The wife and I made it to Thief River Falls MN yesterday and toured the Arctic Cat factory great experience. I would have liked to have made it Friday to see the line running however great time.
Thank you Arctic Cat, I have owned snowmobiles since 1982 and have rode Cats since 1991.

My brother and I went over Saturday after work. They had a great turnout and lots of old Arctic Cats.

There are a ton of pictures on vintagesleds.com

I would have loved to see those old Scorpion race sleds.

Looks like it was a really good weekend.

Great Pics! Looks like a good time in TRF.

The green and black El Tig're models still look cool today. Funny how the both the early Cats and Polaris were red. Must have been the easiest color to get ahold of in farm country.

Pretty impressive to have a 50 year aniversary in an industry where so many have fallen by the wayside. It's even more impressive when you consider that Cat (and Polaris) snowmobiles weren't product spinoffs of a much larger company. It was their bread and butter in the early days.

I do have a couple of questions though. Why do the Crossfires look so much whiter in photos and whose that guy riding it?
