You know it's cold when you can pull a dump truck onto a frozen lake  ;D

Where I worked, we used to plow our small ponds in the winter time, for ice skating. We stopped when one of the trucks dropped through :o  The ice doesn't get thick enough anymore.

And this is on the river where there is current under the ice ;) i guess the ice is 30-40 inches thick. I think a pond would be frozen solid
This is from 2018 look at Håkan Johansson in that blue and white Volvo 544 from the 60s winning. Must hurt your but  when you
have a modern fourwheel driven car and get beat by a relic

That is some serious racing! Reminds me of dirt track racing here in the states, except less chance of bleeding out when your blood freezes. ;D

Great picture George!

I'm like Doug, that ice racing is alot like our dirt track racing. Although I wouldn't want to be following another car long after seeing those tires  :o
