The next Monthly AMEC meeting will be held Monday, July 14th, at Checkers Out Speedway go-kart track, Route 30A, Johnstown. Get there by 6PM to be in a 50 lap race! You must buy a membership license ($10 per person) and $15 per person to race. (It is best if we get 10 or more members to participate). After the race, we have a choice of light foods to eat such as hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza etc. At 7:30pm, we will hold the AMEC meeting. If we get done early enough, we can race some more for the same entry fee.
The Adirondack Motor Enthusiast Club (A.M.E.C.) Celebrates its 54th
anniversary this year. We have also completed our 43rd year of ice racing. A.M.E.C. Ice
Racing is the safest and most inexpensive form of road racing available today.
We race 10 classes of cars on approximately 1.4 to 1.9 mile road courses on frozen
lakes in northeastern NY from mid January until early March. All regular classes
run on purpose built studded ice racing tires (available from Menard Racing in
Wisconsin)(715)-876-2681. We also have the Bridgestone sponsored "Street Legal"
classes, which use the studless Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires. The Street
Legal Unstudded [SL] class is for 2WD cars and the SL4 class is for 4WD and
AWD cars. Normal turnout is 60 to 80 entries.
The Menard classes run from mild to wild--from under 1500cc box stock cars to
custom designed tube frame cars with up to 5.8 liter engines that are capable of
running well over 100 mph. There are three stock type classes {Class C / GTO ,
Class D / GT and Class E / GTU}, one for heavily modified stock type cars {Class
B / Modified}, one for All Wheel Drive, {AWD}, a Street Legal Menard {SLM}
class with Menard racing tires, and one class for exotic tube frame cars {Class
A / Super Modified}. PLEASE SEE THE FULL COPY OF THE RULES.
The race format for the Menard class cars is for two heat races for each class
and one finale race. The heat races are about 20 minutes long and the finale
from 30 to 40 minutes long. Street Legal classes run three 20 minute heat races.
Normally races are held each Sunday during the season (weather and ice
conditions permitting) but there may be one or more full weekend events.
