It's time to delve a little further into the crazy, sideways world of ice racing - where grip is at a premium but the grins come cheap. In last week's [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/22/introduction-to-ice-racing-part-1/"]first article in the series[/URL] we gave you a little bit of information about the sport in general, or rather [I]sports[/I], and talked about the class structure used by AMEC, the club we'll be running with. We'll be participating in the street legal class with a 2002 [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/model/wrx"]Subaru WRX[/URL], a very early model purchased right after it finally hit American shores in 2001. It's mostly stock, but the club does have some required changes we'll cover here, and there are some other things you'll want to know before you show up on the ice.

What sorts of things? Well, one important thing is how to drive, or rather how to go quickly around a track of ice without getting yourself high-sided on a snowbank or bumper-locked with a competitor. So, we'll give you an overview of driving technique too, including a little demonstration video that'll give you your first taste of driving at-speed on-ice in a car with no studs. Click on through and join the fun.
