Ice Rally this season
-
Last year we went to the FVSCC events on Lake Poygan (near waupaca).
CWSCC has events on Lake Dubay, which is between Stevens Point and Wausau.
There are also events on Lake Sinissippi (draw a triangle between Madison, Milwaukee and Fond du Lac, and it's right in the center), which are put on by WAG (Wisconsin Autosports Group)
The best source of dates appears to be facebook. I'm planning on hitting the up the FVSCC events for sure, but would like to check out at least one of the WAG events on Sinissippi to see what they're all about.

Weather isn't looking conducive for the 22nd, which saddens me.

44 would be amazing! weather should be around freezing all week, which should keep the ice safe. will they not run if its warm?

The first half of the week looks fine, second half, not so much. I'm still hopeful though. Weathermen are hardly ever right anyway, so it's too early to tell. I'd go even if it's a big slush-fest. Ben took all his cars apart though...
I made it very specific to the machine shop that my m20 head is to be done by friday or sooner, all with the intention of throwing it back together friday night and or saturday to make it on the ice

Yes. Looking good for the weather, just have to watch their post for any updates:

If we are good to go, I'll be leaving Milwaukee about 6:45 if anyone else is coming from the city and wants to caravan
EDIT: maybe saying 'car pool' when talking about driving on the ice is a bad idea.
