Snocross will return to Crested Butte, Colo., for the seventh year and offer action on Feb. 11 – 12, 2006. Racers from the western United States will compete for prizes and cash in this Mountain States Snowmobile Racing (MSSR) event that is coordinated by Gunnison County Sno-Trackers.
On both Feb. 11 and 12, the qualifying rounds kick off at 9 a.m., with races to follow at 10 a.m. at the Crested Butte Town Ranch. In all, spectators can enjoy more than 50 races and five hours of excitement over the course of this two-day event. Admission to the races is free.
Snocross is today’s most popular form of snowmobile racing with its high-flying aerial displays and short-track, which makes it both spectator and television friendly. A Snocross track features tight turns, banked corners and a variety of bumps allowing racers to catch big air in full view of spectators.
MSSR offers race classes for all ages and skill levels from four years old and up. The four Pro categories include Pro Open (up to 800cc liquid-cooled machines), Pro Stock (440cc), Pro Am Women (600cc), and Pro Am Plus 35 (600cc). In the Semi-Pro category, there will be Open, Performance and Stock classes with machines ranging from 500 cc to 800 cc.
The Sports class will have four categories: Open, Performance, Stock and Stock Fan. Three Novice and two Women’s classes also will race. The Junior class will feature racers between the ages of 10 and 16, while the 120 class is open to children ages 4 – 12.
