Ice racing Northwest In, Chicagoland "Jan 24th race"

**tecat-z** · 10-26-2009, 09:59 PM

Last week i ran into the race organizer for ice racing on Cedar Lake in Northwest Indiana. Last winter was the first organized effort in nearly 20 years on this beautiful lake. Problem was, last year it was an AMA sanctioned event. Which of course meant no trikes. Well, he explained the AMA cost them considerable cash for endorsement, while preventing the "occasional" rider from participating due to no card. Including us 3wheeler people. So, they decided to go ahead without AMA guidelines, but will still follow the general rules. He told me that our three wheelers are welcome to come and race as long as we have 6 or more machines to form our own class. They really had a first class event last year with an awesome 1.5 mile 'road course', and the common fast oval. There's a very nice 2 story lodge overlooking the lake that has all necessary food and drinks one would ever want. If you are in the Chicagoland area, this is a great opportunity for us to go have some fun, and shake off some of the winter blues. If anyone is interested in making a showing, post it. Hopefully we can make it happen......

yeah John, when the weather gets cold, I would put a hotter spark plug, and richen it up a bit

You might want to take the extended swingarm off too!

**sbjones73** · 11-02-2009, 12:21 AM

ok anyone got a set of tires that i can stud for cheap? becuase i really want to make it to some racing this winter!!!!!!!!

**sbjones73** · 11-02-2009, 02:40 AM

i know that was a pretty rediculious question, but hey, i had to ask!!!!!!!

**seantrx250r** · 11-04-2009, 02:26 PM

they do have a non-studded class it was only for quads and it was pointless. turf tamers are good to stud up.just make sure you have a tether kill switch. so come on out and have a good time with a bunch of good friends and good food.I believe it is 25 to race and 7 to get in.

**sbjones73** · 11-06-2009, 07:12 PM

any regs on studs? and i am new to ice racing, what studs for turf tamers would work best? (length?)
