Don’t bring a beat to shit rusted car and expect to run in the street car class either. Cars must be “neat and presentable”…

On my way drive back to the Denver airport last week I drove by what looked like auto cross on a frozen pond, looked like a lot of fun. I wanted to stop but couldn’t convince my co-worker.

> We do have enough ice on Waneta Lake, but we just don’t have enough plows to get the job done. AMEC is hoping to race on Round Lake this Sunday. They will be attempting to plow on Saturday, so if you want to race, check out their website at [www.icerace.com](http://www.icerace.com) and look for an announcement in their latest news section to make sure that they were able to successfully plow a course.

ive got a presentable car for the street class. now the question is what are the un-studded tires i should get. depending on how extreme they are about the no rust rule. My L should be perfect for it.

Honeoye Lake had one a few years ago. The ice hasn’t been thick enough in the past couple of years but by the way this winter is going maybe the lake will be ready by mid February.
