Mid America Snow & Terrain Expert RacerS Racing Circuit

The MASTERS racing circuit formed in 1995 as the Mid America Snowmobile Tournament of Expert Riders. The Masters was formed to sanction Professional and Amateur Snowmobile Racing events in the Midwest. Our history includes sanctioning Sno-Cross, HilKross, Uphill Drags, Snow Drags, Ice Drags, and Hillclimbs. Since 2003, The MASTERS Circuit has focused it's attention on Snowmobile Hillcllimbs and Snowmobile Drag Racing.

This past fall, the MASTERS Circuit diversified to begin planning ATV and Truck XTreme Challenge events, and changed from “Snowmobile Tournament of Expert Riders,” to Snow and Terrain Expert Racers. While the MASTERS will sanction ‘non-snow’ ATV and Truck XTreme Challenges, the circuit’s primary focus is on Snowmobile Hillclimbs and Snowmobile Drag Races.

It has been the MASTERS Circuit that is the PREMIER Snowmobile Hillclimb Circuit in the entire Midwest. The MASTERS started the very popular Copper Peak Championship Snowmobile Hillclimb. On January 16th, 2010, the MASTERS Circuit brought back the Winternationals Hillclimb at Whealkate Bluff. This event, which drew thousands of fans, took place in South Range, Michigan, in Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula of the Western Upper Peninsula.

It was the Copper Peak Championship Hilllclimb in the past, and the 2010 Winternationals Hillclimb that is the Midwest’s qualifying event for the World Championship Snowmobile Hillclimb in Jackson, Wyoming. It is the MASTERS Circuit that truly does send the Midwests TOP PROFESSIONAL snowmobile hillclimbers to the World Championships. MASTERS Circuit Hillclimbs are for those with the ‘guts’ and ‘skills’ to truly compete in a professionally sanctioned Snowmobile Hillclimb.

At the Winternationals in 2011, the MASTERS Circuit is going to start a new Vintage Hillclimb class, and have a Semi-Pro Division. The Vintage and Semi-Pro Divisions will NOT have to run the very challenging course that the Pro Stock and Pro Mod Drivers run.

The MASTERS Circuit is also the circuit that runs a series of Snowmobile Drag Races. Our Drag Races are on both, snow and ice. Some are 500 foot runs, and some are 660 foot runs. The races in Merrill and Sidnaw have classes for Vintage, Pro Stock and Pro Mod. The races in Munising have classes for Vintage, Pro Stock, Improved Stock, and Pro Mod. See the links on this website for the details of up-coming Drag Races.

Whether it is Hillclimb, Drags, or XTreme Challenge, the MASTERS Circuit follows rules! Our circuit has specially trained and experienced “Technicians” to not  only make sure our races are run fair, but our races are run SAFELY. The MASTERS Circuit has experienced officials. If the MASTERS did not offer all this to the driver, fan, and promoter, WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR CLOSE TO 20 YEARS!

The MASTERS Circuit offers promoters with the chance to bring in a trained staff, experienced announcer, equipment, and insurance for the race and/or event. The MASTERS Circuit does this for basically NO COST to the Promoter!

Whether you talk to one of our officials, drivers, or a fan that attends a MASTERS Event, one thing you will notice. That is how much of a “Family” the MASTERS Circuit is. The MASTERS Circuit prides ourselves in the friendly and professional manner that the event is organized and run. The MASTERS Circuit does not and will not tolerate ANY behavior of any of our officials or drivers that is not in the spirit of sportsmanship. All bad or poor behavior is not tolerated and the individual that displays any act of selfishness or unsportsmanlike is expelled from the event and/or the circuit.

If you are interested in competing at one of the MASTERS Events, watching a MASTERS event, or bringing the MASTERS Circuit into run your event, please contact us.
