This year we made our 2nd trip to the I-500 Snowmobile Race in Sault Ste. Marie! Basically...it's a VERY cold race around an ice track, you stand outside and watch it for 6 hours and drink alcoholic beverages of your choice :) This year we knew a few racers so it was a lot more interesting to watch!
Justin is armed and ready for a long day in 30 degree temperatures!
John and Adam sit and watch the race together.
This year we had a big group of our friends join us! Kim, me, and Marissa are here taking a break from the race!
We saught warmth in the heated tent outside the track. They served pizza, hot dogs, and hot cocoa! Kim, Marissa, Me, Krin.
This is myt good friend's husband who raced this year--it's a very expensive race to enter and you have to qualify to even be in it! Very cool. Unfortunately near the end of the race....his sled lost control and broke down :(
A lot of people come out for this race....it's pretty much the only thing that happens in the Soo each year :) Snowsuits galore, but a great time!
The guys start their engines! The snowmobiles are INCREDIBLY loud as they go around the track at speeds upto 120mph!!! It's an intense race of 500 miles. Good times had by all. One guy got the flu, most of us gambled, and we ALL had fun. A weekend away from it all!
