before I put this up on other forums, I wanted to make sure people locally would be interested. If it flops and people drive from Minneapolis area, that might be the last time we have a chance to pull from that group.
Trucks are welcome. If you go off the track (with the exception of the main straightaway), you will go out into a field/grass/snow. The exception on the main straightaway is a concrete barrier.
Like any automotive activity, there is risk involved. You could hit an ice chunk, or you could hit a hardened snow bank and crack a bumper/fender/etc... It is ICE racing, meaning the main ingredient is water pumped from the river as the driving surface. The guy stated that with the river water comes a lot of sand/debris, so it is far from a 'skating rink', but still ICE. That being said, you sign a waiver to race and if anything happens, you and your insurance company are responsible.
As far as details of time trials or competition goes, that is stuff we can vote on/iron out after we have decided that this has enough demand. As of now I have 5 people that sound 'interested'. I would like to see at least 15 from Fargo area before I take the next step. I will let this thread play out over the next week and decide mid/late next week.

Is there a date in mind?There would be 6-8 of them. They will be in the afternoon/evening of their regular 'rubbins racin' ice races (after they are done). They have lighting out there that can/will be used if this ends up happening.

If its anything like we run in Underwood, you better make sure you dont want to ever drive this car on the street again. Cuz your shit WILL GET HIT!!!! Its a blast to do. But its a very purpose built car. If they allow awd, you'll be a step above the norm cuz they outlawed them years ago locally and they only allow certain tires as well. Blizzaks, Nokians, and Ipikes need not apply.

This is NOT a side by side 'race', if we decide that it even turns into a competition, it will be setup very similar to an auto-x time based ranking system. 1 car at a time, fastest car wins...Maybe a FWD/RWD/AWD/TRUCK classes.
