Do these events? Hell yes. I don't think a lowered track prepped EVO with a splitter would like the ice too much. The Saab should do well, if you really want to have some fun set up some studded tires.

Dave Parts does 3. http://www.w-a-g.org/

Tom Hille did like 7 last winter. http://fvscc.com/ice_racing.php

Tell me more about this ice racing. Is it worth showing if I just have regular winter tires? Are there big snow banks I could crash into or is it like an autocross on snow?

...then number and location of drive wheels (AWD, FWD, RWD) then rubber or spike are the classes. Run what you brung you'll have a blast. There are some snow banks but it's soft stuff and not too likely to damage your car but I wouldn't run a splitter and a lowered car.

For more seasonal stuff, there's a windy city BMW club that you'd enjoy going to . Beat the snot out of some nifty M3's all day :-) THey are Evo friendly, they think the Evo is cool. Makes you feel good too doing it. Knowing the Evo cost a lot less than their cars, new and track readied both.

Also, you can check out www.motorsportreg.com/

Thats how the STLBMWCCA club setups their events in Madison IL.

Been to Putnum Pk? Heard it was cool....
