This is a video of me taking part in a 3 hour endurace ice race this past January. The New Meadows Ice Racing Association (NMIRA) of Bath, Maine held this event in Sabattus, ME and the weather decided to dump a few feet of snow on us. Visibility in some cases was less than 20 feet in front of the car, and the race was shortened to 2.5 hours. Although I usually drive the whole 3 hours myself instead of switching drivers, I decided to quit halfway through on this one before I had an accident. The 4 hour round trip drive was in very poor road conditions, so I logged 5+ hours of adverse-weather driving that day. This is in my 1995 Miata with Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50s, but neither RWD nor unstudded tires are competitive in this class of racing. For those of you not already in-the-know, this is the cheapest racing experience you will ever find.
