Iceberg Classic set for Saturday

The Carlton County Riders Club wasn’t too sad about the recent cold weather — it’s made the ice on the St. Louis River where they will hold their dirtbike races Saturday that much thicker.

They call it The Iceberg Classic Under the Lights and it will be held, once again, on a giant oval on the river next to the River Inn Bar & Grill in Scanlon. Admission is free, races run from around 5 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20. According to the group’s Facebook page, classes include micro mini bikes, ABC bikes, vet bikes and a dash for cash. Gates open at 2 p.m. and races start around 5 p.m. Spectators are welcome.
