Love them old machines. When I lived in Iowa, I'd go up to Lake Okoboji and Spirit Lake quite often for the snowmobile drags. Awesome beasts going insanely fast on ice.
Owned several different models back in the 80's.

I'm just chuckling that there are places south of the arctic circle that have vintage snowmobile meets.

Never been on a snowmobile. Done plenty of jetskiing and quad biking (you can always tell jetskiers on quad bikes - we're the ones trying to go round corners on 2 wheels lol).

Very neat, so what was the oldest 'sled' at the show ?
Any steam powered ones ? (that is a serious question lol I've seen steam powered verisons of most vehicles)

And where are the pimped out rides ? gotta be some.
