I got this info in the inbox today about the return of racing to Ironwood’s historic track:
Michigan’s Western Upper Peninsula invites you to be a part of the biggest snowmobile extravaganza the upper Midwest has ever seen! January 4th through the 12th will be jam packed with fast races, exciting events, snowmobile shows and activities for ages in an amazing event called Sledfest ‘08.
USSA sanctioned Oval racing and Vintage Pro racing kick off January 4th through the 6th at the Gogebic County Fair Grounds in Ironwood, Michigan. Friday is test and tune day. Racers will be around for autographs and pictures. Check out the Expo building for food, snowmobile gear and more. Saturday, racers take to the track at 10 A.M.; the day will feature a memorial race for the late Jim Adema. In addition to racing, the weekend features a Vintage Snowmobile show, snowmobile swap meet, vendors and exhibits. All are invited to a reception at the Hurley Inn for cocktails, buffet dinner, awards presentation, and music. Sunday concludes oval and vintage racing from 10 A.M. until dark.
