by | Jan 24, 2012 | New England, New Hampshire

Moultonboro, NH – German Motorsports of Gilford and the Lakes Region Ice Racing Club teamed up to present the first automobile ice racing event of the 2012 season last Sunday. With 13 inches of ice, Lee Pond in Moultonboro came alive in late morning with plow trucks preparing the track and parking areas, club volunteers setting up registration and race control, and race fans taking their favorite vantage points around the track. The pit meeting was held at noon, followed by hot laps that gave the drivers their first chance on the ice at speed. The Club brings 5 classes of cars to either Berry or Lee pond each week: Juniors (13-15), 4 cylinder rear-wheel drive, 4 cylinder front-wheel drive, V8 stock, and modified. From the fearless juniors to the wicked fast modifieds, there is lots of close competition and action on the slick 1/4 mile oval tracks.
