fragmented racing venues
So what you're saying is that instead of inventing a dedicated snow-going motorcycle and then inventing roads for them, the Finns just stuck with cars and the roads they already had. As usual, the cheaper form of transportation turned into a very expensive racing machine. At ice races, its fun to take snowmobilers for rides showing them how much fun we have sliding around with windshields, heaters and no tow cars and trailers.

I had older brothers who hooked me up with motor clubs in my area but when I moved, it was almost a year before I could find the local SCCA and find a member to sponsor me to join.
This computering and Googling is a big improvement over flagging down MG-TC owners on the street.

There are many small motor clubs around, I think the Albany, NY ice racing club has talked about running dirt competitions in the summer. I'm sure there are interested people all around NA.
