Wednesday, March 5, 2014 at 7:40PM If you are from California this is hard to relate to. Just goes to show that guys will find a way to race motorcycles despite a little chill.
Fairview Motocross six hour ice race marathon
The start of the 2014 Fairview Motocross Association Six Hour Ice Race Marathon on March 1 at George Lake, about 20 km northwest of Fairview. The racers go off in groups, fastest machines first.
In spite of bone-numbing cold this past weekend there were still a respectable number of racers at George Lake March 1 for the Six Hour Ice Race marathon put on by the Fairview Motocross Association in partnership with Servus Credit Union.
One lone quad joined the motorcycles in a bid to see how many laps of the course they could do in six hours, all running studded tires to give them traction for both steering and acceleration.
The winning team was #13 Cycle West team with 41 laps they took home $500 donated by Dunvegan Inn and suites for the overall event winner
Average speed was around 80km/hr.
The track was 11.5km long and the fastest lap of the day went to team #170 Team Shrinkage with a time of 8min07sec.
Seventeen teams from across the province braved to cold to race on George Lake.
This race was the last race of the season of the AEIRA series. The event is a 6hr team marathon event.
