If I'm not mistaken you can't ice fish out there no matter what day of the week it is because it would make it very dangerous to race with a bunch of holes in the ice. My husband races there and enjoys every minute. They are very generous with the money. I think that even if you walk down from your house it would be a good thing to donate since the money goes to a very good cause. We also ride motorcycles in the summer over to Davids House and bring stuffed animals to all of the children suffering with cancer. So I guess before one complains about the amount of money it costs to go watch a good show, think about how much harder it would be to be suffering from cancer! Why someone wouldn't want to pay is beyond me.

Not complaining about the money. I agree that the money goes to a good cause.
All I was pointing out is that its illegal. I pay for a NH fishing license and that is a public launch on a public water body. They could not stop you from fishing there if you wanted to. A fisherman or anybody else for that matter has just as much of a right to use the pond as the racers do. A group cant just block of a body of water and charge admission unless its private. I don't ice fish there or plan to since the water is probably full of racing fuel and oil anyways.Some years they do it on berry and lees pond. Does that mean I cant fish either pond because they might want to race on them?

It is not illegal to cut in line at a movie theatre but is it the "right" thing to do?

There are lots of activities we might have a legal "right" to do but choose not to for the sake of others.
