We wanted to prep my Nissan NX for it, but it's not popular enough in my area. I think the closets race is at least 4 hours away. I would like too. Maybe in the future.

u live in canada!!!! and ice racing isnt popular in ur area? damn, i thought ice racing in canada was alot more common... one thing i know for sure is the rules are alot more relaxed than they are here... people here are so ------- uptight.. i would love to get someone with a plow and plow my own course

just a fgure 8 for the hell of it. lol

im not even allowed to run studded tires without a roll cage

nissan nx's are hot but id still rock a sentra over an nx for an ice race. :P ive seen sentras come out of no where... lol

I briefly owned a ice racing Civic a few years ago, it was fully caged etc.I never got a chance to do any racing unfortunetly.Ice racing is pretty popular here in western Canada as it is relatively low cost because you dont need high hp engines fancy suspension etc.The world championship of ice racing is on Jan 29 in my city for the quads.go karts motor bikes etc.I think i will go check it out.Nitro methane.no brakes allowed and 0-60mph in 3 seconds on ice

I saw ice racing on trucks or extreme 4x4, something like that. It looks fun.

amen to that! u dont need anything but a running car and some good tires to grip that ice :P

but it sucks here that u cant have a passenger... driver only..

this looks fun, isnt a car, but none the less looks fun as hell. looks a hella scary too.

Ice What is Ice

The closest I am to some snow is probably a 10-12 hour drive north

I have seen snow ONCE 10 years ago, for a week, that's it.

Sounds like fun, I would like to drive the WRX in snow before I sell it. Too bad the thing is acting like a DSM, not liking to make power and breaking down a lot.
