Jalopy ice racing

I just saw this. Just in case it's not already on here.

You'll have to wait for the sponsors commercial to end. Just let it play.

 

First time I've seen it. Looks like some neat speedster bodies were used.

 

My dad used to ice race on Lake Alvin near Harrisburg, SD when I was a kid.
Early to Mid 1960's.
I think he ran a 1951 Chevy sedan.
We always had to hurry home to milk the cows though.
Wish I had some photographs/video of those days.
If I remember right, it was more of a demolition derby than racing...
