Ice tether racer
This is pretty cool - never heard of tether racing on ice.

Re: Ice tether racer
Somehow the "roundy round" thing is not very appealing as it lacks the third dimension found in CL flying: impacting the GROUND.
But, if you enjoy ice-tethering, by all means do it!

Re: Ice tether racer
i get both points,
i dont really like the Ice tether car racing.
but i like cars a lot.
it still looks like fun just not as much as flying in the air.

Re: Ice tether racer
a special thing about tether cars is that they are THE fastest model cars around. only with them can you reach speeds in excess of 180 mph.

But remember my account of a tether car breaking loose into and through classroom window.
