Welcome to motorcycle Ice Racing on frozen water. Not for the faint of heart as you may suspect by the conditions in this photo as these ice racers race their stud equiped motorcycles under extreme conditions. It was a challenge keeping my fingers warm in the -25 Celsius temperatures as I lay in a snowbank at the edge of the track shooting photos. A light pair of fleece gloves works well with another pair of fleece over mitts when needed. Of course, I was wearing a parka with insulated pants and Sorrel felt lined boots on my feet. I cannot imagine how the guys and gals on these motorcycles could stand the cold as they raced around this 1/4 mile oval. The windchill factor made for extreme racing!
