As everybody knows, the Race & Licensing School on May 6th & 7th is sold out. HOWEVER, past experience tells us that there will always be a small number of signed-up members who suddenly can't make it to the event. In a case like this, we backfill the roster with people who have signed up and were waiting for just such an opportunity. Whoever is next in line on the waiting list will have the opportunity to decide whether they want to replace the person who dropped out. Therefore, I strongly suggest: If you are interested in participating, sign up! You won't get charged until we confirm that you are replacing someone else. At the same time, we have on record how many more people might be interested in a second school later on in the summer. Don't hesitate, sign up! It doesn't cost you anything!

How do you know the Ice Racing season is over?
Rare Snake replied to donrolandofurioso's topic in General Motorsports Talk
It's really amazing how many friends and coworkers have showed this to me today. Watching that car fill with water so fast is pretty darn scary. Makes me wonder if I could get out of a caged car and a race seat fast enough. Other than going through the ice, has anyone actually watched the full video of this race? Door to door racing with a passenger/navigator in an old rwd tank... that is awesome!! -

Hey, champs. In case some didn't get posters at Gimli, here is the digital file. Some adjusting for print will be required as its 11"x17" RGB 105 DPI My hopes were to get spectators to approach the drivers for autographs but pitting in the infield makes that tricky. Thank you to Project X Racecards for donating and printing these posters. Project X Racecards specializes in creating custom diecast replicas of your own racecars here in Winnipeg. Just supply photos of your car, artwork files of sponsors and they will do the rest. If you have your own diecast cars you would like to supply, those orders are welcome. Ask for Derek. Thank you to Jeremy Paskaruk for allowing me to use your awesome photos on the poster. Check out his website. https://www.jeremypaskaruk.com Thanks Al for handing these out and Mike for approving the layout. See you at DirtX.

2023 Ice Season is over - Thank you volunteers!
Mopar11 replied to Mike's topic in Ice Race General Discussion
Thank you Mike for all your efforts and hard work. Racing every 2 weeks this winter is a tight schedule to run but we all worked together to see it through. IceX was a HUGE success this winter too! I’m already looking forward to 2024! -
I was looking so forward to the Pursuit Race and it definitely did not disappoint!

2023 Ice Season is over - Thank you volunteers!
SVOXR4STi replied to Mike's topic in Ice Race General Discussion
I would like to extend a huge Thank You to Mike. He has been the modest lead for what I feel was a great success race season. Personally I don’t think I can thank you enough, you have carried a huge piece of the load that makes this thing we do happen. Many are not aware of the amount of preparation prior to race weekend, it’s a massive undertaking and begins months ahead. Every track location is unique, requiring coordination and promotion with multiple organizations, changing with every event. Responding to countless questions, queries, interviews, challenges and complaints. Mike has dedicated hundreds of hours to the cause; it has become his new full time job with no pay. Each event grew from the previous, with much discussion and debate over breakfast meetings. Perfectly planned but never perfect, try something new, and then have a fantastic group of volunteers to sort the unexpected. We have a few ideas for next year, with Mike directing, we will continue to grow ice race, bringing more cars, drivers, and race fans for 2024. Mike has listed a vast number of volunteer workers who help this put together. We all appreciate the dedication, and professionalism you bring. I’m sure we’ve overlooked someone… you’re probably the quiet one in the back like me, I’ll buy you a coffee and dock Mike’s pay. Hope to see you all at the track, summer racing starts soon Thanks again! STeve -

With the conclusion of our 2023 ice racing season I need to pass on a huge thank you to all those within our club that helped make this season a success.

Steve Leiding - Assistant Director, logistics manager, race coordinator, corner marshal, pizza delivery, etc.... Tim Gordienko - track designer/construction coordinator Brad Epp - PR promotion and social media mega manager Jen Bell - race day clerk of the course Al Marcoux - race day/drift day assistant coordinator, scrutineer, instructor/coach Dason Wowk - Chief marshal and start/finish flagger Wayne, Nicole & Mia Schellekens - Timing/Scoring and tow truck support Dave Evans - race day broadcaster Glen Gordon - race day and drift day grid marshal Bob Wilmont - WCMA Chief Stewarding Shane Steward - WCMA Stewarding Henri Marcoux - WCMA Stewarding Stu Jackson - race day tow truck Scott McDonald - tow truck support, corner marshal and much more Gloria Gordienko - head pit boss Brian & Judy Wiebe - corner marshals at EVERY event day Jay Funke - corner marshal & spectator gate control Roland Huffgard - spectator gate control Llew Taylor - corner marshal Ron Dallmeier - corner marshal Dane & Isabel Demarco - corner marshal Apologies if I missed anyone at all. I would also like to give a big shout out of thanks to Larry Blatz for building our Lake Shirley tracks and Travis Toomey for going above and beyond with the track construction and rebuilding at Gimli. As well, big thanks to Andre & Alisa for their track plowing services throughout our season. Cheers everyone - hope to see you all out again in 2024! Mike

Thanks to all our entries for the first annual IceX Drift Showdown this past Saturday at our season ending weekend event in Gimli. The incredible display of car control and showmanship was definitely a crowd favorite and fun to watch for everyone. The feedback from all the spectators was awesome to see. Congratulations to our 2023 IceX Drift Showdown award winners! AWD - Dave Halcrow (car #79 Subaru WRX) RWD - Nick Balaz (car #10 Toyota Supra) FWD - Mike Gordon (car #999 Hyundai Elantra)

Our first annual Icelandic Pursuit Race proved to be an exciting event. The reverse grid/staggered start created a somewhat confusing race in the beginning however typical for a pursuit race as the final laps approached many of the cars started to catch each other and the close racing was amplified and unpredictable right to the finish line! Congrats to our 2023 Icelandic Pursuit Award winners! Brandon Rehill (car #4) Ryan Lysak (car #5) Lee McRae (car #9)

After 29 hard fought races our top two contenders ended up 1 point apart! Congrats to Lee McRae on winning the 2023 Fire on Ice Championship. Congrats to Damon Surzyshyn making Lee fight to the very last lap.

Does the sticker say that they expire in June '23? Any damage that would prevent them from being recertified?
