MVSS MIDWEST RIDE-IN 2026
Racing Through the 90s
January 30-31, 2026
ERX Motor Park, Elk River, MN
The Midwest Ride-In is the world's biggest family-friendly vintage snowmobile get together.
Our Organizational Committee is working hard to hold our end-of-January event.
Held annually at the Elk River Motorsports Park (ERX) in Elk River Minnesota. It’s the world’s largest show of old sleds! Join hundreds of antique, vintage, and classic snowmobiles tooling around on this 500-acre property. We offer daily trail rides, indoor displays, judged show, swap meet, brand loyalty corrals, and vintage snowmobile racing.
Come celebrate winter with some of the finest folks in the world on the last weekend in January
Vintage snowmobiling isn’t all about the machines. It’s also about the fun, colorful and amazing people who share a common interest in these machines… and a nostalgia for a time when we all realized winter is the best part of the year.
Come celebrate that passion with us this winter!

Just How Big is the Midwest Ride-In?
Checkout these images from our event when held in Waconia. It really was a perfect location for close to 30 years, but the city has expanded and much of the onsite parking is now a housing development necessitating our move in 2020.
ERX Motor Park in Elk River, MN is the Midwest’s premier year-round motorsports and event facility, featuring off-road and snowmobile racing, concerts and charitable events. There are over 10 miles of wooded trails on the 500 acre private property, a world class snocross track, and a nearly one mile dirt off-road truck track.
This is Sunday. Foreground is the sleds lined up for the judged show. Behind see the oval race track from our previous location before moving to Elk River for the 2020 show.
The view from outside the plane window – the event is so big that it is hard to fit it all in one photo!
On the lake are the drag racing lanes to the right, parking to the left and oval track.
This shows Sunday morning action — judged show area in the forefront, ballroom to the right and behind it the swap meet area.
