Snocross

Snocross (also snowcross) is a racing sport involving racing specialized high performance snowmobiles on natural or artificially-made tracks consisting of tight turns, banked corners, steep jumps and obstacles.

(Rule of thumb, a credit card placed anywhere on the helmet must contact orange), racing suit (must have a minimum of 144 square inches of orange on front and back), gloves, goggles/eye protection, leather boots, shin guards, elbow pads, neck braces, knee guards, and upper body protection (Motocross vests are NOT legal for Snocross.

The snowmobiles are lined up for the restart by their position in the race, with the drivers involved in the stoppage starting in the rear.

The national sanctioning body for snowmobile snocross racing is International Series of Champions (ISOC), owned by John Daniels.

ISOC replaced Joe Duncan's World PowerSports Association (WPSA) starting with the 2008–09 season.

The ACS will consist of eight points-paying races in 2015–16, beginning with the AMSOIL Duluth National at Spirit Mountain on November 27–29.

New owners Eric Scott and Bob Roscoe chose to form the East Coast Snocross (ECS) series to carry on the tradition RMR had created.

Snowmobile racing is big in northern New England where snows are deep and temperatures often remain cold for weeks.

Owned by veteran promoter Ken Avann, the CSRA is Canada's national tour.

The Ultimate Canadian Motorsports Association (UCMA) previously known as the North West Racing Association (NWRA) hosts 8 to 10 events in Central and Western Canada, with races held in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and north-west Ontario.
