Hey everyone!

In case you haven't heard, IceX 2 has been moved to Feb. 28 & Mar. 1st weekend to give the ice the best chance for good conditions. So far the ice has been looking good, and we're hoping for improving conditions after this weekend.

As you probably heard, we've received word this past weekend that we have 10-12" of ice on our lake. And so with

Hi everyone. Apologies for the delayed updates here; as many of you know or may have seen, we unfortunately have to cancel the upcoming Jan. 24/25 Ice X event due to a lack of ice.

We are going to keep a close eye on ice conditions going forward, and there is some indication that there are some colder temps coming ahead.

In the meantime, we have decided to shift the events to provide a diverse set of options as below (still pending ice conditions:
- Feb. 7 & 8 (originally Ice Lapping) will now be Ice X
- Feb. 21 & 22 (originally Ice Attack) will now be Ice Lapping

Please stay tuned for more updates!

Well, with only about 4" of ice, things aren't looking as good as we had hoped. But let's try and be positive that the Ashcroft weather will get back, and stay in the negatives and grow us some ice. We need a minimum of 10" before we can comfortably run an event, so keep those fingers crossed for now! Don't lose hope just yet!

Hi everyone. We've had some tests done around the lake and unfortunately it is sitting around 3-4" mark as per Myles' observations yesterday. Given the expected warm weather coming over the next 2 weeks, we think it is highly unlikely that well have enough ice for our first event. As such, to help with your planning, we will cancel the first IceX event on Jan. 10/11, and push our events back so that we can still offer 2 opportunities for iceX.

In Summary:
- Jan. 10/11 - Event cancelled
- Jan. 24/25 - IceX 1
- Feb. 7/8 - IceX 2
- Feb. 21/22 - Ice Lapping

This is disappointing news for us all, and let's hope for better news for our next event on Jan. 24/25. Please stay tuned for more news!

Well, folks! It looks like- if all goes smoothly in the back end, we should be opening registration for our first weekend sometime later in the first week of December (hopefully, maybe, possibly, probably?). Keep those fingers crossed! We're just waiting to confirm a few things, and have a few loose ends tied up in the back end, but we're all feeling pretty good about it!

I think I heard Whistler got snow recently? 🤔 hopeful for signs of a good winter 🤞🏼

Hey, do you guys remember when brought his dad up to the lake, along with that big, beautiful Buick?...all that gas burned... I guess that's why we measure in *smiles* per gallon 😅

So, I know we just hit fall, but... Who else is in that late-year, post-summer-motorsports, purgatory period, just dreaming of the frozen lake again? I mean, I know we're still a few months out, and Barnes Lake is still... Well, it's not ice yet, that's for sure- BUT we are all looking forward to getting back up there. Hopeful for another good season of frozen toes and fingers! 😁

hi everyone!

On Feb. 8/9, we will be hosting a new-format - Ice Lapping.

Key features of the Ice Lapping Event
- Single large open track, with a pull out lane for drivers to allow faster cars to overtake during the session.
- Higher speeds and longer lap times than Ice-X, multiple laps per session.
- HPDE atmosphere, with ride-alongs and coaching encouraged.
- No official timing, no ice race license required, novices are welcome.
- 2 day event, run groups would rotate between lapping and working on course.
- 30 entries maximum, priced at $300 total for 2 days.

For an example of what this looks like, check out this video:
