Midwest Ride-In Vintage & Classic Snowmobile Show, Ride and Snocross Race at ERX

[@larryw5429]

Only thing we are doing in midwest is looking at grass!!

[@caproskis1]

Think snow!

[@limbandtreeremoval]

it's Crazy, and so unfortunate... Have to go farther North

[@NJP76]

@@limbandtreeremoval Actually, they will get more to the south this "winter". Sadly, we in Wisconsin will have pretty much nothing to ride on this year.

[@dubiousf00d]

Basically. Around 2 or 3 inches in my area. About an hour north there's Around 5 inches but enough in the ditches to play

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

The main reason I gave up on sleds. We definitely don’t get the amount of snow we used to get in the 70’s - 90’s even early 2000’s. And then if we did get some fairly decent snow the trails would be beat to hell by the end of the weekend.

Valdi is such a character. Haha! What a passion and knowledge on the topic!

[@caproskis1]

Valdi is the best!

[@nuttersspeedshop]

That's awesome that you got Valdi on the video!

[@caproskis1]

Of course! Wouldn't be the Midwest Ride-In without Valdi!

[@GearheadRob319]

Cool sleds. Love em.

[@Noname30000]

Fingers crossed this event happens this year! Been looking forward to it

[@caproskis1]

The date is set for Jan 26-27, 2024!

[@GarageWorx]

[@fredliperson9171]

Wish I lived closer! ...

[@caproskis1]

It's worth the journey! We hope to see you there some day.

[@iwejun]

Same in Northern Wisconsin, everyone holding their breath about the lack of snow.

[@jamesnicols8561]

Would love to go to that show

[@caproskis1]

We'd love to see you there!

[@dave-uf8ir]

[@jamesnicols8561]

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

4:42 someone got too close to that hugger it sounds like.

I'm 31 and my first snowmobile was a 71 sno jet 292 star jet may it rest in piece side not I was 4 when I get it and I was 7 when my dad sold it

[@dubiousf00d]

Only thing i kinda disagree with is this IS NOT a cheap hobby. Especially when you start wanting to go faster😂😂

[@glenmallory9982]

Amen to that. We burnt through money to the tune of ten times the original price of a 40 year old 340 machine just trying to drag race in 340 trail classes in little barn yard events. But I have no regrets. The good times I spent with my daughter driving were well worth it. 👍

[@kollinspencer847]

only one alpine

[@DavidSmith-tu1nd]

My old man had one when I was a kid in the 70's. Had a single ski up front and a little trailer that was equipped with leaf spring shocks. Lol think top speed was maybe 15 25.

[@kollinspencer847]

@@DavidSmith-tu1nd did it have the elan hood?

[@DavidSmith-tu1nd]

@@kollinspencer847 I have pictures of it. Big round front nose Cone. Looked like a scoop if yellow ice cream. Think it was a 398cc fan cooled engine. I think it had a dual track if I remember correctly

[@kollinspencer847]

@@DavidSmith-tu1nd yeah alpines have two tracks and one ski did it have two headlights? and two cylinders? thats the super alpine

[@DavidSmith-tu1nd]

@@kollinspencer847 Yeah I remember it had two cylinders. It also had a yellow steel skidoo tilt trailer. My Dad sold it to a coworker in 86. There is one of these Alpines on top of a roof in Kremmling Colorado. It's a decoration. Lol.

[@paulmazzola398]

No Yamaha Srx?

[@caproskis1]

We'll try to catch one for you this winter.

[@yourselfdotcomlol]

Hahaha. She said greasy triples 😂

[@dubiousf00d]

I heard that and instantly thought "oh ya she's cool"😂
