RACING ALL YEAR LONG

     Racing is a popular sport around this year with the Shawano Speedway and USA International Raceway, so folks get their fill of racing during every season of the year except winter, right?
     Wrong!an
     You see, they even get racing in the winter months around here. On Sunday, the Fire on Ice Auto Racing Club kicked off the 2013 season with its first race of the year on Shawano Lake in Cecil. There is a track set up on the ice about 100 yards from shore and cars, ATVs, motorcycles all take to the icy oval for a few laps.
     Fire on Ice isn't the only ice racing auto club in the area. There's a club located in Tilleda, Marion and Caroline as well.
     These racers are serious about the sport too. Some of have been doing it for over 10 years and work on their cars during the summer and fall months in between their summer racing opportunities.
     Spectators can easily watch the sport in the warmth of their own vehicles while listening to the announcer on a local radio station channel live.
     Here are my favorite photos from Sunday's race.
     Enjoy!
