Got a chance to go to Nordman Idaho. They used an airstrip. Had a foot or so of snow then layered water on top. Made for lots of spins, running wide in the corners and a bit of overall mayhem. Hope to make it to their next race in February.

We've had a lot of those old leaf spring sleds. It's where we learned to roll over... :D
Yamaha exciter, enticer, John Deeres, Kawasaki's, Scorpions, Artic cats, I even had a '69 Mercury …. LOL
 
Oh ya! Used to try to make fast lefts with Yamaha SR433, SR643, SS396s and a few different Skiroules myself. It would be fun to watch those.

It was indeed a good time. Hope to make it to the race next month. I talked with the promoter, he said that normally the track is more snow than it was Saturday. But the snowfall has been a bit light so...
 
I know I was reading in my American snowmobiler Magazine something about Priest Lake? It had a vintage schedule. it's hard for me to see right now I just got back from the eye doctor my eyes are all dilated and everything is blurry.. I'll take a peek at my magazine here in a few hours when I can see.. I hope that all came out right I did voice command it it looks like letters and words..

Was NOT exactly the best day for photography. We got there about 9:40, it was still pretty damn foggy. Had a small window of good light before the sun went behind the trees and the fog returned...

Up in the upper peninsula of Michigan, they value their snowmobiles more than their cars. We were up visiting my wife’s father and there was a car show/vintage snowmobile show going on in town. There was some cools machines about for sure!

Very interesting looking.

I wish I would’ve gotten a picture of the other side of it. The drive chain and sprocket were exposed, and right about where your happy little neck scarf would be blowing in the wind. A disaster waiting to happen for sure! They live on the edge in Yooperville, that’s for sure!

This was Ian’s favorite display!
