DriftBusta Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Probably has friction spikes on the bike, amazing what you can do on ice with them. I think they're about 250 bucks a pop these days. I had a set back in the day. Don't crash and get your body near any spinning tires if you fall though, they'll rip you open pretty quick.

Get campfire going on the shore, beers and just stay out there all day long ripping it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw some cars up on Moosehead a few years ago ripping around on the ice on a big oval. Looked like a riot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to go up to Sturbridge Mass for a ice racing meet they held a few weekends a year back in the day. At the time I had a quad racer 500 which was fairly new and they only made them for a few years right around 1990. So I am going to guess it has been 20 years since there or even down on Congamond. The grip coming out of the corners was just awesome nothing else I have tried compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the same group that ran the Monson hillclimbs did the ice racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little south of rte 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
