Feb 16/13 - Vintage Run today

Young (we have two 120 Polaris kids sleds driven by the kids themselves all the way to Rain Gauge and back) and OLD joined in the Vintage run with a great amount of enthusiasm. Now some are setting the trend of sourcing out the matching vintage snowsuits for their machines - competition is getting detailed! We had 54 sleds entered this year and only three or four I think had to be towed. The red one is a Fox Paw I believe - so sorry if I have that wrong - and its 1963 or 4 - took about 90 mins to get to the end and 60 to come back! It was awesome! Congrats to Chantel of A&E Racing for winning an award! Her Uncle found the sled that was her father's first sled and gave it to her for Christmas. Not sure of its age but its the primer coloured sled in the photos and is a Skee Bee so now Chantel is Queen Bee! Our kids woke up this morning and you would swear that it was Christmas. They could hardly wait to take their 1970 Snow Cruiser out and ended up winning the Rat Rod award. It was a wonderful family event and so much fun. Thank you to all who participated. Now for the weather....it is snowing and the kind of snow that might end up being note worthy. Started this afternoon at Corbin and snowing a bit less here at our place but we have a cm with fingers crossed it will be a 5-10cm accumulation at Corbin by tomorrow. Regular Poker Derby is tomorrow - be prepared to buy memberships or pay $15 as it has been groomed and will be marshalled. Cheers Gang and have fun sledding this weekend! V
