It seems like any major events are in Idaho or further east. This is what I like about back east or Midwest there's so much more snowmobile activity. Also many more TV programs and such dedicated to the sport. Most of the knowledge of any events I get through Reading American snowmobiler Magazine. I know I was easily racing through the woods at 70 plus miles per hour our sleds aren't set up for Speed with the super long deep tracks. Ours are more set up for torque for getting up steap hills in the Deep. Myself instead of a Ultra best turbo I would preferred the maneuverability and performance of the new Alpha One. either that or one day I may want to try a timbersled..
