AMSOIL Championship Snowcross is Back
The rush of adrenaline and revving of engines will soon take over the snow-filled tracks within the valley of Salamanca, NY. Strap in for an action-packed weekend filled with high-speed racing at Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino’s Annual Snocross event.
Returning after a year hiatus due to the warm tempered winter of 2023, Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino welcomes back the U.S. Air Force Snocross National event which will take place over the two-day span of February 16-17, 2024. As a part of the AMSOIL Championship Snocross season, our hosts look to bring back all the fun and excitement to guests and expect it to be a highlight of the winter season.
We reached out to the organizers at Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino who were happy to share their insight on the highly anticipated weekend. “We're very excited to welcome everyone back for this signature event at Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino,” said Melissa Free, Chief Marketing Officer, Seneca Gaming Corporation. “We hope that fans from across the Southern Tier, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding area are gearing up for a great weekend. Anyone who has attended and taken part in our Snocross weekend in the past can expect the same excitement, fun, and attractions that have made it such a popular, must-attend event." The nationally televised event will bring in world class professional racers as well as amateurs to show off their skills and thrills on the snow-covered course.
The competition aims to draw in fans from all over the area along with some well-deserved attention to Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino. Guests can plan for an exhilarating weekend, cheering on the top snocross racers as they go for the gold. The extreme winter sport of snocross is a mix between snowmobiling and motocross. Snow covered tracks with sharp turns and high speeds keep competitors chasing for the finish line. The meticulously planned course is filled with tight corners and epic ramps, keeping spectators on the edge of their seats as racers fly off the jumps and cut into snow on their way to take the number one spot.
Buckle up for a wild ride - the weekend event will be one for the books! The echoing of engines pumps up the energy for fans and families as soon as they arrive. A top 5 region for trail riding in the United States, spectators should prepare for a race they won’t soon forget. Typically on the east end of the Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino, the venue showcases up-close seating and viewing of the track. Adding to the action, you’ll find plenty of things to do beyond the tracks. The weekend highlights include vendors, free snowmobile rides for kids, autographs from professional racers, fireworks, and of course, fun!
You’ll be on the edge of your seat watching racers speeding by and snow flying in the thrill of each race. Engines roaring and snowmobiles soaring, the event looks to be a one-of-a-kind experience for all ages! Commenting on the excitement for the area Melissa Free goes on to share, “One of the best things about Snocross weekend is that it gives us the chance to celebrate and showcase all of the great things about a Western New York winter in a really fun and exciting way,” she said. “We are able to introduce new people to all of the amenities, attractions and beauty of the Seneca Nation's Allegany Territory, our world-class resort, and the entire region. Then, once the races start, the excitement, speed and thrills are incredible. Being able to experience that up close is something our guests really enjoy and look forward to every year."
