Events are based on several lakes in Minnesota
Race locations for a given weekend are subject to ice conditions. Lakes are evaluated for ice thickness, quality of ice (clear is the strongest), and smoothness. If no lakes meet the criteria, the event is cancelled and all participants are notified via email. No participants are charged any fees if an event is cancelled.
Below is a list of lakes that are used most commonly in recent years:
Madison Lake - Madison Lake, MN (near Mankato)
Pokegama Lake - Grasston, MN (just west of Pine City)
East Rush Lake - Rush City, MN
North Center Lake - Lindstrom, MN
Required Items
Drip pan if your car leaks any fluids. This is requirement from the DNR - anything that drips will go in the lake.
Helmet - Snell rating 2010 or newer
Suggested Items
Tow hooks on your car: this is a requirement for Wheel to Wheel and IceCross and highly recommended for TrackDay. In the event you are stuck in a snow bank, there should be an obvious tow point
Warm clothes! - It's winter in Minnesota on a frozen lake
Snow cleats
Snow shovel
Pit lane marker: useful for finding/reserving your spot on pit lane when a track session is over
