Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel will host more than 200 of the top snowmobile racers from North America and nearly a dozen countries worldwide for the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series Feb. 22-24.

The casino in Salamanca, N.Y., said crews will turn 1 million gallons of water into snow over a football-field-sized plot of land at Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel to create tracks with wicked twists and turns, as well as ramps that will send vehicles flying dozens of feet into the air. The weekend is one eight nationally televised events on CBS Sports Network.

Tickets are on sale at the Logo Shop inside Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel and online at www.isocracing.com. Ticket prices are $25 for Feb. 22, $25 for Feb. 23, $15 for Feb. 24, or $30 for an all-weekend pass. Admission is free for children 6 and younger.

Bleachers set up around the track can accommodate thousands of fans, and bright lights will illuminate the track during evening hours Feb. 22-23, when the main events are scheduled to take place and to be recorded for television replay March 10 and March 17.

Some 50 practice, qualifying, and final races will take place each of the three days, including 22 races Friday and Saturday nights. Amateur racing takes place in the afternoons, culminating in a major race Sunday. As many as 15 vehicles will be on the track during a race, and individual races are broken down by age, gender, and snowmobile type.
