MOUNTAIN IRON - The 2013 KCPRO-East race season is just around the corner, and the group has a special offer for new members.
The non-profit kids racing organization, open to kids ages 4 to 14, offers a regular membership for $75 per family but is offered a reduced 2013 rate:
- Only $25.00 if you register and pay before December 1, 2012; or
- Just $50.00 for all other new 2013 members.
KCPRO-East is a non-profit youth snowmobiling organization that has been around since 1991 and encourages friendship and sportsmanship through competitive racing from the Beginning Racer to the more experienced Modified Racers.
KCPRO-East is a great organization and offers family fun, an entertaining atmosphere, and a great way to spend the Minnesota winters.
We have 15 different classes that the kids race depending on their age and race experience. Each racer receives awards and goodie bags at the ceremony following each racing event.
KCPRO-East membership allows racers to accumulate points for year-end awards, grants voting rights on issues affecting the organization, allows for payment of reduced race fees, entitles you to a copy of KCPRO-East’s annual yearbook, as well as a copy of the current ISR yearbook, and provides a variety of
racer benefits at the year-end race banquet.
There is substantial benefit to being a KCPRO-East race member. And the membership fee is the same whether you have one, two or more racers in your family.
The group recently set its 2013 race schedule, which begins on Jan. 5 at Side Lake (north of
Chisholm). From there, they compete at Pike Lake (outside of Duluth) on Jan, 12; and Bailey Lake in Virginia on Jan. 26.
February includes events in Grand Rapids on Feb. 2; Feb. 9 at Longyear Lake in Chisholm for Polar
Bear Days; and event at Fortune Bay on Feb. 16 on Lake Vermilion; and a race on Feb. 23 atFish Lake outside of Duluth.
March 2 and 3 is the group's big two-day Northern Nationals event at Side Lake. The State Championship event attracts many racers from the Kids Pro Ice group from the Twin Cities area, as well as racers from KCPRO-West and other organizations come to compete.
The final event of the year is March 9 in
International Falls.
At the end of each race event an awards ceremony is held at a local sponsor’s place of business. At the
awards ceremony, in addition to the variety of awarded handed out, all of the racers receive a treat bag filled with goodies. To our young racers, the awards ceremony is almost as much fun as the race day.
Our year-end race banquet will be held in April. The banquet is held in conjunction with our spring race
meeting and is always a great day celebrating the end of the race season. Keep an eye on our website www.kcproeast.com for updates and changes to our race season and banquet information.
If you’re thinking about racing this winter, now is the time to join. The membership form and lots of
other information can be found on our website. The enclosed brochure also provides additional
information about KCPRO-East ages and race classes.
We hope to see you on the ice in 2013!
