In Northern Wisconsin, you might think people would store their motorcycles and ATVs for the winter. But what fun would that be? A group of daredevils is heating up the ice in the Northland with a racing scene like no other. It’s as much fun for the spectators as it is for the participants – put on a warm coat and boots, grab some hand warmers and boot warmers, and get ready to be amazed. Here’s what’s waiting for you out on the ice at the Midwest Ice Races.

The ice races are held by the Midwest Ice Racing Association – it’s a group that was formed to bring high-quality ice racing to the Northland.
