The dumping of snow in the area may not be much fun for travellers but some people know
how to make the most of it. While motorists struggled to get from place to place,
snowmobilers and skiers delighted in the abundance of fluffy ground cover. (Mark Nonkes photo)LOW
Snowcross comes to Walton 'a’
One of the events affected by the
past weekend storm was the
opening round of the Ontario
Snowcross Championship which
was to be held on Sunday at
Motopark near Williamsford just
north of Durham. Unfortunately the
only way into the site was by
snowmobile and race officials and
personnel became stranded on
route.
The good news is that there is
excellent snow cover at the Walton
track which is to host round two
and three of the race series this
Sunday, Jan. 10 and Jan. 31. The
Lee family and the B-W
Trailblazers snowmobile club are
busy getting the parking lots
cleared, the track groomed and the
various facilities for food, sound,
etc. ready.
Snowcross is an exciting new
sport similar to motocross. The
competitors start all together on a
start line and complete 10-15 laps
of a closed course. The course
consists of left and right turns, off
and on cambers and the real crowd
favourite, JUMPS. The more
skilled can leap 40 - 50 feet and get
10-12 feet in the air.
Combined with the intense bar-
to-bar action in the corners and
incredibly rough straights the
action has to be wild and
spectacular.
Many of the finest Ontario riders
are expected to be competing for
the first time this season.
