Ice Oval Racing to return at Buffalo River Race Park
Ice Oval Snowmobile racing, quite possibly the most intense action sport in all racing, makes its return to the Buffalo River Race Park in Glyndon, Minn. this winter not once, but twice, with the SNODOWN Racing Festival on December 28-29, 2018 and February 1-2, 2019.

The events will be affordable for all ages and our format will spotlight the best racers on the world on the blue ice of Buffalo River.”
The SNODOWN will feature $5 general admission tickets, FREE general admission for kids 18 & under, FREE admission for college students with ID, and FREE admission for veterans.
