Update Monday Jan. 23 2012 12:20pm - A.M.E.C. ice checkers have just called in from Tupper Lake and say that conditions are perfect!!!! There is 14-18 inches of ice with no snow and a forecast of ideal weather for the week and upcoming weekend so that we can start off the 2012 A.M.E.C. Ice Racing Championships this Sat. Jan. 28 and Sun. Jan. 29.
If you have not made motel reservations yet then we advice you to do so by calling Shaheens Motel 518-359-3384, or the Tupper Lake Motel 518-359-3381, or if you want to stay right next to the pit area and track, Lakeview Motel 518-359-2778. The pit's and racetrack will be located right in the middle of town across the street from the McDonalds on Demars Blvd. or Rt. 3 as it's known. Registration will be at the Tupper Lake Village Garage, with a normal opening time of 8:30am. on both Saturday and Sunday, which is just up the street when you make a right onto Santa Clara Blvd. You can than look on your left for the civic center with the village garage behind it with all the plows and dump trucks around it. It is a small village and you will find everything very easily.
Saturday night we will be having an A.M.E.C. gathering for dinner at the Park Restaurant right next door to Shaheens Motel. Everyone is encouraged to attend as this is the big weekend party that we all look forward to.
As usual please check here often for updates.

The Adirondack Motor Enthusiast Club (A.M.E.C.) Celebrates its 57th anniversary this year. We have also completed our 46th year of ice racing. A.M.E.C. Ice Racing is the safest and most inexpensive form of road racing available today. We race 6 classes of cars on approximately .75 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. Those tires can be bought from Menards by contacting Pete Burgess at 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 (358ci.) engines that are capable of running well over 100 mph. There are two stock type classes {Modified Menard and Stock Sportsman}, one for heavily modified stock type cars {Supermodified Closed Wheel}, and one class for exotic tube frame cars {Super Modified Open Wheel}. 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. For more information on the Street Legal Classes click on the "Getting Started" and "Bridgestone Street Legal" links from the menu bar.
