That looks like an absolute blast.

They do some solo ice racing in New Hampshire when if it gets cold enough for the lakes to freeze properly.

I've not made it to one yet. Last year it never got cold enough.

From what I saw this club in NH runs really big courses, not tight ones like an autocross. That turned me off because people are hitting really high speeds on the straights, and personally, I'd rather not trash my car at 75mph in a snowbank.

Another thing, iirc, was that they didn't allow studded tires on the ice, but I see that you guys do.

Wish I wasn't so far away. What an experience that must be.
