We men seem to have a testosterone flow to the gas pedal problem that the women do not. Since ice racing requires a bit more finesse, the women do very well. Too much of the stupid pedal can get you nowhere in a hurry in the bare rubber class. Here is where the racing and the fun start to get serious. The rules start to get more serious at this point in the game.
Roll cages are now required equipment, as well as helmets.
The studs class is divided in to sub-classes, just like the bare rubber. I am only going to cover some of the basics here. Studs range from 17mm to 20mm in length. There are classes for street legal and competition vehicles. The competition rigs even run steering brakes to make cornering more effective.
