Mackinaw Bridge Race Cancelled

Mon, Feb  28, 2005 - By Denny Paull

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to figure out how we can effectively time racers while the state simultaneously collect tolls from racers at the toll booths.

We were also having issues with keeping enough snow on the bridge so skiers wouldn't be sliding over the metal grate roadway.

Hopefully, we'll resolve these issues, but for now we're going to have to postpone the race a year...
