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.

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.
