2011 Eagle River Reunion
The 11th Annual World Championship Vintage Snowmobile Show & Reunion was held on the 16th and 17th of September at the Eagle River Derby Track in Eagle River Wisconsin. The Reunion was somewhat different this year. The weather was excellent. No down pours of rain or sleet! The only problem that you may have had if you attended would be a little sunburn. Yes, the weather was great this year and everyone was out in it having a great time. Like always the Derby Track put together a well organized Show, Swap, and Drags. For the second year in a row the Derby Track also took a small break in the action to introduce the next ten World Championship Hall of Fame Inductees. This has been a great addition to the show. Everyone really seems to enjoy the stories told by the drivers leading up to the day they became a World Champion.
On the drag track the drivers got into action Friday night under the lights and they were able to use the new and improved clay starting line. The action started all over on Saturday with a full day of racing. The day ended with a Victory Party Saturday night. The Drag Sled numbers were average for the fall show. The competition was at an all time high. Race after race was decided by only inches. Big hats off to the North Vintage Snowmobile Race Series for running a very well organized event.
