The Classic Vintage Weekend January 7th – 9th, 2010
Venue: The Classic Vintage Weekend January 7th – 9th, 2010 4/20/2010


The 2011 Derby Week will again start off with the Classic Vintage Races, the weekend prior to the Derby. January 7th, 8th, and 9th will be dedicated to the grand old racing machines of the sixties, seventies, and eighties. This race was chosen the 2008 Snowmobile Event of the Year by Snow Goer Magazine. Vintage racing is fast closing on it contemporary counterparts and matching the entry numbers of current sno-cross and ice oval competitors. This style of racing has come a long way from its first appearance, at the Derby in 1991. By 1999, Vintage entries and fan popularity had grown so large that Vintage racing claimed its own three day event, the weekend before the Derby. The machines today are meticulously restored. Engines are tuned and reliable. The competition is highly reminiscent of the “good old days”. Vintage has put Classic in front of its name, becoming Classic Vintage, and lives up to that adjective with superb equipment, popular and recognizable racer names. Vintage race weekend offers many of the features of the Derby event, such as vendor displays, indoor viewing from Hot Seats or Private Corporate Suites and trading race stories in the Last Lap Saloon. An interesting addition to the 2010 Vintage Weekend was the introduction of a new class – the over sixty class (refers to age). Vintage drivers on Vintage sleds will qualify during Vintage weekend and the top ten will race during Friday Night Thunder at the Derby. Since the debut of this class last year, there are at least 5 more drivers who will participate in this class at the 2011 Vintage Weekend. The competition is fierce among drivers in the “over sixty class’. I have heard through the grapevine that Lloyd Riggs is on an intense exercise regime to get in tip top shape for next year. Watch out Doc. Kalinka!! Audrey you too!! Another fun addition which we will continue at 2011 weekend is a Vintage Tour. Saturday, vintage sled owners are invited to take part in a 25-30 mile loop ride around Eagle River. The guided ride will leave the track at 11:00 o’clock, enjoy a lunch stop and be back at the track around 4:00 p.m. There is no charge and each rider is responsible for his own food and gas costs. One of the Vintage traditions is to invite fans to ride to the track on their own vintage sleds. The machines are parked inside the grounds in a static display for the crowd. Saturday, at 6:00 p.m., these same sleds form a parade into Eagle River and upon returning to the track, the riders take a lap or two on the most famous ice oval in snowmobile history. For a real nostalgic treat and some of the hottest competition on ice – race fans can catch it all at the Tenth Annual Classic Vintage Championship.
