Twin Tier NY/PA vintage grass draggers... updated 9/01/08
Bailey Hill Lodge in Ulysses, PA wants to get a monthly grass drag series going. Their races are two-sleds at a time, double elimination format. I'm not directly involved with running the races, but I told the owners I would do what I could to spread the word among the vintage racers. Vintage sleds are VERY welcome here! They had a couple of races already this spring, but the turnout could have been better. They are thinking of waiting until fall for the next event, but I'm hoping to convince them that there are enough racers out there to run all summer, and they will schedule races accordingly if the interest is there. It's a fun place to race. If anyone in the area is interested in participating, please contact me, I can give you more information via e-mail:  ihman@hotmail.com.  Thank you.

Yeah, Mark was telling me about it.  Looking forward to seeing you again (... under better circumstances?).  Glad to hear you guys are coming.  You couldn't ask for nicer people running the races.  I've ran in about five races there and had a ball every time.  I think you'll really like it.

Re: Attention Twin Tier NY/PA vintage grass draggers...
Good news!  We've got a date set for Sat., June 28.  It's going to be what Bailey Hill calls "fun drags", or some call "outlaw".  Basically it will be a run-what-ya-brung event with no classes, just pick somebody, line up and go.  $5.00 per sled, unlimited amount of runs.  500' track.  Running both vintage and late model sleds.  If enough riders are interested, they may run some elimination rounds later in the day, just depends on what everyone wants to do.  Their winter events have always been a lot of fun, I'd like to see it carry on out through the summer.  The food and hospitality at the lodge is great, and sometimes the "bench racing" after the event is as good as the racing itself.  So load up your sleds and come on out!

By stock I'm assuming you mean new stock snowmobiles, and yes they are running them.  Here is the address:  362 Bailey Hill Road, Ulysses, Pennsylvania 16948.

Yeah, I just talked to him.  That doesn't mean you can't borrow his sleds and come on down anyhow!  I'll be glad to help you unload and reload them!

Re: Attention Twin Tier NY/PA vintage grass draggers...
I hate to tell all you this but the June 28 date has been canceled.  What started out looking like a good turnout has slowly taken a turn for the worse.  We forgot that it's graduation weekend in NY, which was going to keep people from showing.  There are other factors involved as well.

On the upside, I've heard from people that want to race, and a later date will give them more time to get ready for it.  So they are now looking at a date around the end of July.  I'll be sure to let you all know ASAP when the July date is.  Sorry about the cancellation and I hope you understand.  I really believe that a later date will get us a better turnout overall.

If anyone is interested in grass dragging at Bailey Hill please let me know and I will keep you updated by direct e-mail.  This will also help me come up with a head count for racers.  Thanks.

whens the next race at your track? If you'd like bring some flyers to the NCA and pass them out so we all know when it is.

We're going to try to make it up to your race.  We'll be bringing four vintage sleds if we do.  Hopefully we'll have a date set by then.

Re: Attention Twin Tier NY/PA vintage grass draggers...

Wiser, I couldn't make it yesterday.  I worked on broken plumbing in the house ALL DAY!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that Bailey Hill probably won't be doing anything until the fall.  I talked to the owners last Friday night.  They've got a full schedule of things going on already for the summer, but they want to schedule some events starting this fall, maybe around the first of Sept.  I'll be sure to post a date as soon as I hear of one.  So please keep this one in mind...
