White Pine Stampede expects foot of new snow
Michigan Cup
Wed, Jan 30, 2013 - By Jack McCaig
1/30/13 - (4:00 PM) This is the most bizarre race preparation I have encountered in my 37 years:
- Heavy wet snow before Christmas;
- Three weeks later - gone;
- Several feet of lake effect...
- Followed by 30+ hours of rain this week;
- Snowing currently with a foot predicted before race day.
The result of all that turmoil - there will be a race and with potential excellent conditions, dependent upon the snow fall over the next 48 hours. Registration is still available online, fax (231-587-8065), phone (231-587-8812) and of course in person between 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM Friday at Shanty Creek - or - beginning ar 7:30 AM at the Mancelona H.S. start.
Do not forget the Shorts Brewing Cooldown at 1:00 PM following the race and the awards presentation at 3:00 PM. Shorts products will be available at $1.00 per glass, snacks available, slide show of the events of the day and musical entertainment courtesy of Shanty Creek Resort and Shorts Brewing Co.
