LAKE GENEVA, Wis. (March 19, 2012) – Premix, FXR snowmobile clothing and Leatt Braces gave way to beer, sport jackets and neck ties on Sunday at Lake Geneva Resort & Spa for the 2011-’12 AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series’ year-end awards banquet – a night filled with snowmobile industry star power, laughter – courtesy of comedian MC C. Willie Myles – and reflection on what will go down in the ISOC/ACSS record books as the best year with the least amount of snow ever.
Recognition for the generous ACSS’ sponsors opened the show, foreshadowing a speech later in the program from AMSOIL Race Program Manager Jeremy Meyer committing to three more years of sponsorship of the ACSS by AMSOIL! Other sponsor shout outs from ceremony hosts Mike Schroeder, Paul Mack and Rob Powers went to Bully Dog, FXR, Ted Nielsen, Anheuser Bush and Traxxas, along with the three OEMS: Polaris, Ski-Doo and Arctic Cat.
ISOC’s highly-anticipated “Season in Review” video, produced by Long Haul Productions’ Joe Harewicz, garnered a lot of “Ooos” and “Ahhhs” from the packed hall at Lake Geneva, showcasing the great parity in the Pro Open class and highlights from the sport’s future great in the Pro Lite class.
Scores of well-deserved awards handed out during the night began with ISOC’s “Event of the Year,” with this year’s award being shared by the Fargo National BRRP and the ERX National in Elk, River, Minn. Both new venues that knocked things out of the park in terms of race track conditions and ISOC/ACSS fan amenities on their very first try.
