STARFIRE KIDS Midnight Blue Express by Larry Preston

Starfire KIDS
~ MIDNIGHT BLUE EXPRESS ~
Larry Preston

On Saturday August 3rd, 2013 in Roseau, Minnesota at the Polaris Factory
Larry Preston [aka: Boy Wonder / vintagesleds.com ] made the debut of
his book STARFIRE KIDS Midnight Blue Express.

The debut was logistically perfect for such an event.
Polaris individuals and families from this particular era of events where
present to share their memories & offer their autograph.

Polaris Fans of the SnoPro era were given the opportunity
to meet their favorite racers, engineers and organizers that participated
in the events that Larry Preston has archived in his book.

This ideal Starfire event was graciously photographed and provided to
SnoPro USA by our good buddy INDY Chris Dileo of Bozeman, Montana.
Chris is a super positive supporter of SnoPro USA and he drove
943 miles in 14 hours each way to attend and bring home these photos.
