However not nice enough to make me build a car.

Like most racing,things have changed since the '96 days. Many have enclosed trailer, most others have open trailers. There are heaters to get warm, welders and generators are common.

Sorry about the canoe comment, I missed the TBAC logo. Ice racing motorcycles always looked like a good way to rearrange your facial features back in the sixties. Thanks for the pictures!

Even in NH people look at me funny when I say Ice racing is a hoot.

Just an update, the season ended this weekend with 5 races and a 50 minute enduro, we dominated the weekend and accumulated enough points to take the season championship. Now to plan for next year.

Congrats on the season,we have 1 more weekend left here(land based series in Minden Ontario).

I'd say plans for next year should include slightly stiffer springs.

You'll need to log in to post.
