Weyauwega & Dexterville
As we move into the action of February, a couple things:
This weekend the race at Weyauwega will again share the Fire on Ice spotlight with the USSA Champ Sleds. All times will move one hour early so be ready to start racing before 9am. We will have sign-up open at 7am. There will NOT be any GP classes running at Weyauwega.
Next weekend the Wisconsin State Ice Racing Championship returns to Lake Dexter South of Pittsville. Because of the Hatfield cancellation in week three we will ALSO have a FULL CWIRA POINTS RACE on Saturday at the same location. Normal times both days.
A reminder about "Worker Points" - if you do not get a full day of working in you will not receive ANY points for the year. There are only a limited number of races and worker spots left so don't get caught at the end of the year without a spot to work! If you have ANY questions about this PLEASE contact John Strangfeld.
Recap of the remaining CWIRA schedule:
Feb 10 - Weyauwega - 1 hour early start times
Feb 16 Saturday - Dexterville - Full CWIRA points event
Feb 17 Sunday - Dexterville - Wisconsin State Ice Racing Championship w/full points
Feb 24 Sunday - Hatfield - CWIRA Season Finale
We need workers at all of these events so if you haven't signed up yet do so soon!

250 AM Motorcycle Class
We've only had a few riders in the 250 AM Bike class - so in an effort to see more bikes on the track we will now allow 2-Strokes UP TO 250cc in that class. So the class structure now says Motorcycles up to 250cc with no reference to it being a smoker or a cammer.

Hatfield Canceled
The race at Hatfield set for Sunday Jan 20 has been cancelled. The ice conditions at the race site would have required us to again pit on shore so with no vehicle/trailer protection on the ice the -25 wind chill forecast for race morning would have created a dangerous situation.
We hope to find a way to schedule a "make-up" race later in the season - more details on that as we figure something out. If you know of someone planning to attend this event that does not check the Internet please do them a favor and pass along the cancellation info.
See you all next week at Rock Dam!

Hatfield???????
Be advise that we are watching the weather very closely for Sunday - some forecasts are predicting zero degrees and 20mph winds - and we may cancel this race due to dangerously cold conditions.
If/when this is decided it will be posted here and on our twitter.com/cwira feed. It will also be updated on the hotline at 715-212-6340.

Race Times
The number 1 question I get on the Hotline during the week is "What time do the races start?". So, here's the usual schedule:
Sign-up opens at 8 and stays open till 10.
Practice starts at 8:30/9 (usually) and runs till about 10:15.
Riders meeting at 10:30 with racing starting right after - usually about 10:45/11am.
Now, we make it a point to never turn away anybody who shows up late but the rules do say there is a fine for signing up after 10. I've rarely done that if you are just late or something, or decide later in the morning to add a class. Just do what you can to get signed up on time & we'll be OK. One of the things that happens at sign-up is I have to print out the class rosters for the Heat splits at 10 so they are ready for the riders meeting - when you sign up late all that has to be done over and it's a mess. So if you are pulling in the gate close to 10 GET YOUR BUTT TO SIGN-UP or have one of your people do it for you. If you get there late and need a sighting lap because you missed practice we will get you out there if we can. I've had riders in the past worry more about practice than signing up - BIG NO-NO. You MUST be entered and properly waivered BEFORE we can allow you on the track. Those are the folks who will get the "late entry fine".
