So a few of my team mates and I were BS'ing at the bar a few nights ago about getting a set of studded snow tires for the '05 car and taking it on a plowed frozen lake we know of. Then I got to thinking about having a small competition, five to ten teams, with other Midwest teams willing to make the trip to Wisconsin. Entrance fees would be minimal, mostly to tip the guy with the plow, and all events would be TT, no wheel to wheel.

This isn't definite, I'm just seeing if there is any interest. I don't even know if the lake owner would allow a planned event, he just offered it to us.

If you think this is foolish you are probably right, but it will be a whole lot of fun. Also I've read that a good set of studded tires on clean ice have more grip than most tires on asphalt.

Let me know what you guys think.

P.S. The winner's trophy will be an ice carving, so I hope your shop has a freezer. Or if your school would not approve it would be easy to dispose of the evidence.
