KILLINGTON, Vermont (April 4, 2012) – Former champion Danny Poirier blasted his way to victory in the Pro Open final Sunday, as East Coast Snocross (ECS) wrapped up its inaugural season at the historic Pico Mountain ski resort.
Poirier (Hulten Speed Sports/No. 312), of St. Theodore, QC, grabbed the holeshot in the day’s biggest race, only to be passed by Morin as the two started down the track’s treacherous downhill section. Morin carried too much speed at the bottom and launched his sled out over the berm, coming to rest on its side next to the ECS office trailer.

NH’s Ice Racers Gather to Celebrate a Great Year of Racing
Moultonboro, NH – The Lakes Region Ice Racing gathered at the Moultonboro Lion’s Club to celebrate the 2011 ice racing season. A social hour with lots of stories about this year’s eight ice races was followed by a fantastic prime rib dinner. With the preliminary socializing and eating out of the way, club patriarch and long time ice and dirt racer Jack Cook MC’d the recognitions portion of the evening.
One of the first pieces of business was to present the Norris Cotton Cancer Center with a check for $8,000. The donation was made possible by the club’s annual Latchkey Cup charity event held this year on Jan 29th. The pledges collected by the drivers, the sponsor donations, and the Lakes Region fan support combined to make this generous donation possible.
