What a great day!!!! Round 4
An incredable day of vintage snowmobile ice racing took place Saturday 2/28/09 on Tamarack Lake in Lakeview. Thanks to Mother Nature, Bevra racers had the opportunity to race in almost perfect conditions, and compete they did. So many great battles took place on the track as the season points races came to a close, that it was sad to see the day come to an end.
Bevra is blessed with so many talented racers and awesome volunteers and tremondous sponsors. It's hard to watch the season coming to a close, seems like we should do this every week.
There are many volunteers that give of their free time to make our races possible. I'l like to take just moment to thank on the front page of our site. Mega thank you's to all of our volunteers.
Thanks to our fine sponsors,McKenna's Village Restaurant, Newkirk Electric, Stud Boy Traction Products, Northstar Racing Skis, McNees Manufacturing, Lakeside Electric, Victory Sign and Graphics, and Micro-Belmont Engineering. We couldn't do it without you.
I would like to give a special thanks to Greg McKenna and his staff for taking such great care of Bevra's racers and our track surface. What a great place to race.

Round 2 Rocks Lakeview!!!
A beautiful clear and cold day welcomed Bevra's best as 69 entries took the green flag for day of high speed thrills, chills, and even a couple of spills to keep things lively. Round 2 also marked the 1st round of the Bevra Triple Crown, won by Todd Krikke of Hudsonville Michigan on a 1978 Yamaha SRX who lead from flag to flag. Kevin Flannery ran a strong 2nd on his Polaris and Aaron Giles battled his way to 3rd. Should be a great round 2 of Triple Crown.
Once again, without the support of our fine sponsors and racers, none of this would possible. Thanks again to Newkirk Electric, Stud Boy Traction Products, Northstar Racing Skis, McNees Manufacturing, Lakeside Electric, Victory Sign and Graphics, and especially to Greg McKenna and McKenna's Village Restaurant for the excellent track prep and support for Bevra vintage oval racing.

Are you ready to RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Due to Mother Nature being kind, we on the BEVRA board of directors have decided to go forego the test and tune scheduled and instead, go racing on Jan 17th. We will be running a regular event on the 17th with a full compliment of classes, then on the 24th of January, we will be starting the BEVRA Triple Crown which is a 3 race series of 25 lap enduros with a cash and prizes as reward for winning the title.
Hopefully everyone is ready to race along with Mother Nature this year!!

Important Race Update!!! 1/8/09
The 2009 Bevra season series races will be held on Tamarack Lake in Lakeview Michigan. Thanks to hard work and co-operation by Greg McKenna and the Lakeview City Council, we will be racing once again on a big 3/8 mile oval so our mod sleds can stretch their legs and we can save the racers money by not having to pay a gate fee just to race.
The race track will be on the west end of the lake directly behind McKenna's restaurant. We have good parking, and nice warm place to do our trophy presentations after the days events are over. We believe this is in the best interest of our racers to return to Lakeview.
