Happy Spring!!!! We have been checking ice since last week at Maiden Rock. I just received another report at noon today. We have 17-18″ of good ice with no water and minimal snow. We are going to continue to try and hold a race this weekend as of now, but we are at the mercy of mother nature at this point. There is extensive shore parking if we need to be on shore, and we will have shuttles lined up to bring sleds on the ice for all families if we can not park on the ice. Looking at other venues we will be at the mercy of the weather where ever we decide to go with surface ice due to the temps. Our plan as of now is to monitor the ice for changes daily this week. We plan to have 4 or 5 members setting up the track and trouble shooting any problems late friday as the temps drop at sunset, we feel this is the best chance to make sure we have the best chance of racing this week. Potentially we will also be looking at options such as moving the race order, moving start times up, running two tracks, and eliminating hot laps. These decisions will all be made late in the week. Please be checking the website often this week as we monitor the ice conditions.
Thanks
Jon
