Did you know?
A Michigan man named Staten Lorenz is credited with founding indoor ice racing. A motorcycle dealer in Huntsville, AL helped organize and promote the first race which took place in 1975.
In 1977, racer Gary Densford formed what is now known as International Championship Events / I.C.E. Densford wrote a comprehensive set of rules and kicked off the first of the four championships on January 13, 1977 at the Oklahoma State Fair Coliseum in Oklahoma City followed by events in Amarillo, Texas, Tucson, Arizona and Dallas, Texas.
Thanks primarily to technical innovations, the sport has advanced significantly since those “early days”. Newer tire manufacturing technology as well as advanced tire and stud designs have enabled the racers to reduce lap times significantly while improving the safety of the sport.
In addition, I.C.E has developed and incorporated many of the innovations into the sport over the years. Most of these improvements have been in the areas of technical regulations and developments, safety regulations, and competition rules.
The sport continues to attract the “best of the best” riders with many crossing over from Flat Track, Dirt Track, Motocross, SuperMoto and Road Racing. Accordingly, this season promises to be the most thrilling and competitive yet.
