Mikey,
We(Rod, AJ & I) were going to get torn down but it wasn’t by an official, some road manager you are(we had a groupie).
I was alot of fun and we are looking forward to doing it again, BIG THANKS to Rod and AJ for making my 08 start out right 1 for 1.
Jayp.s. if anyone is interested in getting out on the ice anytime soon call me or Rod we will help out in any way we can
Here we go again, It is cold and the lakes are freezing. It is time to have some fun. Rod and I have secured a few places to play on ice this winter. If you are at all interested in this sick form of entertainment contact Rod (freezeman) or myself for details. :rotate:

[email protected]Picture test of some winter fun…..Crap it’s a little large and I messed up most of my other good pictures while trying to reduce them. O well, I am not smarter than a fifth grader.[attachment=0:3ib6yemt]ice racing 043.jpg[/attachment:3ib6yemt]
Look, he was going so fast it was impossible to get the whole kart in the picture?
Actually, he was running for his life so those pesky Jake boys would quit lapping him! 😥
Mother Nature has been working over time to get our tracks ready for fun. Are you ready?
Jan. 9th is the bud event again and I am sure we’ll have some practice days before and after that date.
Our local group doesn’t limit what you can run, so if you feel the need to get your shifter or tag on some ice don’t hesitate.Rodney,
I’d like to get in on this Ice racing madness, just sounds like too much fun. Parolin manufactures an ice tire for karting, as they do a celebrity style ice race every year. I’ll call the importer and see if they have any or can get any details on them. I have a feeling though that an Italian ice tire will carry a big price tag though.
Me too. Every year i say i wanna do this. That ice tire sounds interesting. Rodney, dont you just put a bunch of drywall screws in some old rain tires?
Greg, post a pic of them ice tires, I would like to see them. I am sure the best tires and spikes for ice racing would be
high priced yet unlike slicks, if they are treated well and only ran on ice they would last for a long time.I have had good results with the tires I have made to follow the rules of the Budweiser Event Races which require the
use of “THEIR” Silver Rocket Ice Screws that I purchase from http://www.icespeedway.com/ $80.00?
I use $15.00 13X5X6 snow hog snow blower tires mounted on 6″ wheels on all four corners. The taller narrow tire aids well with
ground clearance, higher VCG and side bite, but also causes bumper nerf bar and body clearance issues.
I have used these tires on booth my indoor Briggs racer and my First kart shifter as in the picture and they have held up to the
abuse so far.
Jay has been using plain rain tires with the silver rockets on his and his boys karts.
The screws are special chisel headed screws and work well for wheel to wheel action. Real spikes would be my choice but
I don’t think that would be the way to go unless we’re racing for blood.It is questionable as to using the Trout Clubs Lake for definite plans. The care taker Roy is getting hooked again on karts
as he has made his own home built kart using an old 340 cc snowmobile motor this summer and is waiting for the track to form.
I am a far weather ice racer and high mountain lakes don’t pay attention to race dates.
Another or more locations to do this is needed, Rainbow fails is a good possibility to as it is closer to the front range and
they all ready rent to bike and quad races there.I can help out, yet till the Bud Event is over with my efforts will be getting my little Briggs ice hockey rink oval racer ready to win.
I know at least Jay will have something up his sleeve for an attempt for his back to back wins.Jensen made the comment he wanted to head south for a little waterskiing fun, so I got a buddy that has agreed to pull him around the pond!
should be great entertainment!
Heck, I did that this morning heading off to the gym. You should have seen my 180 Degree parallel parking job… 😀
This Saturday evening is the race. The promoter, Gary has a few sets of american spaced wheels and tires
with silver rockets in them to rent for the race. I also have a set of metric wheels and tires on my shifter
that someone could rent. We will have a practice day at the Trout club this Thursday, weather permitting
if you would like to do that contact me.If anyone is interested in racing on the ice we have a local source that has LTO karts available for rent with a motor. Call or email me for more info.
Jay
