The first ice race was held along the Oslo Fjord 25th February 1912 (check the crowd!) and became a giant fiasco after 10.000 people came hoping to get a glimpse of the racing cars. The event was a total chaos and the race had to be stopped after a crash. In their enthusiasm the organisers had placed the Start and the Finish line together - only opposite ways... One of the cars that attended then, Halvdan Prøsch's 1911 Ford T Runabout, was attending the celebrations on the day 100 years after, but the ice was gone... (report and photos Ivar Engerud
