Canterbury Park will host cancelled Deadwood Snocross Races Jan. 23 – 24

Historic Deadwood event halted due to lack of snow.

When unseasonably warm weather and inability to make sufficient snow for the Deadwood, South Dakota course caused AMSOIL Championship Snocross officials to cancel that event they called on Canterbury Park to host the third leg of the annual professional snowmobile racing series. The Deadwood races were originally scheduled for the weekend of January 23-24 and will take place on the same dates at the Shakopee, Minn. venue.

Canterbury Park, a snocross site for 30 years, is already hosting leg two of the series this weekend, making the decision to move the Deadwood event logical.

“Cancelling an event, especially one at The Bull Ring in Deadwood, is always unfortunate but to have a great host like Canterbury Park step up, with everything already in place, eases a bit of the pain,” Snocross president Carl Schubitzke said.

Tickets for the event can be purchased here.

“We have had exciting racing over a challenging racecourse at Canterbury this weekend and with cold weather in the forecast we will be making even more snow for January 23 and 24,” Schubitzke said. “Race fans can expect a different course in two weeks but the same excitement with the fantastic amenities only Canterbury Park provides.”

The Snocross tour has five remaining legs after Jan 23 and 24 including stops in Valcourt, Quebec and Salamanca, NY. Schubitzke assures racing fans that the Deadwood races will return in 2027. “The Bull Ring in Deadwood is iconic and the community embraces our visit. AMSOIL Championship Snocross is committed to returning to the historic Days of ’76 rodeo grounds next year.”
