Anyone done Ice Racing?

[AEsco48]

Have done a bit of car, kart, moto racing and now that I live in Denver figure I might as well get into Ice Racing as I can do it in my Jeep vs going out an buying a racecar/bike/kart.

Plan is to start in the bare rubber competition class using the factory tires.

Wondering if anyone has any tips in general?

-Min tire pressure allowed is 10PSI. (I have noted that 8psi is the lowest that is recommended for offroading with factory wheels and tires, I figure go to the 10PSI limit)

-Do I want a full tank of fuel for the extra weight, or close to empty?
-The rule book does not mention adding ballast/weight, would I want to if its allowed?

-Sway bar disconcerted? (May have to look into electrically disabling it so it does not reconnect over 20mph)

What else?

No idea but that looks like an absolute blast. I'd probably put a little weight in the bed but not much, probably fifty pound bag of sand right above the axle. Whatever you decide please come back and let us know how it went and with pictures. I'd probably be talking with other drivers too.
Now I have another reason to encourage my son to move to Colorado.

A long time ago on two wheels with death spikes in them. There might have been schnapps involved.....
