North Shore SNOWCROSS, Feb. 9
posted by Mark McCabe
The North Shore Snowcross Event held last weekend at Warwick Mountain was a huge success.
First of all, I would like to thank some people/sponsors Atlantic Powersports- North River, N.S Summit Snow & Sea Sports- Prospect Road, Halifax Taylor's Tractor Parts- North River, N.S McCabe's Painting, North River, Truro Mitchell Cooke for putting on such a good show Shawn Slaunwhite for riding so hard Marvin MacRae for Building/Maintaining and getting the event going
The event went off without a hitch, the sun was out and the temperature were around -6. They were perfect conditions for a snowcross event. The event started out with time trials for the racers and also for the people who just wanted to get timed. The managment took a play it by ear approach to cater to the requests of the riders. They had head to head racing with four sleds abreast on the start line. There was a lot of enthusium from the fans to watch this type of racing. At the last minute it was decided to have a fun day so all the riders and spectators got to keep there money in their POCKETS! There were two classes of racing, PRO and JUNIOR with Male and Female running together in the Junior class. Danica Cooke of Brookfield showed a lot of the boys how to punch the throttle. The canteen ran out three times during the day to fill up all the hungery fans and riders. 90% of the spectators came by snowmobile.
The results were as follows: PRO CLASS: 1st- Mitchell Cooke 2nd-Shawn Slaunwhite 3rd-Brad Sutherland
JUNIOR CLASS: 1st- Nathan Taylor 2nd-Kyle McCabe 3rd-Danica Cooke
We will be having another event in a couple of weeks and it will be bigger and better than the first, so I hope all of you will come out and share the excitment. Below you will find a picture of Mitchell Cooke struttin his stuff!! Best Regards, Safe Snowmobiling Mark McCabe, North Shore Snowmobile Club

I was just wondering if anyone has any pictures of Ian Horne at the snowcross. I have been living in Phoenix, Arizona for the last ten months and it would be nice to see some familar faces enjoying some of that great CANADIAN snow. I hope that snowcross catches on at home because it is one of the funnest sports out there, besides motocross.....
Thanks, Mark #23
