If it were up to me, I would not have the "contest" named "North America's Top Snowmobiler" either. That's all it is...a contest. It's just like any other contest, which I am sure every single person on here has entered at least one before. All it consists of is crossing your fingers and hoping you win. That's all I did when I entered this contest. Did not think much about it and hoped for the best. Heck, might as well win a brand new sled instead of pay for another new one! I am sure everyone can relate to that.
If you have a problem with it, then I am sorry to hear that. Quite the responses from some people on here...and they want to call themselves "snowmobilers?" Myself and most of the members on this site would agree that we don't need that kind of negativity towards the sport. I don't care who you are, or what you do...if you are a snowmobiler and love the sport then why bash another individual who loves the sport too? It's a CONTEST, that's it. Plain and simple. I was just fortunate enough to make it this far in the CONTEST and am excited for the opportunity!
As for the people who realize it's just a contest, I appreciate the support and votes. Maybe some other people who sit on here all day and talk down on other snowmobilers will realize that as well. If not, they don't belong on a snowmobiling website like JD...
FYI, I am the one who gets angry when people don't use hand signals and don't slow down for groomers
