Well nuts, I hate to post bad news, but there is some good stuff too. THE BAD NEWS: there is NOT going to be a snowbike or snowmobile or UTV race this year at Diamond Lake, Oregon. I apologize for lots of on-again, off-again stuff and date shifting. It is hard to believe how much the world has changed since I hosted the world's first-ever snowbike race at McCall exactly 16 years ago in 2009. Sixteen years isn't very long, but it feels like 100. Today's kits are light years better than the original 2Moto kits that started everything, and riders are doing things out there that we wouldn't have dreamed of in 2009. What finally shut us down this year is not being able to find a date that worked for everyone. THE GOOD NEWS: Yeti is back! I had no idea, but they reached out to me wanting to be our title partner at Diamond Lake and show off their cool, new kits. But then we couldn't find a date that worked for everyone and would have allowed Brock Hoyer to attend, (and everyone wants to race Brock)! I also learned that a LOT of fast guys have switched over from 120" racing kits to 129" backcountry kits, so in the future there needs to be a 129 pro class. And lastly, there is even more excitement and support for Allen's Mtn. Top kits than I thought. The master just keeps outdoing himself! Diamond Lake remains the PERFECT place to do a snowbike race and they have tons of snow right now. I want to encourage everyone that has never been there, or was planning on going to the race this year, to pay them a visit. I also learned that for the future, the earlier the better, so when the race finally does return in 2026, I want to do it in January, because by February and especially March, a lot of you guys are ready to hit the dirt again. I am thrilled that Yeti has returned and I hope to work with them next year. Here's one of my favorite photos of racing at Diamond Lake, Jimmy Jarrett tearing it up about 6 years ago. Ron Dillon

It's official. The date for the 2-day snow race at Diamond Lake is February 1-2. The Northwest is supposed to get a big winter and there will be plenty of snow. Get your rooms at Diamond Lake sooner, rather than later as they always sell out. And meanwhile, break out those dirt bikes or UTV's and come race with at the Fall Maze at Ontario Speedway on Saturday, November 9. All veterans and first responders can get in for free and race for free! Thank you for your service. Classes for 4-wheelers and dirt bikes. Track has been groomed into perfect shape and weather is going to be good on the 9th. www.ontariospeedway.com

After making a number of calls to a number of sources, I am definitely going to host my first snowbike race since February, 2023. This will be a 2-day race at Diamond Lake, Oregon. I have a choice of two different dates: either February 1-2, 2025 OR March 1-2, 2025. Before I lock it down, I want to ask a few of my peeps which date works best for you, and do you know of any competing events that could hurt. There aren't very many snowbike races currently so I want this one to be really successful for everyone.

It happens in a week and the weather forecast is looking pretty good. Classes for dirt bikes, UTV's and ATV's, and don't forget to bring the kiddies for our Easter Egg Hunt! Register online on our website or at the race for $10 more.

It's nice to know that I still have the power to control the weather. John and I both agreed that if I cancelled the snowbike race due to no snow, it would then snow several feet at Diamond Lake. And it did. Hooray for me!

It's no secret that most of the West had a WARM winter. It sucks, but that is the way that it is. So, with heavy heart, I have to announce that our March 2-3, 2024 snowbike race at Diamond Lake, Oregon is cancelled. Normally there would be 2-4 feet of snow up there right now, but instead there is less than 3 inches. I have been in touch with some of you, and we WILL be back next year! Meanwhile, we have some really fun stuff coming up this year including our March 30 "Maze" race at Ontario Speedway, and the world's tallest hillclimb, X12, in Northern Utah on May 17-19.

We just switched the date for the only snowcross and snowbike race in Oregon. Conflicts with the Superbowl, and the Redmond Arenacross were a problem, so we switched to March 1-3, with practice on Friday, racing on Saturday and Sunday. More info coming soon.

The world's oldest snowbike race, held near McCall, Idaho, finally ends, after a long run (2009 to 2023). That is because it is getting really, really hard to find a groomer. Also, gas is still way too high, and who knows if there is going to be a lot of snow this winter. But fear not, we are going to go big, one and done this winter, at one of our favorite locations, Diamond Lake, Oregon. This might be the ONLY snowbike race in the West this year, and it is a 2-day. More details to follow.

You can still register online for the LAST snowbike race of 2023 at Cascade, Idaho, until 8pm tonight. You can signup tomorrow morning too, but it takes cash or a check and is $10 more.

The final snowbike race of the year is coming up this Saturday, February 25, at Cascade, Idaho. Heading into the third and final round of the 2023, Carl's Cycle/Timbersled National Snowbike Series, the pro men's points chase remains tight, with Canyon Ashley leading with 145, Jake Hedlund and River Rogers tied for second at 135, and Canadian Shannon Mason and off-road legend, and former National Snowbike champion, Jimmy Jarrett, tied at 115. In other words, it ain't over 'till it's over. Once again this weekend, the men's pro purse will be $4,000, paid 7 deep, with pro women fighting over $1,000. It has been staying cold up there at night and the snow is still AWESOME. Classes for everyone, fast and slow, including snowmobiles and UTV's. www.snowbikeseries.com
