Here are the schedules for both Saturday & Sunday for Event #3 (basically the same as event #2)

Once again we plan on charging spectators a $10 per vehicle entry fee on Sunday and like event #2 we anticipate a good crowd to cheer on the ice drifters and racers.

Thanks to all the volunteers that helped put on another successful race weekend at Lake Shirley! Once again the concept of promoting spectators to the event proved successful despite it adding some extra logistics and volunteer efforts to manage. Some great PR for the club, IceX and Ice Racing. The next 2 events are part of Winter Festivals so we are not in control of the spectators at these events however we anticipate some good size crowds to attend. 

The track conditions proved challenging and we are strategizing on how to best manage the ice surface rutting caused by the studded cars. We anticipate few issues at the Lake Winnipeg event however we will likely need to adjust plans for Gimli to accommodate the 2 back to back days of studded car racing. Both events are open on MSR so register now and especially plan for an overnighter at the Lakeview Hotel (discounted rooms reserved for WSCC) and attend the season ending Ice Banquet and Awards ceremony!
