THE GREATEST SPECTACLE ON
ICE HEADS TO SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO FOR THE 2006
WORLD GRAND FINALE!
 The
30th Annual World Championship ICE Racing Series
Grand Finale will top off a very special season
on April 22nd & 23rd in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The last two World Championship Points Rounds
will take place at the beautiful Coliseo de
Puerto Rico (www.coliseodepuertorico.com).
The 2006 World Champions will be crowned in
both professional divisions of ice racing
including the all new Manufacturers World Cup
Motorcycles and the Unlimited Outlaw Quads. The
world’s top ice racers will be competing headed
up by World Championship points leaders in both
divisions. “Showtime” Johnny Murphree from the
USA will be trying to win the title in the
Manufacturers World Cup Bikes. These bikes are
very powerful, state-of-the-art racing machines
manufactured by the world’s major factories.
Johnny is also well known as one of the stars of
last summer’s X-Games SuperMoto Championship.
Murphree, who races for Honda, holds a slim
points lead over fellow American and arch rival
Shaun Russell, who also rides for Honda. It’s
either rider’s World Championship to win or lose
in San Juan.
Canada’s World Champion ice racer Dick Matei
will be going for his second world title in the
Pro Outlaw Quad Division. The Outlaw Quads are
highly modified, anything goes 4-wheel ATV’s.
They are often referred to as “the race cars you
sit on – not in!”
 Also being invited to Puerto Rico are select
top competitors in the nitro burning open X-KART
Division as well as the always entertaining and
exciting Rocket Bar Stools on ice. Local Puerto
Rican racers are also expected to compete in pro
and amateur classes.
Racers will be arriving in San Juan on April
20th to participate in numerous media and
recreational activities across the beautiful
Caribbean island. Some of the recreational
opportunities offered are visiting pirate era
sites in Old San Juan, jet skiing, snorkeling
and diving in crystal clear water, surfing, deep
sea fishing or just kicking back on a white sand
beach enjoying one of those icy umbrella rum
based adult beverages. World Championship ICE
