This year record numbers of Entries, Racers and Fans were experienced over the five Winter Races located in Gleason this past January and February sponsored by the Gleason Community Club.

During the five race season the club had over 130 different drivers come to Gleason. The racers ranged from local favorites from Merrill, Rhinelander, Antigo and Wausau and as far away as Racine, Milwaukee, Eau Claire and Sheboygan.

Over 250 different entries were registered on a given race day in a number of classes for Snowmobile, Quads, Outlaw and Factory carts. The Club had over 30 volunteers of all working together weekly to put on this action filled event that drew an average of 750 spectators per race.

A Thank You goes out to all racers, spectators and volunteers and the Gleason Community Club is looking forward to seeing everyone again at the Winter Races in 2016.
