Snowmobile Race Headed to Acme
Jan. 20, 2024
All that January snow has been building up, creating the perfect conditions for the Turtle Creek Casino & Hotel 250 snowmobile race. The event was supposed to have its inaugural race last year, but weather didn’t cooperate. Jan. 27-28, snowmobilers will hit the track for the first time, flying on the ice and snow at the Grand Traverse Town Center in Acme (aka the open field near the Acme Meijer store on M-72). A racing oval has been built that will “be ideal for high speed racing,” says Karl Schwartz, Midwest International Racing Association president. A press release from Turtle Creek details the competition: “The Saturday sprint races will offer 5-7 high-intensity laps, and the longer enduro race on Sunday will be a NASCAR-style race with pit stops and crews, electronic scoring, and a pace sled.” Get more details at miraracing.com.
