End-Of-Season Points

The last point totals of the year have been posted on the Results page of cwira.com.
The direct link is here:  cwira.com/17results/points.

The "1-week" protest period has begun.  That means if you find an issue with the the points we allow 1 week (till March 7) - after that the point totals are FINAL.  Also, you will notice some of the names on the list are in red.  Those names are not eligible for CWIRA awards in 2017 because either they did not complete the work requirement or not enough races in that class.  The list of people who have completed the work requirement can be found HERE.

After the protest period is over we will be posting a list of riders getting awards in 2017 along with the Class Champions.

If you need to contact us call the pointskeeper at 715-212-6340 or email to cwirainfo@gmail.com

2017 End Of Season

As you may have already heard the combined SWIRA/CWIRA event at Lake Wisconsin has already been cancelled by the hosting club SWIRA.

Do not go there - there will not be any racing.

We have not been able to secure an alternative site so racing for 2017 is over.  Keep checking here and the Facebook/CWIRA page for information on the awards and Banquet.

A word about points.....

As we near the end of the season I want to go over a few Points About Points.  Over the course of the season riders have been working at events to complete the "Work Requirement" of earning Championship Points with the CWIRA.  The list of riders who have completed the work is here: Completed Worker List.

On the day/weekend the work is done no points are awarded for that rider.  And to keep the balance fair between workers who race and those who don't we advance any rider finishing behind.  That is why on some of the listings you will see a rider in a points paying finish position but scored zero points.  That event should match the listed event for that rider in the worker list link.  Also, working on a Saturday means the event on Sunday would be the one affected by the zero points.

A different factor is the "Throw Out Race".  In the CWIRA we do not count your worst finish in the points total - your throw out.  Work days DO NOT count in this.  So a typical points line for a rider would show (assuming an eight event series) points awarded in 7 or 8 weeks (maybe they raced on a work weekend, maybe they didn't) and the lowest of the non-working weekends will not be counted.  Often, riders will choose to not race a week taking advantage of that as the throw out.

The points have been updated after the Weyauwega event and all work done so far in the season have been factored in to the totals.  The only thing we can not show is the Throw Out - so as you look at the totals remember the lowest points week - other than the work week - will be thrown out and not counted.

You can find the points totals on the "Points/Results" tab at the top of the cwira.com page.

Wisconsin State Ice Racing Championship @ Dexterville

Shorts and flip flops?  After talking with the promoter for this weekend things are looking better than expected - lots of ice and plans for parking if needed.

However we expect that practice may be cut short or otherwise reduced.  Be there early and ready to go because with the expected high of 50 the ice may deteriorate quickly.  The sooner we get the program going the better the racing will be.

Remember to watch our Facebook feeds and the raceday hotline for updates:  715-212-6340.

Fire On Ice - CWIRA/SWIRA Weekend

Scotty B. told me Saturday that there were over 110 actual races in front of the Grandstand over the course of Snocross, UTV, Motorcycle and Quads racing!  And THAT was only Saturday!  Thanks to all our partners in making this weekend happen for Weyauwega - it was a hell of a an event!

The results for the Sunday points-paying portion of the weekend are now posted - the rest of the information will be up in the next few days.  Use the "Points/Results" tab at the top of the cwira.com page or the direct link to Sunday Weyauwega results.
