The 57th Annual running of The World Championship Merrill Ice Drags completed Week 1 on Saturday Jan. 29, 2022. Record race entries and good weather made the day a great success. There is a new track layout due to an attempt to share the area with other winter enthusiasts. It has created a few new challenges but all-in-all, the event pushes on!
Where else can you find another racetrack where you can watch a Tesla,a Mercedes, and a Yugo with a V8 all race on a drag strip made of ice!
