I thought about them also. But I dont have much tread and they would loosen up. Bolts are stronger..

[Trafik Jamz]

I'm in as well.

I'd love to but I don't have a car to run. Almost makes me want to find a beater Subaru just for this.

This just makes me want to nab me a up a cheap 300zx.

How come you only 7 guys want to ice race? I know there has to be like 20 guys with wrx/sti/evos on here.. And all you ricers with your honda civics come out and race!

Jason how about 7 guys pay $40.00 instead of 15 guys @ $20.00

I'd be in for that, maybe make some vids and get peoples attention to get a higher car count after an event or two.

[YellowEvo]

I said I'd be interested in it, and wouldn't have problem sayin i'd attend 4 events if i knew how bad it's gonna hurt my car.. but if they let it go thru, i am planning on being there sunday. Hopefully it isn't to bad, and then i can say more..

[PSI2HI]

Got my beater miata running last night so i'll be there as long as i dont run into any further issues. Prob be working on some tires tonight.

I don't know if it is a money thing, or a number of people that are driving this guy. I have no doubt that after a few races that more would come and check it out.... I will await his call and see what he says. I cannot make next Sundays race regardless which sucks...

Tonight Tufte and I tested out his homemade ice tires on his stock 1990-91 Mazda Miata. I think they have about 100 self-taping screws with nuts on the outside.. We mounted them and didn't leak any pressure off @ 40psi I was suprised because we didn't use any Slime or tire sealer.

We didn't take any pics so sorry about that..

After testing we decided that a RWD would need more than 100 on the rear tires. On the front I think 100 would work fine.. We did some 5,000 rpm launch's and the studs/screws dug straight to the ground...

If you plan on building ice tires be prepared to spend $50.00-$100.00

Ice testing #2 soon to come with pics and vids
