Ride your sled across the mighty Mac!

First chance to do this and with your vintage iron as well

Makes me wish I still had an older unit!

Yea but who's got wheel kits, not too many folks I'd figure

 

[uncle_ed]

I wonder if some of the more sturdy ski saver wheel kits would work?

Nice to see that the powers that be in michigan understand the importance of snowmobiling to michigans economy and would therefore promote such an event!

I saw a vintage snowmobile promotional add several years ago in which 2 women on Rupp Snowmobiles were photographed at the toll gate. I'm sure it said they were the "first" to ever cross the bridge on snowmobiles?

Do you have to buy a Michigan trail pass for this? Just wondering if I can save some $ since we won't actually be riding on a trail. Maybe I'm thinking a little to much

Last Thursday at the SAW meeting in Christmas the DNR was talking about this event.
Yes you need wheel kits.
No picks or metal cleats.
Yes your sled needs to be registered. I thought this was strange. Most relic type rides cover this.
Will be interesting to see what kind of turn out they have with the above....
