You can see some of the best snowmobile and UTV snowcross racers in the country in action this weekend at Sudbury Downs.
Sponsored by Algonquin Equipment and Ski-Doo, the Sudbury Pro Snowcross Races event will feature 22 racing classes from children through to adults and promises “fun for the whole family,” the press release states.
Competition classes will start with the kid’s division (4-10 years old) racing on miniature snowmobiles, and move through the classes from novice kids, Junior Boys & Girls, Trail Sport classes for first-time racers, and finally Sport and Pro classes.
