Oswego County Fairgrounds next stop for East Coast Snocross,
Presented by Woody’s Traction and FXR
CLARKSBURG, Mass. (Feb. 24, 2019) – For the first time in several years, the sights and sounds of snocross racing are returning to central New York, as East Coast Snocross (ECS) presents two days of high-flying action at the Oswego County Fairgrounds in Sandy Creek, NY, on March 2-3.
Spectator gates open at 10 a.m. each day. Tickets are $12 per day for adults or $20 for a weekend pass. Children age 7 and under are admitted free with a paying adult. Pit passes for those wanting an up-close look at the teams as they work on their machines are available for an extra $10.
Leading the charge into Oswego is Pro Open rider Mike Pilotte. The Team Southside Polaris racer from Fall River, Mass., won the first six finals this season and says he’s having more fun than ever in 2019. He’ll have to fend off hard chargers like Dylan Roes (D&D Racing/Arctic Cat), a successful grass drag racer who is starting to turn some heads in snocross.
Some of the riders to watch in the ultra-competitive Pro Lite class include Dalton Jacquier, Adam Ashline, Adam Levi and Wade Acker. Jacquier and Acker have a pair of wins each in 2019, while Ashline just notched his second consecutive Pro Lite victory in Salamanca, NY, on Saturday.
Other riders to watch in Pro Lite include Tucker Kierstead (D&D Racing/Arctic Cat) and Ryan Dupont (Team Southside/Polaris). All of these young athletes will be contenders in Sandy Creek.
Along with a full slate of racing in Pro and Pro Lite, the Oswego event will also include some good battles in the Sport, Women and Junior divisions. It takes support classes to fill out any card of racing, and the East Coast Snocross series is blessed with strong participation across the board.
This event will also feature a Trail Stock class for those looking to give snocross a try for the first time. Aggressive trail riders with a desire to compete can test their skills in a safe environment. The weekend will also include races for children ages 6 to 10 riding 120cc machines on a separate, smaller track. This is where future stars of the sport learn what racing is all about.
Established in 1816 through an act of the New York State Legislature, Oswego County occupies 968 square miles of land on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario. Rich in natural beauty, the county offers excellent business, educational, and recreational opportunities.
