This year at the 10th Annual Vintage Snowmobile Event,
oval racing was added to the venue.  Leafer fan and free-air sleds
once again graced the Caldera in West Yellowstone like they
originally did in the 1960's and 1970's. 

35 Years later the WSVSA resurrects the competition that was last
seen in 1978.  Polaris, Arctic Cat, Ski-Doo & Yamaha have all
maintained the snowmobile industry since and have become known 
as "the big four" manufacturers.  This debut event of Vintage Snowmobile
Racing in West Yellowstone during the Snowmobile Expo
gave modern sled riders the opportunity to see how it was originally done.

For the Vintage Snowmobile Enthusiast, it was the golden opportunity
to get out and flex some vintage sled muscle at the most epic
race location in Snowmobile History out West.

The smell of 2-Stroke smoke, the drop of the green flag and they
were off seeking the checker flag just like the snowmen
that pioneered the sport & raced before us.

the crowd chants "GO BIG YELLOW ! GO BIG YELLOW!"

Great Day for Vintage Racing.  Congratulations DAVE !
