Snocross racing is like motocross racing, except
snowmobiles are raced instead of dirt bikes, and instead of a dirt track, the
race is on a snow-covered track about a third of a mile long. The track winds
around and up and down and is full of jumps to test the skills of the riders
and their machines. There are many different classes of races at these events.
The riders operate on a point system, much like NASCAR. |
