Our Mission Statement:

The Oval Racers Alliance will represent the ice oval snowmobile racers, fans, promoters, and sponsors  in a professional manner.  The goal of the ORA is to promote growth and awareness of ice oval racing.  The ORA will remain true to our cause and work diligently to promote ice oval racing to it’s maximum potential.

Our History:

Several years ago, Doug Fontaine and Bryan Timmer recognized the need to promote ice oval racing at a grass roots level.  Their goal was to introduce potential new driver to ice racing, which would be affordable and safe.  Fontaine and Timmer informally named the organization the ORA or Oval Racers Alliance.  They have logged many hours and miles to promote ice oval racing at events such as HayDays, the Princeton Grass Drags and the Grantsburg World Championship watercross race.  In the summer of 2009, Fontaine and Timmer recognized an ever greater need for Ice Oval Racing, which is to have affordable racing for promoters, sponsors, and race teams.

Fontaine and Timmer put together a seasoned team of snowmobile racing organizers.  Their team of officers and directors are formally designated as a nonprofit organization known now as Oval Racers Alliance, Inc.  Such noted members of the ORA include Mike Benoy, Vice President, who has been the elected President of the International Watercross Association since 2006.  Benoy’s knowledge and experience working with race event promoters and sponsors will be a valuable asset to the ORA.  Also, noted is Mike Meagher, Director ORA, who has been instrumental in vintage racing as a promoter, sponsor and event organizer. The ORA has three race sites that will not conflict with the USSA schedule or the Eagle River World Championship Derby.  In addition, all of these races will be in conjunction with the vintage race organization  S.L.E.D.S and will be their points races.  (See calendar).  If you have any questions or input, please see our contact list.
