Frozen Few Snowmobile Club Earns KLIM Snowmobile
Grant, Recognizing Snocross, Other Club Events
The Frozen Few Snowmobile Club of Region 7 was awarded one of only
five national $1,000 snowmobile grants in 2011-12 by KLIM Technical Riding
Gear and GORE-TEX.
The KLIM and GORE-TEX® snowmobile grants recognize organizations or
groups who promote the core ideals of responsible snowmobiling and who
best represent and support the pinnacles of a true enthusiast group:
Snowmobiling Family, Community and the sport’s Preservation.
"Besides having a spectacular club name, the Frozen Few presented a
great list of outreach and snowmobile-promoting goals for the 2011-2012
season," the KLIM press release reads.
"They’re starting off by tripling their number of local Snocross events they
host in Cedar Rapids at Hawkeye Downs Speedway. The 1,000-plus fans in
attendance at each round will be introduced to the sport and club
brilliantly.
"Through this exposure, more riders can attend the state Safety Training
Program the club puts on (required to all riders in Iowa age 12-17) and chow
down on free lunch.
"On top of these ambitions plans, the Frozen Few plan on grooming 275-
plus miles of trails in Iowa, providing trail maps, arranging landowner access
and organizing multiple club events," the release said.
