About this event

Pitt Race Low-key SNOWCROSS

Wampum, PA- Today at Pitt Race, we experienced some unusually high winds. While we understand there was a very high level of excitement for this Sunday’s Snowcross events, Mother Nature has decided this event would have it’s challenges. Due to the minimal snow coverage, please be advised that if you show up on Sunday, you may be running more of a winter autocross with some snow patches. We will offer full refunds to anyone who has pre-registered and decides to cancel their registration by tomorrow at 4pm. The total drivers registered must remain at 20 or greater or the event will be canceled. The final count for pre-registered drivers will be at 4pm on 1/6 at the close of registration.  If the event is canceled we will notify everyone by email and issue refunds.
