The Gleason Ice Oval Races had engines revving up starting Saturday, Jan. 8, 2022, as ATV’s, snowmobiles, and carts kicked off the Gleason racing season. Racers and race fans came out to enjoy the brisk weather, compete in the races, and cheer on their favorites racers. With registration a couple of hours prior to racetime, racers can register to compete in stock, improved, modified, and super modified racing classes, and there are racing classes for pee wee competitors, who are 12 years old or younger, as well.
