lower mechanical wear?
[edit]Huh? Why? Because the ice is smoother? --Gbleem 05:28, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Just guessing, but I'd say that the coefficient of friction between tires/ice is lower than that of tires/asphalt (even with the best studs) (especially because ice racing seems to usually be in kinetic friction range, whereas asphalt racing is more often in the static friction range), so acceleration and deceleration is going to be correspondingly lower. --Interiot 16:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
You are wrong. Totaly wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.243.30.228 (talk) 08:29, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- Without a reliable source I question the correctness of the statement too, so I have removed it. It should not be added back unless it is sourced. The statement has little effect on understanding ice racing anyhow. Royalbroil 17:39, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- i agree, it is not the salient point
Only motorized vehicles?
[edit]Can this article be expanded to include racing with ice cycles and ice boats, or is there some good reason to exclude them? -AndrewDressel (talk) 14:22, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
