Last weekend i was up in Minden, if you don't have a clue as to where that is, do not be discouraged, i doubt many do. Hick town in all its glory, they don't even have a single intersection light, and, according to an inside source, there are exactly 8 street lights in the entire city. There are at least 10 in my office parking, that's how sad it is.
They have there whats known as the "fairgrounds", a place where i assume these people come to meet and enjoy life :|, during the winter months a big flat chunk of it gets flooded with water, which turns to ice, and then they create snow banks and carve out a race track.
People get the most ass backwards cars, and go nuts. All you really need is a car with an engine that wont blow from staying at 6000 RPM for 10 laps. Not a big feat for a modern car, but a 15-20 year old rust bucket it can get a bit more difficult.
Hitting is not allowed, but rubbing is racing, and since people are on ice there are always small collisions, that's why people get cars they couldn't give two craps about.
i got to ride shotgun in 3 races, so a total of 30 laps, plus i took pictures and generally had a good time.
I just may do this next year, as this is the safest, and cheapest form of racing in Ontario. Most people that do this, trailer in their beaters for the first race, and are allowed to keep them at the fairgrounds until the last race, so you dont have to worry about constantly towing your junk casket.
If this is something that may intrest you, please contact me for more information.
