Billy Dagwood Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Does it get cold enough every year? I really want to do it, but a few of my friends think i'm crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Pen Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 im not to sure about that area (im not from vermont and only visit a few times a year) but it kind of looks like a bay on lake champlain?? im not sure about a body of water that big but ponds down by me definatly are safe enough for the lgt... id be concerned earlier in the season but as soon as there is a good 8" plus of ice you should be fine.. the ice around me gets to be about 2.5' thick during the winter.. we have fires on the ice regularily and ice fish (great way to check thickness of ice btw) and we have had multiple trucks cars snowmobiles atvs etc all on the ice at the same time without any worry.. i say go for it and have fun unstudded 4x4 class looks fun axel spins on ice all day long as far as risk besides falling through unless there are temporary walls you could hit, or a body of water with vegetation coming through the ice (trees dont move) i dont see any way it would be bad for your car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taskforcefreddy Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 They have this every year where I grew up (Merrill, WI). As a matter of fact, my town claims to hold the World Ice Drag Championships and you will see 800hp rail cars go down the 1/8th mile track. My dad always threatened to put my car in it while I was gone (he used to run a rail car back in his younger days) and it's actually a lot of fun.

Aczwild Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 The reason I said be wary is there are still rutted imperfections on the ice. Best time to go is when its been sunny for the week so the ice is nice and smooth JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

taskforcefreddy Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 ^^ Very true. And I've seen bad things happen when a car launches, hits a rut, and loses control. In between the different classes they would "resurface" the ice via a fire hose. They spray it down and 20 minutes later it's frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Dagwood Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 ooooooh good tip! thanks guys! I wonder if they run the studless classes first in order to mitigate those circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taskforcefreddy Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 yup... and then they run the big ones at the end because that's what everybody comes to see. Just like a normal drag racing event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
