Not Many People Know That You Can Race Your Car Across A Frozen Lake At Our Gang Racing In Colorado

If you're a thrill-seeker always looking for the next big adventure, consider ice racing in Colorado! Imagine the thrill of racing cars atop an icy lake with other speedsters. How does that sound for an exhilarating experience? Our Gang Ice Racing has been hosting these exciting escapades for more than 48 years in Georgetown.

What began with a group of friends car racing in Colorado and driving on a frozen pond above Central City circa 1965, continued to progress and evolve.

It became Our Gang 4 Wheelers in 1977, with an inaugural race taking place at Twin Lakes.

Since the group's inception, the location has changed to Georgetown Lake.

But the goal remains: to provide a fun and safe way to enjoy your personal 4x4 during the winter.

Joining Our Gang Ice Racing is easy, as it requires a 4WD or AWD vehicle, a valid driver's license, and a small registration fee for this frozen lake racing.

Online registration is required without exception, which opens approximately 3-4 weeks before the event date.

In addition to competitive racing on frozen lakes in Colorado, Our Gang also offers noncompetitive classes for all levels of drivers.

Also, the Sunday Fun Day Track is available for those who want to experience the thrill in a no-pressure environment.

If we don't feel like driving but want to check out the action, spectators are welcome to watch the races from the side of the lake for free!

Try it and you'll find this is one of the more thrilling things to do in Colorado during the winter.
