2007 AMA National
Ice Racing Championships
Menasha, WI (9/27/06)
- The “2007 AMA National Ice Racing Championships”
are set to return to the shores of Waverly Beach February
2-4, 2007. After the Midwest suffered through the
warmest winter on record in over 30 years in 2006,
American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) officials
decided Wisconsin is still a prime location for the
largest ice race of the year.
“We don’t expect such crazy
weather two years in a row,” comments Scott
Biese of Fantasy Moto, LLC. “Although we never
had the opportunity to put studs to the ice in 2006,
we learned some invaluable lessons in dealing with
weather challenges. We’ve assembled an incredibly
experienced team to deal with any issues we might
face this season.”
“Promoting a true National Championship
has been on the radar since the day this company was
founded back in 1996. Mother Nature will not ruin
the plans this year as Fantasy Moto is on the record
with the promise to move the event anywhere! The staff
at Fantasy Moto is made up of racers, ex-racers and
hardcore enthusiasts, that makes it easy to give participants
what they want since we live and walk everyday in
their shoes,” adds Deana Friebel, Fantasy Moto
Regional Events Coordinator.
Waverly Beach is a Mecca of activity
in the winter months and the on-shore facilities are
second to none. The small arena less than 100 feet
from the shore provides a lot of opportunities. The
Powersports Show is also set to return in conjunction
with the race and will be located indoors at Waverly
Beach. The Powersports Show will feature apparel,
accessories, new and used units, snowmobiles, ATVs
and motorcycles for both street and dirt, making this
Fantasy Moto event a multifaceted activity for all
motorsports enthusiasts.
“It’s amazing, the last
time this race came to Wisconsin was in Eagle River
a few years back. There were people from all over
the country. In my opinion ice racing is bigger than
ever. We’re glad the AMA has the foresight to
see beyond the weather difficulties of 2006,”
states Joel Janssen of Janssen Motorsports.
Fantasy Moto will offer online pre-registration
in weeks leading to the event. The local chamber of
commerce and visitors and conventions bureau is also
compiling a list of hotels that will offer discounted
rates for event participants and fans. All details
for the race, including times, classes, prices, directions,
entertainment attractions and lodging will be posted
at www.fantasymoto.com
in the coming weeks.
