You've never seen cars racing on ice then?  They have metal studs that dig 
into the ice and create grip - it's amazing how much grip they have.  I was 
in a taxi once in Finland and was pretty unbelievable how hard he could 
brake on the snow/ice and how fast he could go round a corner without 
skidding at all.
