Jeff Biddiscombe from Washington State
200+ Snowmobile Races from 1970 to 1984.
This February of 2011 Jeff and
his father Roger Biddiscombe were invited to
St. Germain for the Ride
with the Champs.
After a long flight and a drive
during a serious Wisconsin Blizzard, they
were standing again on familiar
ground with their mutual friends from the fast ice oval.
The Snowmobile Hall of Fame
in Germain Wisconsin is
one of the greatest places
to look at the Champion Snomen before us.
This is a building that harnesses
the powerful sleds that "did it" during
the years it was actually happening.
