Title: Ice Racing at Pelham civic center.
Post by: Merkur Man on February 03, 2023, 07:22:18 PM
I just heard about the Motorcycle Ice Racing that's coming to the Pelham Civic center.  Its on Saturday March 4th.
Is anyone going?  Should we try and organize a Motorcycle Alabama section in the stands?
I have been there with my Granddaughter for some skating, but never to an event. Do you think the arena will sell out?

Unfortunately, that's the same weekend as the Mulberry Fork Canoe and Kayak races (MFCKR). Probably doesn't matter to anyone else, but as one of the organizers of the MFCKR , I gotta be there. I thought once I retired, I'd have plenty of time to do every thing I wanted to. But it seems like a bunch of the events i want to do are often the same weekends.

First world problems for a recently retired guy  :)

I'm in.

Just found your MotorcycleAlabama.com tonight and blowing through it quicklyl

We've got a great State to ride in and I ride year round (VStrom 1k, and 1150GS).

It's very rare that we CAN'T ride.  (I understand for some folks it may not be feasible, but my shop is 5 miles from my home and if it's REALLY cold in the morning, I can work from home before/if going to the shop.)

Would be great to have a group at the event!

Welcome Eric. I also ride a VStrom 1k (2002). If you ever come over to the Cheaha area, let me know and we can ride around the mountain.
I have not purchased any tickets to the ice races yet. I thought I'd wait to see if anyone wants to sit in the same area.

This should be a good time. I plan to be there. I'll probably have my munchkins with me.

Why don't we plan to grab dinner before hand?

If your considering going maybe look at tickets soon.
It showed to be high demand. There didn't appear to be a ton of tickets when I purchased.

That sounds like a flashmob before Iceing things....
