Galesburg Snowmobile Club to Host Annual Speed Trials at Lake Storey

The Prairie Drifters Snowmobile Club is bringing high-speed excitement to the ice this winter. The organization has announced its upcoming Snowmobile Radar Run, inviting local riders and spectators to gather for a day of community fun and fast-paced action.

Event Details and Location

The event is scheduled for a single day on Sunday, February 1, 2026. Activities will take place on the ice at Lake Storey, conveniently located just off Highway 150 in Galesburg, Illinois. Participants can begin signing up at 9:30 am, with the official speed runs kicking off shortly after at 10:00 am.

Pricing and Participation

Riders looking to test their machines have flexible entry options. The club is offering a "3 runs for $10 or $5 per run" rate, making it affordable for everyone to participate. Whether you are a seasoned racer or a hobbyist curious about your sled's top speed, the radar runs provide a safe and monitored environment to see what your snowmobile can do.

Supporting the Local Community

The event is about more than just speed; it is also an opportunity to give back. The Prairie Drifters are "collecting canned food items for Fish Food Pantry of Galesburg, IL." Attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable goods to help support neighbors in need. To keep everyone fueled, there will be a "concession stand serving lunch all day."
