Trails and Race Track update 2/4/13. 6-8 inches of fresh snow this morning! The race track has 6-8 inches of nice hard packed base with this mornings fresh snow on top, that it will add another inch or two to the base once packed. With the fresh snow the groomers will have some nice material to work with to smooth out the trails. I will post once the operators check in, I know they will be out in force first of the week.
After the spring like weather earlier this week, winter is making a blustery come back today (1/31/13). Weatherman is saying 8-16" of snow for us depending on what the lake effect does, we'll have to wait and see. This big swing in the weather is really making it hard to forecast what will happen for the Winter Drag Race on the 10th. With all the money that goes into insurance, advertizing, and radio. It really puts stress on the race committee to have to make a call one way or the other while we can still recoup some money from these areas. We will try to make the call as soon and best we can by the beginning of the week due to the amount of time the racers and our crew need to get things ready to run the race the way we all expect it to be run. As of now (1/31/13) it is still a go, but we are worried with how wet everything is before the snow finally comes Friday and Saturday. We'll keep you posted.
PS: Thanks to Rich Daily and the guys at SCHRA..The date for the Kissing Bridge race has been changed to the 17th of Feb. Make sure you guys go check it out, and tell them the Drifthoppers sent you. We have been in contact with them both parties will try to work together in the future on dates. Good news for all!
The Drifthoppers' race crew is keeping an eye on the weather for the upcoming Race on Feb 10th. We have built the track a couple of times already this year only to have the weather melt it all away. We will keep you posted after this next warm up coming 1/28 thru 1/30...
Who can sell 600+ Chicken Dinners in a wind/Snow storm???...The Tri-County Drifthopers! Thank you to all that came out and supported our club by buying dinners in some not so nice weather at times. Also hats off to the Cooking Crew!! We may have had colder day's temperature wise, but the wind battled them the whole time. Let's hope some of this cold weather will turn into some white stuff now that this should freeze up the water. We will keep you posted on conditions if the snow comes. Looking forward to the Winter Drags on Feb. 10th, just need snow to make things work out. Keep dancing!
With the trails OPENED for the first time of the season, if you procrastinated in getting your sled registered, you can join our club online line and print out you voucher right from the computer. As a note, the Delevan, NY DMV office should be opened at 8:00am this morning (Thur.) and are open until 5:00pm. This does help to keep the money in the county and out of Albany.
Happy Holidays to All our Tri-County HoppersSnowmobile Club Members..!!
Hopefully Mother Nature will bring us good snows this winter season. Our Trails officially open Wed. Dec. 19th. When we do get enough snow to ride, Please be respectful to our landowners by staying between the stakes and on the marked trail. And, it is going to snow this winter, so get them sleds registered. Early registration helps out our trail funding dollars.
