Upper Michigan Ice Racing Association
Ice racing on frozen inland lakes near Gwinn offers high-speed action: studded or slick-tyred cars sliding across snow and ice, close-up wheel sprays, airborne roostertails and dramatic low-sun silhouettes. Best at weekend race events (check UMIRA schedule); arrive early for pit access and varied light. Winter daylight is short—midday gives flat light, golden hours add warm side-light contrast; night races with floodlights create high-contrast scenes. Cold-weather gear, camera batteries, and ice
