International Championship Events (ICE) brought the ‘War on Ice’ to the ShoWare Center last Saturday with an exhilarating indoor speedway ice racing competition. This 35 year old tradition began in Kent, Ohio when a gang of dirt bike speedway racers drove their break-less single-speed motorcycles onto the Kent State University Hockey Field. Now, three decades later, the sport and machines have evolved far beyond their traditional design. Motorcycles, quads, and small cars have all been specially designed to handle the low-friction speedway track.

The final class of racing vehicle was a very small car. I have no idea what these are officially called… Go karts? To save on weight and decrease complexity, the cars do not have a battery or engine starter installed. Instead, motorcycle batteries are connected externally to help get the engine moving. The batteries are then detached and the miniature cars enter the race track.

After watching these highly specialized vehicles tear up the ice for an hour, we all got a laugh when Elmo and friends attempted to navigate the track on 50cc urban scooters. The traction was so poor, that some just threw their scooters to the ground and started running. What a mess.
