Sleds, Bikinis and Grocery Carts for CharityDiscover Wisconsin presents: Sleds, Bikinis and Grocery Carts for Charity
ST GERMAIN, Wisconsin (January 7th 2013) ? over 200 Snowmobile racers from all over the Midwest will gather on West Bay of Little St. Germain Lake the first weekend in February 2013 to compete for trophies on the fastest shaved ice track in Wisconsin, claim grocery cart race glory, fight breast cancer in bikinis and witness amazing exhibition sleds all before a sanctioned drag race.
The 10th annual charity event hosted by Discover Wisconsin and St. Germain Radar Racers starts Friday February 1st lasting through Sunday February 3rd with a variety of events for racers and families featuring Saturday?s class specific trophy races and two events back for their second year in a row. Saturday will also host World Speed Record Exhibition Sleds at 3pm and Sunday is the return of the sanctioned two lane drag races sponsored by St. Germain Drag Racers.
The weekend action starts Friday February 1st when racers tune their sleds and take practice runs on two tracks. Racers choose between the Twilight Bar 660 with 660 feet of groomed snow or 1000 feet of shaved ice on the Thunderbird Pass 1000. Anyone is welcome to ride in off the trail and test their machines on either track with $5 fun runs or 5 runs for $20.
The main event on Saturday has registration starting at 9 am and racing between 10am-4pm. Racers compete for class specific trophies and prizes on the Thunderbird Pass 1000. Registration is $25 for 3 trophy runs or $5 for individual fun runs.
Expect world record holders to start early Saturday morning at 10am when the track conditions are at their best. Top speed wins the Sno-King Traveling Trophy on display at the International Snowmobile Hall of Fame. Racing classes include vintage, stock, pro-stock, modified, turbo and specialty classes. Prizes and trophies are awarded to the top 3 winners in each class at Knockers Pizza Company off of Highway 70 at 5:30pm.
When thirst and hunger strike there?s no reason to leave the lake, volunteers from the Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club will be serving beer, hot beverages and great food all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For the second year in we will have our vendor?s row section for our snowmobile obsessed fans. Space available for additional vendors who want to come get some great exposure to a huge crowd.
Paid parking is available on the ice for trailers, spectators and racers all weekend, as well as designated parking areas along Highway 70. Follow the signs on Hwy 70 in town to the track off of Patton Rd.
As Saturday afternoon continues, the Camps Supervalu Grocery Cart races start at 1 pm with teams competing for cash prizes as they laugh and struggle to push Camps grocery carts down the ice.
Racing for trophies is one thing but racing to fight breast cancer is another. The ladies (and gentlemen!) of the Knocker?s Pizza Company Run aim to do just that. At 2 pm, the crowd goes crazy for Knocker?s Bikini Run for charity. Participants race their snowmobiles down the Twilight Bar 660 competing for top speed honors in ? yes - their bikinis! For months, participants gather pledges for the run. In 2012, the racers generated $14,000 in pledges which were donated to Pink Ribbon Riders, Plum Lake Ambulance Service, and the St. Germain Fire & Rescue Department. The racer with the highest combined total of pledges and speed takes home Knocker?s Pizza Company Traveling Trophy for the year along with a prize, but the racer with the fastest speed will win the Angry Dave?s top speed memorial trophy.
Though prizes and trophies are awarded Saturday night, the weekend isn?t over yet. On Sunday February 3th St. Germain Drag Racing is sponsoring 2 lane drag races on 660 feet of shaved ice. E-mail any questions for the St. Germain Drag race to stgermaindragracers@yahoo.com.
