Any make model year or style of OEM Snowmobiles are welcome to participate. This race is like taking your automobile to a Drag Strip on a Friday night, you are simply buying track time. Track time cost is $20 per Snowmobile allowing you to make as many passes as you like. Perhaps the question of what class does my Snowmobile run in? Answer: there are no classes during open track time, you want to race someone, just ask them to join you in the staging area and when it is your turn you will be on the line together. We have found it is not necessary to make classes everyone dose it for themselves, running who you want as many times as you want. There will be a timing system on site that will score the race with finish placement, R,T. & E,T. time slips for all racers.
