National Ice Racing Championships Cancelled
February 17, 2006
Due to major changes in ice conditions as a
result “Blizzard Christine” Fantasy Moto is
being forced to cancel the 2006 National Ice
Racing Championships. Over 12 inches of snow
fell in the area last night and sustained winds
of 35 MPH caused shifting in the ice resulting
in unsafe and very unpredictable conditions.
Although the area is expecting very cold
temperatures over the next several days, the
snow cover is acting like insulation and
improved conditions cannot be expected.
Safety is first and foremost right now, and
we personally would not drive anything onto the
lake. While checking conditions and attempting
to plow the track for next weekend, we broke
through four newly formed cracks in a matter of
100 yards this morning. Last nights storm took
its toll on the ice. The potential risk is not
worth putting peoples lives in danger. We will
apply for the race again, regroup and start
working towards the event for next year.
We are extremely disappointed and wish we
could share better news but unfortunately Mother
Nature has not been co-operative this winter.
Pre-registered racers will be refunded in the
order their entries were received. Please allow
2-4 weeks for processing.
Fantasy Moto will be promoting an AMA Pro-AM
TT event at the famous Crandon International
Off-road Raceway on June 10th, 2006. We hope to
finally meet many of you that were making the
long trip to Wisconsin when the weather is a bit
warmer in June.
Sincerely,
Fantasy Moto and Harrison Promotions
