The Pequot Lakes Antique Snowmobile Rendezvous started some 17 years ago.  Usually on the third weekend in January, the Trailside Park in Pequot Lakes Minnesota turns into an outdoor museum of snowmobile
history.  For many, it's an annual weekend affair, with a trail ride on Friday afternoon followed by a bonfire and
social hour at the American Legion. Saturday's festivities include a sled show and the infamous Antique Snowmobile Races.  Using the Antique Snowmobile Club of America (ASCOA) official race formula, based on sled year, weight, horsepower and time; riders line up and race their 1966 and older sleds to compete in the drag, oval, reverse oval and obstacle course races.  Following the show and races, is social hour, antique/vintage sled apparel style show, dinner and the awards ceremony with a guest speaker.  On Sunday morning there is a build your own omelet breakfast at the Legion.

As for this year, Friday morning, temp was reading 38° below in my truck, while hooking up the trailer, I wondered what kind of turnout we'd have this year.  Despite the crazy cold temperature and windchill, 93 sleds showed up for the trail ride and bonfire on Friday.  Saturday's show included 147 sleds and 33 that had registered for the races.  For many years, there has been only one Larson Falcon at the show.  Rumor had it, four more where planning on
attending this year.  And as guys will be guys, the topic of racing just had to be brought up.  Normally the drag and oval race only race two sleds at a time.  For a special event this year, they added the "Falcon Challenge," a five sled wide drag and oval race which all five Larsons lined up to walk the walk.  Jim Sailor, from Gilbert Minnesota, claimed
the top spot in both races.  Walking around looking at the sleds you get the opportunity to see some pretty unique
sleds.  Occasionally, there are multiple sleds of the same year and model, such was the case this year.  But a highlight this year was, that there were four 1965 Polaris Voyagers at the show that had sequential serial numbers,
3090, 3091, 3092 & 3093.  Pretty remarkable considering it's been some 46 year since these four sleds sat next
to each other.  They were lined up and a few photos were taken to remember the moment.

The show is always a good time,
it is often said, 'It's not a big show, but it's a fun show!"  So clear you calendar for next year and come
check it out.
