Spectators are welcome! What's an Ice-dice? Think lapping on a 2KM long road course on a frozen lake. :) This is a blast, winter tires are a good idea and warm clothes. Lots of runs, very fast, very fun! Hope to see some of you out there.

That must be it, since there has only ever been 1 Rob in existence. :dunno:
This is a good opportunity for everyone on here that has mouths faster than their cars to come show how they pwn everyone with their mad tyte gran turismo 3 skills. :thumbup:
For $20 you can't beat it. |
|
|
| AudiInProgress |
Sure I could.
I could go home and beat off... That doesn't cost $20.00
:lol: :lol:
Sorry to take your thread off track. It sounds like a great experience, and something I very well may find myself attending. |

An avalon will do fine. We've had LS400's, etc come out and do well. It's mostly driver that makes the difference in these types of situations.
Yes, helmets are required, standard auto-x rules apply. Hopefully I see you out there. |

Not too worried about the avalon. It is my daily driver that I have no issues bagging out on a track! My philosophy is why buy a car and not have fun with it. :D
I will try to make it out with my helmet, warm clothes, shovel, and some hot chocolate. :lol:

This weekend? Honestly? I'd be surprised if you didn't get at least a dozen laps. |

Update (from NASCC)
February 9 has now been CANCELLED because it's too darned cold.
(This had better bloody well kill off all those Pine Beetles, at least)
BUT We're going ahead with the race on Sunday, February 10.
AND, we're going to run a “Solo” Event on Saturday Feb 9 -- organized by Matt Sinfield. Everyone is welcome. Bring your race car (street cars too). Get in some practice time and work out the bugs. |

Thanks, but that's what I posted in the first post? An Ice-Dice is a "Solo" event, and I am said organizer (Matt). Hope to see you out.
That is to say,
THE SOLO EVENT TOMMOROW IS NOT CANCELLED, BRING YOUR CARS AND HELMETS! |

Ah okies... I didn't know an Ice-dice is a solo. I wish I could come out, but I don't think my Jimmy is allowed. |

|

| kevito_ |
| What time does it start? Do you have a rough schedual? Also, do I need a race liscence for the solo or just for the racing (I don't have mine yet, lol)? |

| Ice-Dice on Sunday too or just Saturday? |
|
|
| rexxrally |
You don't need a license for the Ice Dice Solo on Saturday.
Sunday is Ice Racing, for fully-prepared (ie, caged) race cars. |
|
|
| kevito_ |
| What time does the whole thing start? :P |
|
|
| NYGACR |
Matt will be there around 10:30. The event starts at 12.
As mentioned, no competition liscence required. |

| I would have liked to go but I have to work at 5 ... kinda pointless to run all the way out for a few hours then leave early :( |

It was a fun time had by all.
I will post some pics.
The last 3 corners took me for a ride. I got better near the end, but there is something about hitting a snowbank at 80lm/hr and not messing up your car! :lol:

haha... my driving was a joke. I had to play the grip game for 80% of the course and a little drifto in the chicane. Good times... I was surprised that I could get through the entire course... until the end when the chewed up line by the studded cars started to get slick :S
I went to get gas, came back and it was wrapped up. Next time, I guess.
I would recommend this to anyone! Just make sure you brake at the end of the straightaway, right Mike? :P |

| I was happy to see you guys out there today! For those interestd there will be a full day of races to watch tommorow, they are exciting! :) |
|

| kevito_ |
I gotta pack for work tomorrow :S
Otherwise I'd be down to see them! |

It wrapped up about 4:00 pm ish. I put on almost 30 km/s on the track. Well worth the money spent! :D
Here is a link to some pics I posted.
