2023 ICE RACING NEWS
Press release for immediate release Palm Coast, FL.--November 15, 2022 – In what has become one of the most looked-forward to and exciting off-season series, the Extreme International Ice Racing Series/XiiR is pleased to announce their current schedule for the 2023 winter series of ice racing competition. Owner/promoter Anthony Barlow, himself a former multi-time international ice series racing champion, made the announcement earlier this week for what will surely be another great season for the 'no brakes-no gears-no fears' series. “We're very happy to announce that we have signed six venues for our upcoming & current seven-race season,” stated Barlow. “In what will be our 20th season of operation, we have a big slate of new & returning venues to make up our series of exciting competition, and we are still working on the possibility of adding 1 or 2 more events to our schedule. We also have our four main & returning sponsors in Orange County Choppers, Methanol Moonshine, Burromax, and S100 Cycle Cleaner along to help us out again. We have a big slate of returning riders from all over the world that will be on hand, some of which have been riding in our series since it's inception in 2003. Some of those include 3-time defending XiiR Ice Racing Champion & New Jersey resident Jay Maloney, Indianapolis-area residents Colby Long and Jim Terchila, who has raced our Speedway events in XiiR for 14 years, Stoney Ray, last year's Quad Champion, and Sean Neil, also a previous Quad Champion." “One of those riders, bassist Scott Wilson, formerly of the Tantric band and most recently a member of the Saving Abel band, will also be competing this season. Wilson has penned & produced some great music tunes/videos to go along with our fire-brand of fast competition on the indoor ice. But we also welcome any/all local riders to all of our events as well." “Our typical event runs 2-2 ½ hours long from start-to-finish, and will include Speedway bikes, Quads & 450 flat track bikes. At some events that will be announced in the future, we will also have trikes, go-karts & kids classes,” continued Barlow. “We are certainly looking forward to everyone bringing out the family to see the great racing & competition that we have to offer on the ice-covered confines of these great arenas, and we hope to see you all there!”
