Tim Moon, assis- tant general manager of Black- jack said, “The event is open to the public with free admission. This is our second year hosting and we are already discussing doing it for a third year.” The weather was warm and the sky was overcast Saturday, keeping the sun from blinding the racers and spectators. Todd Meyers, event organizer, said the conditions on the ski hills were excellent for late winter or early spring snowmobile racing. Meyers usually runs about 12 events per year between Minn., Wis., and the U.P. and it is a whole family affair.
