For gearheads, wintertime means more than just snowball fights, ice storms and Bill Cosby sweaters. It’s time for ice racing.
Allen Skillicorn is a fan of these cold-weather competitions for a simple reason: They deliver good, cheap racing. Plus, the thrill of sliding sideways is hard to capture at an autocross or track day.

It is incredibly fun! Like any hoonning there are risks, like leaving plastic bits (fender liners, splash guards and the like) in the snow banks around the edges, a suspension POUNDING (but not always), oil starvation, snow/ice incrustations on the rims that can rattle your teeth on the way home after. That said, one of the cheapest and most fun ways there is to learn car control.
The ice is fun! I'd never get through winter without it.
