Fire on Ice 2012

We ended up getting there late but Fire on Ice is happening again this year. They switched from Cecil Bay to the County Park area on Shawano Lake I assume to coincide with the famous Figure 8 Musky Club Fishing Tournament this weekend. The landing to access the contest appears to be better on the other side of the lake.  The Fishing Tournament has a pretty good draw by itself.

As you can see – the number of cars in the races that were left when we finally arrived was slim but they still gave it there all.

Snowmobile Race

Races took place at the Red River area just North of Dykesville on the Bay of Green Bay on February 11.  The temperatures were in the low single digits and and the wind chill was minus digits (Sub-zero). There was a nip in the air…

      

Granddaughter Miranda on sled # 65 participated in her first snowmobile races over the weekend. Her friend Nick posed for a shot on a classic sled # 19.

Miranda’s first run hit 61 mile per hour while her last run topped out at 91. Nick, I assume not on the vintage sled but on his racing sled had a high speed of 101 which was the fastest speed of the day. Nick’s parents run Simonar Sports Inc. in Luxemburg, WI. There was a little bit of tragedy that followed the race when Miranda and Nick decided to take a run after the race had ended. For some reason Nick wiped out his sled and ended up in the hospital over night. At this time everything appears to be OK.
