I can’t imagine the drifting fun.
Edit: didn’t realize it’s for serious driving

"Experts" are very often wrong and people misjudge situations frequently.
I'd be interested if the participants are required to sign a waiver releasing the company of liability if there is a sunken car -OR- who will be responsible(if anyone) -OR- will it be covered by the participant's insurance.
Just some questions I'd be asking, yeah I'm a worry wart.
PS- I can imagine that conversation with my insurance agent, "will I be covered if I drive on a frozen lake?".

The <15 ton dump truck test> adds a lot of confidence for participants in my opinion.
At least we KNOW they are not going by weather & measurements and making a "best guess" within the boundaries of someone's opinion of what acceptable risk is.
I might be ok with that.
PS- when I was heading back from up north, the temps were 10 degrees higher than predicted the day before.
So stuff like this could be a big concern if not running a heavy truck first for frozen lake driving.

The lake by University of Wisconsin at Madison gets 3 foot thick ice; they have an entire Winter Carnival on the lake.
Don't worry, the driving school has it covered....

It takes way more than a day 10 degrees above normal to thaw a lake frozen enough for a 15 ton dump truck to drive on. We're talking about FEET of solid ice.
