The 16 Annual Classic Sno-machine Rally was another success. Finally
the temperature cooperated a little but still not much snow. That
made for a kind of rough trail ride but 20 or so hardly souls made
the 10 mile round trip. The silent auction was a hit (thanks to
everyone who donated items) as well as a spirited live auction.
Thanks to Tony from Goatropers Bar for all the donations. The
highlight of the live auction was the sale of the 1971 Moto Ski
which went to a local guy for $225.00 The Loud sled contest drew a
crowd with "team Johnson West "taking home the cash with of course a
Johnson. Best dressed went to Ray Theisen wearing Skiroule colors.
Best of show was a Polaris "lil Andy" It was announced during the
awards that next years feature will be Yamaha also look for a new
date for the rally next year. We are looking at moving it to the end
of February or the beginning of March. Thanks again to everyone that
made 2008 a success and look for big things in 2009!"

It is time to start thinking about the 2008 Rally
again, as mentioned in the newsletter the feature will be
any sled powered by a Hirth ® Engine, This is a unique idea as far
as feature sleds are concerned – we could see anything from the old
reliable one-lungers to the awesome Hirth Honker 793. I tried to
find out how many sled manufacturers produced machines with Hirth
power under the hood – I can not find any accurate information on
this, but I am sure this feature will include a very extensive
variety of machines in about as many shapes and colors as one could
imagine. The show will again be held at Goat Ropers Bar and Grill
located in Farming, MN on Saturday February 2nd 2008, the format
will be much like it has been the past two years – a trail ride
(approx. 10 miles) if weather permits, a loud pipes contest, a
silent auction, a live auction, and of course the awards
presentation at the end of the day. The CSM board has discussed the
idea of having a swap area as well, at this point we do not have a
designated area for this but I am sure we could come up with one –
If we have enough interest in this we will provide space for any
vendors – Contact Al Theisen @ 320-685-9874 as early as possible if
you want to take part in this, we did have several vendors at this
years summer show and that went over quite well. Remember – Mark
your Calendar for Saturday February 2nd, 2008 – the next issue will
have more information on this event as well as directions and
parking information.
16th Annual Rally & Show Info

 The
8th annual summer is now history.
Hot was the word of the day with temps in the 90s but it
didn’t stop hard core snowmobile enthusiasts from coming to Cold
Spring MN for the Classic Sno-machines summer show. This years show
field was “across the creek” from the last few years location.
Providing a better show field as well as easier loading and
unloading. There also was some much needed shade. Many different
manufacturers where represented with a large number of trail sleds
present. Old friends and some new faces made for a great day. A
special thanks to Dave from super America for providing breakfast
and soft drinks. Best of show went to Ted Stanger with his 70 300d
Chaparral. Thanks to everyone who went the extra mile to bring
sleds. Next up the 2008 16th Annual Rally.

 2007
Classic Sno-Machines summer show
this will be held on Saturday July 28th in conjunction with
the Cold Spring “Hometown Pride Days” located directly behind the
Cold Spring brewery located in Cold Spring, MN. We at CSM try to
keep the summer show a bit more relaxed than the winter show and
rally – we will still have awards as well as a “Peoples Choice”
trophy. The show is located adjacent to the Cold Spring Street
Machines car show and a vintage tractor show as well as many other
activities for all ages around town, you will be able to unload on
the street and park your trailers next to the show area – we do
recommend getting there before 9:00 am if possible as the street we
are next to will be closed to traffic after about 10:00 am. Last
year some of those attending brought swap items, once again we
encourage this! If you have any items please bring them - we do not
at this time have an “official” swap area but you are welcome to
bring items in and display your wares near your sled, we do not have
room for trailers in the show area but you could park a swap trailer
in the general parking area next to the show if you would like.
See you at the show!"

The 15th annual Classic Sno-machines rally was held Sat Feb 10th
2007 at Goat Ropers bar and grill located in Farming, Mn. The
temperature was a chilly -21 when we arrived to set up for the
show, it was cold but that didn’t stop 300+ people with 138
machines from coming to the event. Feature sleds this year were
Massey Ferguson and John Deere – we had a strong turnout in the
John Deere class, survivor class is also becoming very popular
with many great entries as well. Several people did bring their
winning sleds from the 14th annual rally to be proudly displayed
in the winner’s circle. This event also included a “Loudest
sled” contest for the first time – this generated a lot of
interest along with a lot of noise! Mike Sobieck was the overall
winner with a mint restored 1973 Polaris Starfire 650, a big
thanks to Jack and Kevin for helping with this contest and
providing the sound meter. Live and silent auctions were going
on all day with many very nice items available to bid on
including a vintage racing print, pedal tractor, and many other
vintage snowmobile parts and miscellaneous items. Mike and Judy
Maegher from VSCA were there with the Hetteen cup he won the
week before at Glenwood vintage racing event. Best vintage
dressed was once again won by a participant in vintage “Cat”
gear. Unfortunately the lack of snow forced cancellation of
trail ride, many people were willing to ride anyway but the
trail looked a bit too rough with about 1” of snow. The big
winner of the best of show went to Chuck Moser with an awesome
restored John Deere 340s. The feature for the 2008 Rally was
announced, this will be “Hirth Power” focusing on the 650 and
793 models but including any machine that is Hirth powered.
Overall the 15th annual went well considering the weather was
once again a major factor, Thanks to all of the CSM sponsors,
Goat Ropers bar and grill, Mike Meagher and VSCA, and last but
not least all of the participants for bringing and showing their
machines. |
