Ice Racing
When you Pre-Register for this event, you will automatically
be subscribed to the Ice Racing Bulletin. All event details are emailed to you,
using the Ice Racing Bulletin.
Ice Races are designed to be safe, low-pressure events in which all participants
have fun! The primary goal of Ice Racing is to develop drivers who can successfully
control their vehicles in adverse driving conditions with consistency.
Consistency requires that winter driving techniques become natural reactions, which
carry over in safer driving on icy, wet, and even dry roads. These natural reactions
develop through using the least amount of input for the desired response and doing
it smoothly, becoming aware of the car's individual qualities and handling, and
by spending time on the ice practicing car control. As we are striving for consistency,
we average scores when it is reasonable to do so.
Quick Overview
Please review all of the Boston Chapter Ice Racing webpages prior to submitting
any inquiries. Links to all Ice Racing details are located below. Most Ice Racing
inquiries, including those concerning Pre-Registration, Registration, Car Classification,
Timing, Scoring, and Trophies should be directed to the Ice Racing Coordinator,
Stan Jackson Jr.
You must Pre-Register using our online registration system to run in any
Boston Chapter Ice Race. Pre-Registration does not obligate you to attend an Ice
Race. Payment is accepted during Registration at each event.
We plan for five Ice Races each season. Events are generally held on Sundays;
however, we may occasionally schedule a Saturday event. In 2010, Ice Races will
be held during the period January 23rd through March 28th, inclusive, which provides
ten possible weekends. The specific dates will be determined based on
ice and weather conditions, as well as on the date of the first event. The Parker
Spooner Memorial Ice Race is tentatively scheduled for Febuary 28th, 2010.
The status of each tentatively scheduled event is announced on the Ice Racing Bulletin.
The final decision each weekend will be posted by 12:00 noon or shortly thereafter
on the day prior to the event.
Ice Racing Bulletin
The Ice Racing Bulletin is distributed via e-mail to everyone who Pre-Registers for the event,
and is posted on the Boston Chapter website as well. It is sent out periodically
during the weeks when events are scheduled, generally on Wednesday evenings and
by early afternoon on Saturdays. The latest
Ice Racing Bulletin is your best source for event status. Additional
details such as event updates, ice conditions, and weather conditions will be distributed
via the Ice Racing Bulletin as well.
When you Pre-Registered for this event, you will automatically be subscribed to
