SAFETY THE NO. 1 PRIORITY

Snowcross racing is one of the safest forms of competitive snowmobiling; our officials go to great lengths to present a safe and controlled competition.

Safety starts before the snowmobiles enter the racecourse area. Every racers machine is safety inspected by technical staff who inspect steering carbides, studs, lighting, engine kill switches, brake operation, etc. Each rider must wear appropriate safety equipment such as approved helmets and eye protection, upper body protection (Tekvest), shin and kneepads, etc.

The race course is designed so the first turn is wide, and on a gradual sweep to reduce the chance of collision as racers approach the first turn bunched together, jockeying for the right racing-line or the “hole shot.” Sharp turns and jumps are often implemented onto the course design to keeps speeds down and to provide a challenging race course for the competition and also to create exciting race action for the spectators at a safe distance from the track, as well as to keep other snowmobilers form entering the race course area.

A minimum of six officials are on the racecourse at all times to assist racers if an accident should occur. Near the pit area, an ambulance with two additional EMT’s and advanced life support equipment are present at all times.

Though everyone’s safety is foremost, we are sensitive to the environment as well; we enforce strict sound level requirements for all the snowmobiles that compete at our events. We pride ourselves on our high safety standards both on the racecourse and off. If an accident was to occur, our trackside rescue team is ready to assist immediately.

We hope you enjoy our Snowcross racing events. If you ride the trails on a snowmobile or ATV remember to ride responsibly. If you want to ride hard and fast, do it at a sanctioned event where everyone is going in the same direction in a safe controlled environment.

Remember RIDE SAFE, RIDE SMART, and RIDE SOBER!
