Update To Shawano Lake With WKCR

 UPDATE – UPDATE – UPDATE: 8 to 10″ of good ice reported on Shawano Lake as several club members plowed the track to remove the snow. As of this time, the races are on, but no cars, trucks, and trailer allowed on the ice for obvious reasons. Please park at tight as possible in the lots and leave spots in front of bar open for other bar patrons. Thank you!

The first race will be at the Bamboo Bar (Formally Sunset Grill – Sparky’s) on Saturday, December 31, 2016!

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

For those of you that have not heard, the club is going to have an open practice in Shawano the day before the first race (12/30).  This is so everyone can shake down their sleds and get the MANDATORY sled and driver safety checks done.  All drivers and sleds will get safety checks done prior to racing Saturday.  If the sled or driver does not have a inspection sticker, THEY WILL NOT RACE.  Whatever safety inspections are not done on Friday, will have to happen Saturday morning before  they can practice.  The clubs day of open practice will start at 10:00am on Friday, December 30, 2016.  Waiver signing and Teching will be done first.  Your machines will need to get over to the designated teching area.  We are checking SAFETY ITEMS only.  We will also be checking the driver’s equipment at the same time.  Both the sleds and drivers will be getting stickers to apply for passing the safety check.  The track will open for practice at 12:00 or earlier if all the safety checks are done and will end at 3:00.  Checks will include:

Sleds

• Tether kill

• Brakes

• Loops

• Tunnel protector

• Working Tail light (stock or aftermarket for mod)

Driver

• Helmet rating – Snell 2010 or better, ECE 22.05
