I didn't see many (any?) posts about low-friction sailing on ice and dirt.
Iceboating is one of the oldest "extreme sports"; it was only 11 years after the first America's Cup challenge that the Ice Yacht Challenge Pennant of America was first sailed. At that time iceboats were the fastest vehicles in the world.
Recently I've been taking my GoPro and Sj4000 cameras out on my DN iceboat and blokart landsailer. Here are a couple of recent results:
DN Iceboating on Lake Kegonsa near Madison, WI:
blokart sailing on Red Lake, north of Kingman, AZ:
You don't need a dry-lake to sail the blokart, a parking lot will do nicely:
