What a shame the track is there, the riders all want to come and we can't have an event. I would like to ask more but hey whats the use. I think Marvin, Mark and all the guys deserve a big Thanks for trying to have another event. I feel that Snocross is the wave of the future in our area and it is a shame that perhaps others don't see what we can. Well take care all and thanks for trying.
Later,
Thanks

Hmmm , where to begin. The race was first postponed to obtain a beer liscence , now cancelled because "THE DIRECTORS DO NOT AGREE WITH THE SPORT" Does that imply the North Shore Snowmobile Club , does not support snowmobiling? Snowcross is the only form of racing that is growing,and has a large potential in this area. Have a race every second weekend , have it open to club members , try to increase you membership in the club , not discourage people from coming.Thanks to Marvin and Mark for the first event , we are all sorry it was a one shot deal.

Story has it that the president of the north shore club still has "boggy" wheels under his sled, and thinks anybuddy that can go faster than 30 mph is a dare devil!!!!!

Man, the north shore club is completly falling aprt they dont have enough money, dont have enough members, and all they want to do about it is drink and then go on night ralleys. It's like the're trying to kill someone!! When they postponed the race to get a fiddle band and a beer licence that was the end of the cord. They wonder why people started to abandon there club, it's because all that the directors want to do is sit around, drink and play cards insted of encouraging the sport to make it better for others in many ways. I hope that this problem will be solved and marvin will achive what he's been trying to do in holdinmg a snowcross race or two.
Thanks for reading,

I've been alerted by some friends and family that my previos remarks came out wrong, what I ment to say is that I don't agree with a club sponsering night ralleys, i'm sure that some people will agree with me. I don't belive in them because, I for one have sleded throught the trails after a night ralley and there are quite a few people that missed the corners weather this be related to visibility or anything else I still don't belive in them. I diden't mean to offend any members, any of the excellent volenteers, staff or anyone else. I just belive that people and children alike could hav a much better time if they held a rally on like a saturday afternoon and a danse to follow insted of the opposite. I know for a fact that this is the was that Sutherland's holds events and they are greatly enjoyed by all the participants. As for the president of the club i'm sorry I over-reacted, also i'm now informed that the reason that they canceled the races is because they couldent afford the insurance. Any way I hope that next year Marvin and Mark can continue there excellant effort put into organising an event, hopefully we can get some sponsers or what have you to help pay the rising insurance rates.
I hope this helps to clarify what i said,
