Awesome. So a lake course set up then multiple laps to the finish or timed event? Not much for snow drags in Alberta. I believe some in central Alberta are the only ones I ever heard of? Maybe someone like SledderGlen would know? Lots of informal ones all over the snowbelt though.

White Horse track was like 7 mile long lots of corners both ways and we race 500 miles in one afternoon worked out into 75 laps

all the other races were 200 miles long grand prix tracks

Wow 500 miles in a day! I maybe raced 25 miles a day including practice. Lol. Put lots of miles on at night at the race organization cabaret though. HaHa!

What did you race and when Mark? I raced in the NWSA for about 9 years in the 80's. The pic of my twin track was from Sylvan Lake in 86' or 87'
