We traveled to Mont Du Lac near Duluth, MN this past Saturday. It was a beautiful afternoon and it was nice to unwind after working many hours this winter. Even better were the results for our team of Yamaha Blue and our Polaris Switchback Assault 800. We took four 1st place's and three 2nd's. Among our 1st place finishes was the TOP GUN class which we finished 1st and 2nd in. It's the one to win and it consists of 2 strokes up to 1200 c.c. with turbos and 4 stroke turbos which are limited to pump gas. Our Nytro took first and our Viper took 2nd in a near photo finish. My 14 yr. old son took 1st in trail stock aboard a 800 Assault and a 3rd in Race stock 800 which was great considering he raced a bone stock sled against improved engines. We go to Marquette next weekend and we're looking forward to another fun weekend with our families and our employees. It's just nice getting together with everyone outside of work. There's my story for the day:)

That's true Matt! Once in awhile he climbs aboard depending on what he has going on:) I'm sure Trisha will put some video or something on our facebook page GTL. Thank you:)

Uphill side by side. Yes, there were Cat's, Doo, and Poo:) No 850's. Mostly modified sleds there. Some fuel injected 1200 c.c. stuff and some very light weight Doo stuff too.

I was planning to go to that with my son to watch but he ended up with a broken big toe from gym on Friday so we didn't make it. What a gorgeous day for it.
