A Day at the Races–Fire On Ice 2014

Fire On Ice car racing is back on Shawano Lake again this year. In fact it was a little yearly this year because of the exceptionally cold weather we’ve been having. They normally race from about 1:00 to 3:00 PM or so.

Mona and I spent about 45 minutes there last Sunday and this is one of the clips I caught with my camera.

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.

Fire on Ice on Shawano Lake–January 9, 2010

These photos were taken on Sunday, January 9. We weren’t able to stay at the race very long since we had a previous commitment but it’s the largest crowd I remember seeing. I hope to get more photos posted in the future and even have a short movie but also short of time. (You should be able to click on the photos to enlarge them.)

More Fire on Ice - 2010

Here are a few more shots of the Fire on Ice Races on Shawano Lake. The first couple images are some of the vehicles coming off the Lake on January 24th, 2010. We took a ride around the Lake and by the time we got back to the Cecil end the races were over. They must have had a mess though with all that water.

Yesterday, the 31st we got there a little earlier and stayed until the intermission. The crowd is getting larger each week and it appears as though there were more cars this weekend. You can listen to the results on the Radio on FM 100.1.

I've got more photos but I just need time to post a few more.

Fire On Ice on Shawano Lake is Back in 2010

The Fire On Ice Races are back on Shawano Lake again. I guess they started last Sunday. A couple of the photos below are from last week and a couple from today. I saw I was getting a few hits on searches for the event so I figured I take the time to throw a few more pics up here.

With the nice weather today the attendance was decent. I ran down to the Cecil end of the Lake with the 4-wheeler and parked for about 1/2 hour or so. Got parked in and had to ride the length of the track just to get out.

There was one spectator there all set up for tailgating with the card table and chairs out as well as the old Smokey Joe BBQ.

Hope to get a post or two in the future if everything turns out OK.
