The iconic Roy Taghon Memorial Snowmobile Drag Race is canceled this year, according to race coordinator Soni Alysworth.
“The door is always open for doing it in the future,” Alysworth said. “Thank you to the Taghon family, the Leelanau County Emergency Management Plan (Matt Ansorge), the Department of Natural Resources, the Glen Lake Fire Department, the Empire Chamber of Commerce, and many more for being a part of it and helping me. ”
Alysworth, a notable local sled head, will be helping out at RPM Raceway, located northeast of Mancelona, during several races this season. The new raceway in Mancelona is laserleveled and has grooming capabilities, lights, and timing.
