 Jaffrey Ice Racing Association started back in the 30’s on Lake Contoocook in Jaffrey N.H., know by some as Sunshine Lake. For years Ice Racing was part of Jaffrey New Hampshire’s Winter Carnival. Unfortunately by 1980, due to poor ice conditions the club nearly disbanded, but for a few dedicated members, who were able to find a new location to race, Swallow Hill Pond in Ashburnham MA. Consequently in 1981 Jaffrey Ice Racing Association Incorporated (J.I.R.A.) was formed with the few remaining members and many new members, including past members of, Whalom auto racing of Fitchburg MA, and Watatic Ice Racing Association of Winchendon (both had disbanded in the 70’s). The club was very active and did well until the 90’s, when again poor ice conditions caused the club to move to Whitney Pond in Winchendon MA. While the pond was a little small for racing it helped keep the club together, until they were able to return to Lake Contoocook in 2001, so here we are back home, on Sunshine Lake. |
