Since I live in MN and don't get out to the mountains enough I needed to find a way to use my snowbike this year. I used to race sleds and ERX Motorpark in Elk River and reached out to them. They said they have talked about allowing snowbikes to race there on Thursday nights but haven't had anyone ask. They told me if I can come up with snowbike racers and guarantee atleast 4 racers per night she would start a class for them. So anyone interested please get in contact with me!!! Its cheap, to race there to btw (as far as racing goes anyway).
Snowbike racing Minnesota

- Start date
I rode there years ago with my snowhawk and found the layout not very bike friendly. I'm also too old and fat. Hopefully you find some guy's to ride. Would be cool to watch. Maybe I'll get back in shape and get the bike there.

Look up corpowersports. I raced in their MESC circuit last season with my snowbike. Was a blast! They have multiple disciplines too. I raced hill-X, hill climb, and XC at big powderhorn ski hill in Michigan and Lutsen mountains on the north shore. They have also added an XC race this coming season at Baraga Michigan.
How often would we race at ERX? Get some more details and I would be interested. I don't know if I could race every week tho.
This could be pretty neat considering the Xgames will now include snowbikes now. ERX could gain a few new riders, especially after the airtime on ESPN.
There will most likely be a race in Detroit Lakes again this year too. That is part of the national snowbike race series.

You could also just plan out a day for a practice session. It doesn't have to be a Thursday. We had about 4 hawks and 2 bike kits when we went. I know I wouldn't be able to make it to Thursday racing. Can't get home from work that soon.

I'd be open to some practice and a few race nights (that I could make), but I can't commit to an entire season.
ISOC just announced that they are adding a snowbike class to their ams oil nationals races. Duluth race is thanksgiving weekend and is always a great show!
I could make a Saturday and/or Sunday.
Not much feedback in this forum maybe also try Facebook.

Ya I was going to race duluth until I realised it's about $180 with 1 day memberships, race fees, the insurance they make you purchase, plus hotel and fuel I'll have $3-400 into it and may not even make it into the finals. That's the same price I pay to for lodging, fuel, food and 3 days of riding in the snowies so I'll pass. Might try and hit up erx, but haven't heard anymore on that.
