Ice Racing

[Super Dave]

Just find a place to ride.  Racing is regimented and segregated.

You can ride on Delavan Lake here

for fun.  All day long on weekends.  There will probably a decent number of people there.

Agreed...  Ride, don't race...

And before you really commit to making your own, swing by and I'll show you my tires and spend about 20 minutes explaining how they're built.  Then consider whether you can do it.

Building them yourself is a risky proposition.  You're gonna drop $150 on studs, $125 on tires and then probably a few more bucks on misc stuff.  If you build them wrong (which you WILL unless you understand the science behind them), you'll destroy them very quickly.

Here's a link to some additional info.

Tommy got her a set of knobbies that she studded up. One guy might buy the set (she sold her FZR awhile ago), but if he doesn't, I'll have her call you. :)

Knobbys for an FZR!  ;D

Let me know, I may be interested.

Studded knobbies! ;D I'll have her give you a call.

Yes, I do still have that set of Cheng Shing's.  I studded them myself with Pro Gold screws (used old harley tires for liners).  Tommy Mason sent me a fax with the pattern.  They aren't the 'best', but it sure was fun zipping across the ice at over 85 MPH and getting her sideways.  
So, Nate, if my friend Mark doesn't covet them, they are yours for a good price.  
And, Hawk, these are all great suggestions for starting.  You can go to the link Spyderchick posted...Joey has all the 'know' about where adn when on the ice.  Or, you can email me rhiannon@onefastgirl.com.  I can hook you up with all the dirt track and ice dudes in the midwest.
Ciao, Rhiannon  :-*
(so much for lurking...) ::)
