From CNY Ice race association: 

Weather is not going to be ‘too cold’ , the event is close by– low cost racing, lots of fun – rental can be available.

 Last weekend we had close to 6 hours of seat time, some great races, and ‘no contact’.

 Contact Roy or Adrienne at Eksten’s (621-8200)

 CNYIRA News

 “Many are cold, few are frozen, and some might turn to slush.”

 It is official. We will be racing this weekend 2/7 and 2/8 on Honeoye Lake. 2 Days for the price of one, or you can show up either day for the price of one.

 There is some warm weather coming in this weekend so we really won’t know for sure about Sunday until late Saturday or very early Sunday morning. I will get someone to post a go or no go for Sunday either late Saturday or very early Sunday. But Saturday is definite.

 Because of the possibility of warm weather coming in, we are going to alter our race day schedule a little. Here is this altered schedule for this weekend:

7:30 to 8:30 Registration.

8:00 to 8:45 Tech inspection

8:30 to 8:35 Practice sessions

8:45 to 8:46 Driver’s meeting

8:47 The racing begins

 Trident Marine is at the northeast corner of Honeoye Lake
off East Lake Rd., perhaps 2 miles south of Rt 20-A.

 To be prepared at registration, download this form and fill it out before you get there...

 Notice that we are starting an hour earlier than usual and there will be a very small limited amount of practice. Also there will be NO lunch break.

 We want to do this with the hurry up offense, with no huddles, because we want to get the racing in ahead of the puddles. And that is so that we won’t need paddles.

 Seriously, our plan is to get Saturday’s racing in as early as possible to avoid as much track degradation as possible. The sooner we can get our races in the better a chance of being able to race on Sunday. We should be able to get in all of our regular races and get off of the ice by about 1:00 if all goes well.

 That means that we need workers and as soon as one race group takes the checkered flag, the next group has to be ready to get up there and take the green flag.

 If you don’t want to race for economic reasons or because you are worried about the conditions or worried about getting beaten by a rear drive Miata, come on out and man a corner station or help with timing and scoring, or whatever. That way it won’t cost you any money and you are spared the embarrassment of being passed by a Miata.

 We need racers to come out and race and we also need workers to come out and work.

 If you need to, you can always call me at 607-546-5887.

 Casey

 PS:  Make sure your car has wipers that work and expect some possible slush. Expect the possibility of some standing water developing in the pits so bring something to put your stuff on.
