I like to call it "Thinning the Herd"
Yep, you read it right. They RACE cars on ICE on a LAKE!
This Gene Pool is a Little Shallow

And now after all that seriousness...Here is a sign that I saw on my way to work this morning.

Oh for god sakes. People have way too much time on their hands.
SCARY. I guess the good thing is, they could have "crash" without the "burn."
Maybe we should call those Darwin Awards people, give'em a heads up...
Hmm. You don't usually see advertisements for mass stupidity like that. At least not here. These old boys don't want the law to find out what they're about to do.
Oh, and I completely missed your earlier post and I'm sorry about that. I've been blessed with only very mild postpartum depression so I can only imagine how you must have felt. I hate that you went through it.
I'm just enough of a glass half full girl to think that it's probably not only given you more compassion, but also more insight.
I'm quite sure you've helped many who may not have been helped if you had not gone through it yourself.
That's what my husband calls "Evolution in Action".
I just linked this to my new post. I believe I have found your townies' cousins. the ones who deal perscription drugs one floor below the DEA.
Google "darwin awards" sometime. This seems to fit the bill.
Thinning, indeed. Reminds me of some friends who went to Alaska for a wedding. They stumbled on a town hosting a one-day parade and gun rally. The coup de grace of the whole bizarro day was when the townspeople floated a boat out into the lake and the every single resident shot at it until it sank.
My friends overheard the following as a grandfather instructed his young progeny to turn the switch to F (Fully Automatic): "That's F, for FUN!"
I'm not sure whether I should laugh or roll my eyes or shake my head.
All that being said, I'd totally go watch this event. After, of course, a stop at Johnson's Dairy Bar.
Don't think I am not tempted to take a car ride at about noon on Sunday - if only to take pictures....
Oooohh, good. Take pictures. (post along with Terrence in white face. Holding peas. Don't think I've forgotten, woman!)
Living in L.A. we don't have any Car Ice Races but plenty other 'Thinning Of The Herd' activities. Here we like to drive 90 mph on the 405 while holding a cell phone in one hand, an espresso in the other and maneuvering the steering wheel with our knees. Not that I've ever done it. I'm just saying.
Dare I say it sounds kinda fun. (I'm in Northern IL where the ice gets mighty thick)
Hey, they have a ton of these events in my state! Plus drunken snowmobiling at high speeds, some kind of strange milk bottle tossing competition, and darts and more darts.
Please oh please I hope you got pics!!!!
At least the sign was ACTUALLY pointing left!
