As much as it hurts me to say it, the Spooner race has been cancelled.
The ice just is not forming at the rate we need it to. On Monday the 28th the ice depth was 2 1/2″, as of Sunday the 3rd it is at 4″. The weather does start to cooperate starting this Sunday with the temps finally hitting below zero at night and single digits for the day time highs.
Going forward the schedule is going to change significantly due to current ice conditions. Certain venue locations will be relocated to other venues. I’m still working on things as we speak and am awaiting return phone calls before any final decision will be made on race locations. Here is what the schedule is looking like:
Potential January Race Locations:
1/23 – White Bear Lake, MN Turtle Lake, WI
1/30 – Center City, MN Spooner, WI — 2 Day Race
Potential February Race Locations:
2/6 – Isanti, MN Center City, MN or Luck, WI
It looks like ice condition are going to improve for the races in February. Any further race location will be announced when and if the need arises.
