I'm a Minocqua local and new to snowmobiling. It'd be fun to do the radar run and see how fast my new Vector will go under more "controlled" conditions. Does anyone know if there is normally an entry fee for this kind of thing, or are they free for anyone who wants to try?

 

[RacerDave]

Entry fee is $15 for 3 runs. I help run the race. The above is slightly misleading. Racing ends around 3-3:30 pm, if there is a tie for fastest speed of the day, then there is a run off, as long as both/all tied sleds are there yet.

Will Yamaha be on the lake with 2008's to test ride?

Yes. Cruiserfest is on Yamaha's list of scheduled demo rides.
I will be there in the morning. I will be wearing an orange Polaris jacket, black bibs and a plain black modular helmet. If you see me there, dont be afraid to say, "hello". For the most part Im harmless.

I don't know how familiar you are with the area but there are alot of towns within 10-20 mins of Minocqua such as St. Germain or Eagle River. They most likely may have places to stay there.

Try Arbor Vitae Motel
1-800-967-9609 About 5-6 miles north of Lake Minocqua on 51. Small motel. Not a lot of parking for big boxs though. Most of the club guys running the race stay there.
