HANDICAP VEHICLE POLICY

Disclaimers

  • We reserve the right to cancel or change any element of this event.  This most likely would be due to a situation beyond our control, like the weather or some catastrophe.
  • Under 18 must wear a helmet. Be aware that Minnesota law requires that any youth under the age of 18 must wear a helmet. This includes the trail ride, racing events or just tooling around.  

No registration or trail stickers needed to attend our event

Because this event is on private property,  your vintage, antique or classic machine does not need a Minnesota registration or trail sticker on the grounds, and on the trail rides.

Now, if you want to do some other snowmobiling in Minnesota on your classic machine, be aware that Minnesota  honors another state’s snowmobile registration for up to 30 consecutive days of your stay in Minnesota.

However, If your  out-of-state snowmobile does not have any current registration then you would  need to apply for the MN collector permit (free) or collector  registration ($ 9.50). Your out-of –state snowmobile would also need the trail sticker to  operate on state or grant-in-aid trails unless you have the MN collector snowmobile permit.

If you  have questions about snowmobile registration in Minnesota, call the Dept. of  Natural Resources @ 651-296-2316, or 1-800-285-2000.

Park on Thursday Afternoon

If you are participating in the “Brand Loyalty” groups in the north parking lot, feel free to park your trailer at the site on Thursday afternoon after 3:00 pm — and leave your trailer on-site throughout the weekend.  (Many retrieve their trailers on Sunday morning.)

NOTE: To enter event grounds, park your enclosed trailer, or set up your swap space on Thursday afternoon, you must display your weekend admission.   You will be checked at the entrance to the grounds.

With this option, out-of-town visitors do not have to tow their trailers around town, to the hotel, to the restaurant.

Remember to lock your trailer when you leave for your hotel and a night out on the town.
