Ice Racing

I just registered for ice racing on the Boston chapter of the BMWCCA. Anyone else planning on doing ice racing?

It is great fun and in a very relaxed environment . You don't have to "race" but can
also just be a spectator

I have a few photos from a past ice race available at :

Yeah, that looks real safe. You may want to pick a better parking spot next time. Say one with less ice fractures

Actually the fractures developed while the car was parked
It actually quite interesting to see them develop under/next to your car (as long
as you don't see water coming through them...)

Something like this happens in Madison, WI at least once a year when I was in college / grad school over there.
