The PowerSports Snowmobile Tour will host the second annual Regional Affiliate Championship events during the Nielsen Enterprises Grand Finale, scheduled for March 16-18 at the Grand Geneva Resort and Spa in Lake Geneva, Wis.

The top-three finishers in each eligible class in each of four regional title chases--Minnesota State, Wisconsin State, Woody's Michigan State and the Rock Maple Racing circuit--will be invited to compete in the events. Eligible classes include: 120 Champs, Jr. 8-10 300cc, Jr. 10-13 Fan, Plus 25, Sport Open, Sport Stock 500, Semi-Pro Open, Semi-Pro Stock 500, and Pro Stock.

Tour entry fees will be waived for those qualified regional affiliate riders. Trophies will be awarded for first through fifth place, while the winner of each class will be honored at the National awards banquet following racing activities on Sunday, March 18.

"The inaugural Regional Affiliate Championship event was a spectacular success, and we're looking forward to building upon the foundation we created last season," said PowerSports Entertainment, Inc. Executive Vice President of Operations Kent Lungstrom. "One of our primary goals as a racing organization is to help build a strong, vibrant and inclusive ladder system that allows riders to graduate from the regional level into the Pro touring ranks.

The Regional Affiliate Championships will allow our local riders to compete against the best of the best in regional Snocross racing, in front of thousands of fans. Both the riders and their sponsors will receive added exposure at one of the Tour's premier events."

The cut-off dates for determining top three in each class for each regional affiliate are March 3-4, 2007, and invitees will be contacted by WPSA to arrange participation details the week of March 5. Competitors are urged to contact their local affiliate for information on how to qualify.
