The Merrill Ice Draggers started off their season a little late for 2023 due to warmer than normal temps and rain early in the year, but the racing season got off to a great start with racers on Saturday, Feb. 4. Record attendance and beautiful weather kicked off the 58th Annual Merrill Ice Drags, organizers said, and there was such high attendance they weren’t able to get through all the classes before dark and are planning to schedule a make-up day.
For those who did get a chance to race, the results are in.
