Been getting calls on the hotline, the answer to all the questions is YES - Fremont is a go for this weekend. The last update from the track was 10+ inches of ice and that was BEFORE several nights in the teens below zero.
As usual, look for updates here if anything changes. Saturday is non-points and Sunday is full points. All classes running both days.
The hotline is 715-212-6340.

2015 Season Update!
(This is the text of the mailing that was sent out Sunday Dec 28)
First off, we hope you all had a great Christmas and that 2015 finds you and your family/friends in good health and happiness. Most of all…..we hope you’re ready for racing at Fremont this weekend (Jan 3rd & 4th)!
First off, we hope you all had a great Christmas and that 2015 finds you and your family/friends in good health and happiness. Most of all…..we hope you’re ready for racing at Fremont this weekend (Jan 3rd & 4th)!
A lot of important
information has come together in the weeks after the Fall Meeting, so we wanted
to make sure everyone was ready and had the latest updates. As always you can find this stuff in detail
on the web site at www.cwira.com.
Remember that if you want
your season points to count this year you (or one of your minions) must
complete a work day as detailed in the rule book shown after rule #47. Worker sign-up is available on the message
board which can be found via the web page.
The 2015 Rule Book is now posted at www.cwira.com.
Also this year we WILL
be enforcing the rider number rules closely.
Get your number BEFORE you show up at the track and display it
correctly or you will not race.
No “slashes” this year – and the “black on white” colors are required.
Attention 250 Bike riders: We
will be running a 250 GP class this year on a trial basis. It will run with the Pro/Am GP Bike class as
a double-drop (but scored by itself) to save time – but if the class turnout
supports it we may bust it out as a separate class. Other new classes this year include Old
Skool Studded Quad and Outlaw Pee-Wee.
The 2015 Schedule: Jan 3/4 - Fremont; Jan 11 Tilleda; Jan 18 Rock Dam; Jan 25 Lake Altoona; Feb 1 Tomah; Feb 7/8
Weyauwega; Feb 15
Dexterville; Feb 22 Hatfield.
The fun stuff: As usual the Fremont opener is
a Sat/Sun race with Saturday being a full schedule of classes but non-points. Sunday Jan 4th is race one
of the points season with all classes running for the first points of the
year. Week two takes us a new venue for
us at Tilleda. Take Hiway 29 East of
Wittenberg to get there – Tilleda just a bit off the Hiway. The usual map and other details is up on the
web site.
Jan 25th is
the Winter Fest & Games Weekend at Altoona. We are running Sunday and the NWIRC
will be there Saturday. There’s a lot
going on there that weekend – the location is just across Hiway 53 from Eau
Claire – so if you want to race both days you won’t find a better opportunity. Links to all the events that weekend are on
the web site.
Feb 1 is the CWIRA
Mid-Season Championship at Tomah and that race never fails to put on one of
the best shows of the year. And speaking
of shows, note that the following weekend we spend two days at Weyauwega. This year we do not share the track
with the sleds and have the fairgrounds oval all to ourselves. Saturday Feb 7 is Pro/Am Day
with limited classes and bigger cash payouts – but non-points. Sunday Feb 8 is full classes and
points and at this time the plan will include GP Classes.
This all takes us to the
weekend of Feb 15. This year the
AMA Amateur Ice Nationals will be in Wisconsin that weekend just South of
Madison on Lake Koskonong. The CWIRA
will be host to the Wisconsin State Ice Racing Championship on Lake
Dexter at Dexterville on Sunday.
We close out the season Feb 22 at Hatfield. It would be wise to keep the following
weekend open as we may need to re-schedule an event to that date.
That about wraps it up. If you haven’t renewed yet there is a form on
the back of this sheet – PLEASE CHECK THE RIDER NUMBER LIST ON THE WEB SITE
– the taken numbers will be shown there.
See you at Fremont!

New tracks and stuff....
Now that the 2015 schedule is set we have posted the site info for the two new venues this year - Tilleda and Altoona. Both should be outstanding races but for very different reasons. Click on the "Schedules" link above and then on the dates for those races to get the info. (or you can cheat: Tilleda and Altoona)
Some of you have been to the Millpond at Tilleda - they run a great program there for cars and Quads all year. Great community support there and really nice people.
Altoona? Should I start with the seven bands playing all weekend? Or the softball tournament? How about NWIRC running there on Saturday so you can hit both series at the same place on the same weekend? And all of this just across Hiway 53 from Eau Claire.
TRACK WORKERS NEEDED As in past years the message board has the sign-up list for track workers at each of our races this year. Get signed up now!!!!!
Lastly, remember we do "protect" rider numbers and this year we will not allow numbers that don't follow the rules. Get it right or you don't race. And if someone has the number locked up that you showed up to race with you will be changing it - no more slashes folks.
Avoid the lines and the confusion those first few weeks - send in your membership now. Here's the links: CWIRA Membership Form and List of taken Rider Numbers

AMA Ice Nationals - Wisconsin
The promoters of the 2015 AMA Ice Nationals gave us a courtesy call the other day. This year the Nationals will be in Wisconsin - on Lake Koshkonong based out of the Oaklawn Academy facility near Edgerton. (map)
The date for this event is Feb 14-15.
As it was that would normally be the weekend we would be racing with the sleds at Weyawega. This year we will be there the week before and there is talk of a Pro/Am event on Saturday with our points race on Sunday so that worked out great. The folks at the Nationals want to help cross-promote our stuff both before and after their event to drive up entries. That could make a real interesting field at Weyawega!
This is all a bit of a curve ball as far as the February scheduling goes so we are still working on how those weeks are going to play out. Soon as we know the dates for February (after the CWIRA Mid-Season Championsips at Tomah and the Weyawega Pro/Am/Points) we will will update everything.

New Classes for 2015
One of the things we will be finalizing at the Fall Meeting Oct 26 is the pair of new classes for the 2015 season.
OLD SKOOL QUAD (studded)
In general terms, this is for the hot quads that used to dominate 15-20 years ago. Think Honda and Suzuki 250 2-strokes. What we're working on yet is the formula for keeping stuff like 500 Quadzillas and Banshees eligible but still fair for the "smaller" 250cc rigs.
OUTLAW PEE-WEE QUAD
In case you hadn't noticed, there are a ton of larger/faster Pee-Wee Quads out there that don't fall into what we allow in our Pee-Wee division. Just look at the crop of AMA Pee-Wee Quads racing all summer and you get the idea. Also, often folks will show up at our events with a PeeWee that is for one reason or another too much to fairly allow with our riders. This class is a place for those riders to jump in to.
Details of both classes will be finalized at the Fall Meeting.

CWIRA Fall Meeting flyers hitting the mail Thursday. Is yours in there? If you don't get one to your "household" that means there is a problem with the address in our database or we just don't have a complete/correct one. I sent out to each address we have on file that raced with us in 2014, and I send just one to each address. Shoot me an email if you think you should have gotten a copy so I can update my files cwirainfo@gmail.com - that will come directly to me.
