Xtreme International Ice Racing at the Tahoe Blue Event Center

@ Xtreme International Ice Racing rushes into Lake Tahoe on January 2, 2027. Xtreme International Ice Racing (XIIR) returns to Lake Tahoe for Round 2 of high-speed competition! Watch skilled riders race studded motorcycles and quads across the ice, navigating sharp turns and battling head-to-head—all without brakes. Bring the whole family for an action-packed evening of ice racing! Ice speedway bikes may look like ordinary motorcycles, but these lightweight machines are built for serious speed. Weighing just 180 pounds, they feature powerful four-stroke engines capable of reaching 14,000 RPM and producing approximately 90 horsepower. Each bike is equipped with up to 1,600 razor-sharp steel studs for traction on the ice—and no brakes! A typical event features 20 to 25 races, depending on rider participation. Competitors face off in four-lap qualifying heats, with four riders racing handlebar-to-handlebar to earn points toward the Main Event. The top qualifiers advance to a six-rider, six-lap final. The short races are intentional. Controlling these powerful machines requires tremendous strength and endurance, while the studded tires place significant demands on the ice surface. Every lap tests the riders’ speed, skill, and precision as they compete for the finish line.
