1/15 series update!!

[Cor146]

Snow conditions have not changed at Summit Lake Game Farm even with the postponement from the earlier date. We will be talking with the facilities on Tuesday to see if they received anymore snow since we spoke to them on Thursday. If this race can not happen on Jan 28th we are looking at two alternate venues and will let you know right away. It will be very dissapointing if we are not able to run the race at the Game Farm but they will definitley be on the schedule for next year.

If there is a change in venue the race will be rescheduled to Feb 11th to allow for the new facilities to prepare for our arrival plus to give our racers time to make new travel and lodging plans and we will be making the announcement next week when & where we will be racing so watch the website or Facebook page.

I was at Mercer on Thursday doing the race course evaluation and good news, there is 6-8” of snow on the flowage but under the snow there is about 1” of slush from the warm weather last week. Looking at the extended forecast there are a number of very cold days coming up so that should freeze very nicely. There is a chance of snow almost everyday and no warm up in sight so the course should just get better!! This will not be an ice race as there is a lot of drifts on the flowage currently so it should be a very fun & challenging course, approximate length is about 8 miles long but we are looking at trying to get it closer to 10 miles. MERCER RACE IS A GO!!!!

We do not require pre-registration for any of our races but we are asking for everyone that is planning on attending this first race to send in their registration by mail (address on the form) or to [e-mail]. This will greatly expedite the check in process. You can download the form on racer resources page

We are also looking at having a check in period Friday night in the Hideaway Resort lounge and that info plus a race order of events will also be announced next week.

When Andrea & I made the decision to launch this series we knew there would be challenges along the way but a snowless winter like this year was one challenge we did not expect!! Thanks for your patience while we deal with these issues and our goal is to do everything possible to run all 3 races.

If you have any questions please drop me an e-mail at [e-mail]

PS: We will still accept standard season memberships until the first round

January 28th race has been rescheduled, again...

We figured for sure that mother nature would have provided us the much need snow to hold the Summit Lake Game Farm race on the 28th but as of today they have 4" of snow in the woods and the fields have 1" at the most (in the good spots).

This was the last possible weekend of this season to hold the race at the Game Farm and neither of our back-up locations are available for that same weekend so we will move this round to Feb 11th and will announce very soon information for the new venue.

This will make our Feb 4th round be the opening round for the series and there is SNOW on the flowage!! We were up there Thursday and they had 6-8" of snow and it is also drifted plus there is more snow in the forecast for the upcoming weeks. Mercer is in the southern part of the lake effect belt so that is a plus for us!! The town is backing the event 100% and is excited to have a cross country series return the area after a 9 year hiatus.

Everything is all lined up and we are working with the resort to have more pit areas plowed. Since this is the first cross country race with snow in the area we are expecting a good turnout.

We do not require pre-registration but with the anticipation of larger number of riders we are requesting that riders send in their entry forms to speed up the check in process. Payment can be made then at check in (cash or check, no credit cards). They can be mailed or e-mailed to [e-mail]

There will also be a driver check-in period Friday night from 6-8 pm inside the Hideaway Resort.

Please visit www.corpowersports.com for more info or send us an email to [e-mail] to get answers for any question

We look forward to seeing everyone on Feb 4th!!

Ok, here is the information we all have been waiting for:

Feb 11th we will be racing in Phillips, WI at the Birch Island Resort racing on the Wilson Flowage!!

We will be going up to their place on Jan 26th to finalize the course but it will not all be on the flowage as they own a 2 acre island and our plan is to include some of this into the course.

They are prepping the lake right now for an ice drag race on Jan 28th so that is why we could not hold it there the original weekend we had planned for Summit Lake. They have told me there is significant snow on the flowage so we are hoping that the weather stays cold so we will have 3 races with good snow conditions this winter!!

Our Feb 4th round in Mercer, WI has almost a foot of snow so the Turtle Flowage course will be in great race shape!! There is a lot of interest from racers outside of our normal riders so we are asking for everyone to send in the entry forms early to speed up the check-in process. There will be check-in available at the Hideaway Resort from 6-8pm on Friday night before the race and of course starting at 7am on Saturday morning.

March 3rd we will be racing at the historic Telemark Ski Resort and they have been busy making snow and spreading it around our course so even if Mother Nature does not provide they promise we will have great conditions!! After racing is completed we will celebrate the season by having our year end banquet in one of their great banquet rooms that same day. This saves all the racers the cost and time to make another trip just for the banquet.
