Fantasy Moto
News May ATV Racing Update
Apptleton, WI (5/8/2007) - only twelve
more days to the opening round of the Potawatomi Northern
Cup Motocross Series presented by Rock River Powersports.
This years opening round will once again take place at
Nordic Mountain in Mt. Morris, Wisconsin as the “wheels”
portion of the Water, Wheels and Ice Extreme Sports Weekend.
Comparing last year’s Nordic Mountain event to this year’s event
is like comparing the kiddy rides in the entranceway
at Walmart (last year) to a Six Flag’s Amusement
Park (this year). The 2006 track was crammed onto the
two smallest runs at Nordic Mountain. The 2007 track
is sprawled out over the 3 longest runs! The holeshot
sends riders directly under the chair lift into a 90-degree
right hand turn and straight up the main run. Without
a doubt – one of the best features for spectators
will be the ride up the chair lift as the races are
taking place below! No more woods sections, no more
branches and no more roots. Instead there will be lots
of elevation change, natural terrain and wide racing
surface on tap for the new track.
Saturday, May 19th will feature the best talent District
16 has to offer as the NCM takes to the slopes. Practice
at 8 AM sharp.
Sunday, May 20th will host round 2 of the Ultimate
Quad MX Championships presented by Janssen Motorsports.
Reminder to ATV racers that Sunday’s program will
have a late start so that we can stay in line with the
requirements of our conditional use permit. We will
have the riders meeting prior to practice at 9:15 AM
on Sunday with practice to follow. This is a slight
change in the order of events as well as start time
– please make the note. (This time change applies
to Sunday’s ATV event only).
Here is what the folks over at Nordic have to say
about the event.
“We've all heard the cliche "Go Big, Or
Go Home." At Nordic Mountain we are making the
cliche a reality. People have called us crazy to try
to save snow until the end of May, but our snowmakers
simply considered at a cool challenge, blowing over
20 feet of snow on Avalanche throughout year. We've
since covered the snow and it will be here for the
weekend of May 19th to the 20th!
On Saturday the 19th, we will have a special appearance
from the Smith Optics Limo, and participants will
get the opportunity to slide this awesome rail as
part of the competition. You may have seen this limo
at large national comps, and we'll have it right here
at Nordic! Visit the limo's My Space page.
The rail jam serves as the "ice" portion
of our Water, Wheels, and Ice Weekend. So what are
the water and the Wheels? Fort Fremont Marine will
be building a temporary pond out of hail bails in
our parking lot to create a wakeboarding rail jam!
Fantasy Moto will again be hosting a motocross ATV
and dirtbike event on Saturday and Sunday to take
care of the wheels portion of the event. For those
of you who saw it last year, this year will blow it
away...the races will be on our biggest hills and
we'll have the chairlift running directly overhead
for spectators!
Don't miss this rare opportunity to see Wakeboarding,
Motocross, and Skiing/Snowboarding all in the same
weekend--but wait, if you must miss, we are doing
it all over again on June 2-3!!! (Snow permitting)
Come Friday and stay all weekend. We will have rough
camping available, and Nordy's Pub and the Nordic Cafe
will be serving great food all weekend. We are currently
working on live music for Saturday night TBA.”
Pine Ridge Raceway’s Loretta Lynn’s Area
Qualifier is this coming weekend, May 12 and 13. What
to expect – close, fast racing! Mother Nature
needs to be a little easier on this event for 2007 and
