Ricky Booby,
With possible 80’s in Vegas on my mind I may be a little frigid with them questions.
The care taker of The Trout club lake has shown lots of interest in using the lake for some karting fun.
As any caretaker of anything there is a lot of details to work out before a bunch of buds are making snow cones. As you see in that Ebay add, tires could be the biggest challenge in keeping it fun and fast.
The spike chain tires on a higher HP kart is nothing but dangerous, I like them best, but I should limit my own madness and at least look at other forms of ice racers and learn.
IMO the screws would be enough and safer for side by side racing, which I am most interested in rather than timed events with saw blades and spikes. That said it’s still an unkown as to what would be best. I have been utilizing a $13.00 6″snow blower tire as it has enough tread depth to screw into with out puncher’s. O well too much to type, tires suck in all seasons.
I have heard of a studded kart tire but haven’t found the source.
“Can anyone do it?” Rick, I am living proof anyone can do it.
I think I can I think I can I think I can……

“Cold stick?” LOL, That’s what will probably happen to me the first run in Vegas. I don’t think my magic 55/2 will work at either place.
More air in cold air plus the thermal advantages of cold air intake, coupled with thin air @10,000ft. humm maybe the 55/2 would work.

Rainbow Falls is another possibility, they clear the snow off all ready.
