The CWSCC group/365 racing does not screw around when it comes to their ice racing. I've only driven studs once, and was some of the most fun I have ever had.

I see what you did there.

And I imagine you put on a different set for the ride home? Or trailer it? I can't imagine studded tires like that do too well on an actual road...

Not my tire. I am just good friends with most of that crew. The tires are not driven on roads. Often they install on the ice.

Mine is parked for the winter. Those belong to a group of friends in WI. They host events where the OP was at.

I have driven on studded tires in my Uncles truck on pavement. its loud and feels a bit weird. Its not legal in many places.

Are you happy with the General Altimax Arctics? I am planning on running those next winter...based on your video it looks like they could handle just about anything you can throw at them. Whoever brought out the convertible is a hero, great video

This would be my fourth winter with Generals here in Chicago and I have yet to get stuck somewhere

I ice raced for years with those guys and WAG further south on Lake Sinissippi in Hustisford. It looks like WAG has one there coming up this weekend.

When there is no snow on the lake it's quite possibly the most frustrating thing you can do in a car. You get going too fast or too out of control and you just slide forever. I raced the last couple years I did it in my WRX on studded rally tires. Those home made ones have a ton of grip, it's like driving on a track on slicks.

The wheel to wheel racing is awesome too, but obviously need a beater for that.
